BAFTAs TV 2019: Billie Piper dons one-shouldered blazer-style gown

BAFTAs TV 2019: Billie Piper cuts a chic figure in a one-shouldered blazer-style gown as she attends the star-studded ceremony

She’s nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in BBC thriller Collateral.

And Billie Piper was every inch the leading lady as she turned heads in a black one-shouldered blazer-style dress as she attended the 2019 BAFTA TV Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

The actress, 36, looked stunning in the quirky floor length number which featured a daring thigh-high split.

Flawless: Billie Piper she turned heads in a black one-shouldered blazer-style dress as she attended the 2019 BAFTA TV Awards at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday

The dramatic gown hugged the star’s curves perfectly, while the one-armed detail allowed Billie to perfectly show off her décolletage. 

The mum-of-two added height to her frame in a pair of pointed, black heels which featured a pretty silver buckle along the strap.

Billie finished her glamorous look with a smattering of glittering silver jewellery. 

Her blonde tresses were swept back into a chic up-do, while she added lashings of black mascara to her eyes.

The BAFTA TV Awards is an annual celebration of the best British and international viewing offered to UK audiences. 

This year, BBC America’s Killing Eve has swept the board with a whopping 14 nominations, with the hit thriller series’ leading stars Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh both up for the Leading Actress gong.

The spy-action thriller is also up for the Drama Series award, as well as Must-See Moment, which is voted for by the public, with its chilling last scene when Eve, played by Oh, stabs Villanelle, played by Comer.

Killing Eve’s creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is nominated for the Writer: Drama gong, while Fiona Shaw, who plays Carolyn Martens, and Kim Bodnia, who plays Konstantin, are also up for Supporting Actress and Actor at the star-studded annual extravaganza.   

Other categories the popular series is nominated for include – Costume Design, Director: Fiction, Editing: Fiction, Original Music, Photography and Lighting: Fiction, Production Design, Sound: Fiction and Titles & Graphic Identity.

Hot on Killing Eve’s heels, A Very English Scandal has an impressive 12 nominations for the BAFTA Television Awards 2019.

Hugh Grant has been nominated for the Leading Actor gong for his character Jeremy Thorpe, while Ben Whishaw, who plays Norman Scott, and Monica Dolan, who plays Marion Thorpe, are up for the Supporting Actress and Actor gong.

Best foot forward: Billie finished her glamorous look with a smattering of glittering silver jewellery 

The political miniseries has also been nominated for the categories Mini-Series, Costume Design, Director: Fiction, Editing: Fiction, Make Up & Hair Design, Original Music, Production Design, Sound: Fiction and Writer: Drama.

Also listed for two nods are Geordie presenting duo, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, after a tumultuous year.  They have been nominated for both Entertainment Performance and Entertainment Programme for Saturday Night Takeaway.

Ant made a return to television screens earlier this month for the new Britain’s Got Talent trailer, it it just the start of his comeback after he stepped down from all his commitments for a year after a difficult few months.

His personal issues – which saw him develop a painkiller addiction, end his marriage and commit a drink-driving offence – saw him sit out the last few episodes of BGT 2018, as well as Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, last spring. 

Glamorous: The star smouldered on the red carpet as she posed up a storm ahead of the prestigious event, where she is nominated for her role in Collateral

Also with several nominations are Patrick Melrose, Bodyguard, The Little Drummer Girl, Mrs Wilson, Bros: After the Screaming Stops and Bandersnatch.

The Leading Actress nominations also have a lot of strong contenders with Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer, Bodyguard’s Keeley Hawes, Mrs Wilson’s Ruth Wilson and Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh going head-to-head for the gong.

While Hugh Grant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lucian Msamati and Chance Perdomo are all up for the Leading Actor gong.
