A host of female celebrities walked the red carpet at the BAFTAs with some very important plus ones indeed, bringing along strong female figures who have done their bit to change the world for the better.

And on a night where the guests wore black in a bid to support Time’s Up,a movement against 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment founded on January 1, 2018, by Hollywood celebrities in response to the Weinstein effect and #MeToo, it perhaps couldn’t have come at a better time.

Loung Ung, who she has known for 16 years, complemented Angelina and showed her support for the worthwhile initiative by wearing a black full-length gown which featured sheer panelling.

Loung wrote the book First They Killed My Father, which Angelina adapted into her directorial passion, which told the story of a young girl’s version of the 1975 Cambodian genocide from the child’s five-year-old eyes until she turns nine.

Having fun: The pals appeared in jovial spirits together
