Each year, the Charles Finch & Chanel pre-BAFTA party sets the stage for an exciting awards weekend, bringing together some of the biggest names in entertainment. Held at 5 Hertford Street, this year’s event was especially significant, marking the 25th anniversary of the star-studded dinner.
For actress Nico Parker, the evening was a highlight of the weekend. Speaking to Bazaar from The Savoy—where she checked in ahead of the celebrations—she reflected on the grandeur of the moment: “It feels like I’m in a different universe,” she shared of the historic London hotel.
Though the daughter of actress Thandiwe Newton and filmmaker Ol Parker, Nico is quickly making a name for herself in the industry. At just 20, she has already earned a TV BAFTA nomination for her role in HBO’s The Last of Us, with upcoming appearances in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Her deep love for both fashion and film—cultivated through her upbringing—shines through, as does her sharp, witty, and effortlessly charming personality.
For the pre-BAFTA event, Parker wore an elegant monochrome Chanel jacquard two-piece, featuring a tailored jacket and matching skirt. Below, she opens up about her evolving relationship with fashion, the films that inspire her style, and the cherished pieces she loves to ‘borrow’ from her mother’s wardrobe.
