OXFORD actress Florence Pugh took to the red carpet last night for the Bafta Film Awards.
She was among a stream of stars who wore black to the ceremony, in support of a campaign against sexual harassment in the industry.
The 22-year-old, a former pupil at St Edward's, Cokethorpe and Wychwood schools in Oxfordshire, was one of five nominees up for the Rising Star award.
She tweeted ahead of the ceremony to admit she was more than a little nervous.

The prize was won by Daniel Kaluuya, who was praised by critics for his role in horror film Get Out.
Miss Pugh, whose father Clinton Pugh runs runs Kazbah and Café Coco in Cowley Road, previously said she felt 'truly honoured' to be nominated.
This weekend it was revealed she signed a letter supporting the Time's Up movement.
Among other winners last night was Gary Oldman, who was named 'leading actor' for his role in Darkest Hour.
He played a convincing part as Sir Winston Churchill, who was born at Blenheim Palace and is buried in nearby Bladon.
Part of the film was shot at Bicester Heritage.
