They are currently at the top of their game in the movie world.

And British beauties Emilia Clarke and Felicity Jones proved they're leading the sartorial stakes too, as they took centre-stage at the pre-BAFTA party hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel at London's Annabel's on Saturday.

The Game Of Thrones star, 30, looked virtually unrecognisable with a blunt fringe cut as she rocked a metallic biker jacket, while Felicity, 33, opted for a classic LBD.

Emilia looked worlds away from her usually lowkey red carpet appearances in the gold cropped jacket which she wore over a semi-sheer knitted maxidress.

Injecting even more sparkle to the look, the Me Before You star added some three-strap diamante-embellished mules.

Wearing her raven hair in a sleek bob, she highlighted her striking green eyes with lashings of mascara and an iridescent bronze shadow.

Top of their game: The British stars rocked very different ensembles but looked equally chic no the night

Cute couple: Felicity later cosied up to her commercial director boyfriend Charles Guard, who she has reportedly been dating for almost two years

Felicity, meanwhile, kept it demure in a textured A-line black dress, which she teamed with sheer polka-dot tights and black cross-strap courts.

Looking every inch the angelic beauty, Felicity couldn't resist confessing to E! News about her less than innocent ways in the past.

Turning heads: The 44-year-old actress stunned in the plunging pleated number, which she teamed with a scarlet slick of lipstick

Keeping fashionable company: Amy Adams, Julia Stiles and Skins star Kaya Scodelario stunned in contrasting but equally chic ensembles

Leading ladies: Thandie and Julia certainly caught the eye, with one opting for colour while the other kept it monochrome

'When did I go rogue? Probably when I was growing up and I was a teenager. At times I was a bit of a rebellious teenager!' she proclaimed in December.

Felicity also previously spoke about her joy over young girls looking up to her character, Rebel Alliance fighter Jyn Erso - an abandoned child of war who must decide what she believes in as the world devolves into chaos.

She revealed to the Daily Mirror: 'I just feel it's a wonderful moment that young girls get to celebrate someone like Jyn just as they did with Daisy Ridley's Rey (in Star Wars: The Force Awakens).

'She is someone who has great humanity, she has an independent spirit and lives by her beliefs, and I think there's something wonderful about her for a young girl to admire,' she continued.

Loved up: Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe, who have been an item since 2012, looked well-dressed for the occasion

Happy families: It's been quite a year for Eddie and Hannah, who welcomed their first child, daughter Iris Mary, into the world in June

Meanwhile, glittery Hollywood musical La La Land will battle gritty British drama I, Daniel Blake for the top prize at the EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday.

Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield and Hugh Grant are among the UK stars hoping to walk away with Bafta acting gongs.

La La Land, a whimsical love story about an aspiring actress and a jazz musician, leads the nominations with 11 and has already made Oscar history by landing more nods than any other musical.

It will go head-to-head with Ken Loach's unflinching examination of life in the UK welfare system for the best film Bafta, after winning the coveted Palme d'Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Also vying for best film will be sci-fi movie Arrival, melancholy drama Manchester By The Sea and Moonlight, a coming of age story about a gay black man growing up in Miami.

Blunt has received a leading actress nod for her role in The Girl On The Train, while Garfield is nominated for leading actor for playing a US Army medic in Mel Gibson's film Hacksaw Ridge.

It was one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year.

And Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them has delivered accordingly, as fans were seemingly flocking to cinemas across the nation to make the film this year's biggest opening weekend at the box office.

The Harry Potter prequel, written by J.K. Rowling, earned a whopping £15.3 million in ticket sales last weekend - trumping every film in the franchise, bar the final two.

The film, which introduces a new pre-Potter era, has already recouped a total of £176.8m against its estimated £240m production budget and marketing costs.

And the President of Warner Bros. Entertainment U.K. gushed over the terrific figures, saying: 'We are thrilled with the huge response from British and Irish audiences to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

'Whether long-time Harry Potter fans or newcomers to J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, moviegoers have shown how excited they are to join us for the start of a whole new era.

'These tremendous results are a testament to the work of the filmmakers, the cast and all the talented craftsmen whose hard work at Leavesden Studios brought this universe to life.'

Meanwhile, the US box office enjoyed an equally successful opening weekend, debuting to a magical $75 million.

Warner Bros. spent $180 million (£144m in the UK) on making the movie, bringing back David Yates who directed four of the previous boy wizard's outings, according to Variety.

Foreign audiences also gave it a thumbs up, pouring an extra $143.3 million (£114m) into the coffers for a global haul of $218.3 million.

And that's enough to please any goblin at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the only financial institution in the wizarding world.

The result confirms Warner Bros' high hopes for the Potter spin-off and its decision to back five installments in the fantasy series.

Healthy result: Marvel's Doctor Strange landed in second, bringing in $17.5 million, to push its domestic gross to $181.5 million after three weeks and a stunning $571.5 million globally

Second place went to Marvel's Doctor Strange, which brought in $17.5 million to push its domestic gross to $181.5 million after three weeks in US theaters.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the good Doctor, the blockbuster has also performed healthily worldwide earning $390 million for a $571.5 million take.

DreamWorks Animation's Trolls, based on the popular dolls and featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, took third with $17.5 million.

That brings the family friendly film's domestic tally to $116.2 million and its global take to $261.3 million.
