Alan Cumming's frequent wardrobe changes are one of the hallmarks of the U.S. versions of The Traitors. So it only makes sense that the Scottish actor, who is hosting the BAFTAs for the first time tonight, didn't disappoint on the red carpet. Cumming arrived at London's Royal Festival Hall in black overcoat textured with tassels and an ombré finish at the bottom, accessorized with a custom-made brooch fastened in place of a bowtie from British jeweler Atlas Carré.

Cumming, who recently hosted the BAFTA Television Awards in 2025, is succeeding Rivals actor David Tennant as the film awards show's host. "As we honor the outstanding talent in film that brings stories to life on screen, we know that Alan will give us an unforgettable night full of laughter, magic and plenty of surprises, and maybe some extraordinary outfits!" said Emma Baehr, executive director of awards and content at BAFTA, in a statement when Cumming was announced as host last year.

However, The Good Wife star promised there would be "some mischief" during his remarks on stage. "I know I've got to strike that balance between celebration and mischief, but I won't be too satirical or mean because we're there to celebrate people's achievements," Cumming said earlier this month. "I can get away with more than most people would because I'm mischievous and a bit cute, so that lets me be a little more biting or provocative without scaring people away."

Cumming hasn't been nominated for a BAFTA to date, but he was honored with a BAFTA Scotland Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television in 2018. The X-Men 2 actor has several projects in the works.

Along with a civilian version of The Traitors coming to the U.S. to counter the celebrity-only one on Peacock, Cumming is also expected to reprise his role as Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday in 2027.
