BAFTA After-Party A-Listers Flood Don Julio’s Winners’ Bar as Celebrations Roll On Until 2AM

Once the trophies were handed out, BAFTA’s biggest names headed straight for the night’s most exclusive spot.

Following the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2026, the industry’s elite gathered at the Royal Festival Hall after-party, where Tequila Don Julio’s invite-only Winners’ Bar became the ultimate post-ceremony hangout.

Among the first spotted was Jessie Buckley, one of the UK’s most critically respected actresses, soaking up the celebrations alongside Mark Strong, a familiar fixture of awards season and prestige cinema.

Fashion and culture collided as Leomie Anderson and Munroe Bergdorf arrived, adding front-row energy to the winners’ space, while Russell Tovey, long admired for his stage and screen work, was seen deep in conversation well into the night.

Also spotted celebrating were Jamie Winstone, Cat Burns, whose chart success has made her one of the UK’s most recognisable voices, and beauty insider Tish Weinstock, a constant presence on fashion’s most exclusive guest lists.

The Winners’ Bar, first launched in 2025, was designed for exactly this moment. While BAFTA winners waited for their masks to be engraved, they were handed a personalised bottle of Don Julio 1942, engraved with their name and gifted as a trophy-night keepsake.

Hosting duties fell to Lyas Medini, who kept things lively while chatting with director Akinola Davies and actor Robert Aramayo, both firmly on the industry’s watchlist.

What they were drinking

Mini Tommy’s Margaritas, served in 5cl Don Julio 1942 bottles with gold straws, were the drink of choice, alongside Coconut Old Fashioneds and Palomas.

With engraved BAFTA masks collected and personalised bottles in hand, guests drifted out well past midnight, proof that while the awards may have ended, the celebrations were only just getting started.
