As a classical singer, Aled Jones is perhaps not best known for his fondness of partying, but his daughter, Emilia Jones, appears to be becoming something of a girl about town. The 23-year-old starlet left a pre-BAFTA bash in Mayfair with a huge grin on her face, dressed in black but showing off her impressive midriff. Emilia Jones is now one of Britain’s most sought-after young actresses, having recently appeared in the Running Man movie alongside Glen Powell.
Star-Studded Attendees at the Pre-BAFTA Event
Ms Jones was joined at the party by a host of notable figures, including Tilda Swinton and Mark Strong. Irish actor Paul Mescal, 30, also attended and seemed a little worse for wear as he left the venue. He wore a striped tie that might have taken him back to his breakout role as school pupil Connor Waldron on the BBC drama Normal People.
Warming Up for the BAFTA Film Awards
The star was warming up for tonight’s BAFTA Film Awards, where he is the favourite to win the best supporting actor award for his role as William Shakespeare in Chloe Zhao’s Hanmet. Paul Mescal will be amongst the world’s A-list at the event, which is held at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Focus on Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner
The event promises to be all about Timothée Chalamet, who is shortlisted for both best movie for Marty Supreme and best actor for his portrayal of the larger-than-life table tennis player. Mr Chalamet, 30, will be joined by his billionaire beauty mogul girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who will jet into London for the night. She is expected to stand by the actor’s side during the ceremony.
Support and Speculation
It is understood that Ms Jenner, 28, will attend the ceremony, which is hosted by actor Alan Cumming, as Mr Chalamet’s guest. An industry source said, ‘Kylie will be there to support Timothée. She will be flying in. She has become such a huge part of his awards journey.’ Their appearance is set to quash rumours that their three-year-long romance had been rocky.
Other Notable Nominees and Attendees
Leonardo DiCaprio is also expected to attend the BAFTA Film Awards, as he is nominated for best actor in his movie One Battle After Another. The film has received 13 other nominations, including best film. Meanwhile, Carey Mulligan is nominated in the Supporting Actress category for her part in The Ballad of Wallis Island.
The pre-BAFTA party in Mayfair served as a glamorous precursor to the main event, highlighting the excitement and anticipation surrounding the awards. With stars like Emilia Jones and Paul Mescal mingling with industry veterans, the evening set the tone for a night of celebration and recognition in the film world.
