Harvey Weinstein’s ex-wife Georgina Chapman made a stunning return to the red carpet at the Bafta Film Awards on Sunday night, to support her prize-winning partner.

London-born Georgina, 48, who co-founded fashion brand Marchesa, split from disgraced film producer Weinstein, 72, in the wake of numerous sexual abuse allegations against him, which started the #MeToo movement.

In the following years, she has kept a pretty low profile; the mother-of-two didn’t even go out in public for five months after the news of Weinstein’s pattern of horrifying predatory behaviour broke.

‘All the women who have been hurt deserve dignity and respect, so I want to give it the time it deserves. It’s a time for mourning, really,’ she told Vogue in a May 2018 interview while addressing cancelling her brand’s runway show for its upcoming collection and opting not to offer out any of its gowns for awards season.

She also revealed: ‘I was so humiliated and so broken that I didn’t think it was respectful to go out. I thought, “Who am I to be parading around with all of this going on?” It’s still so very, very raw.

‘I was walking up the stairs the other day and I stopped; it was like all the air had been punched out of my lungs.’

However, on Sunday she made a splash in an eye-catchingly glamorous dress from the new Fall 2025 Marchesa collection as she made her way down the red carpet on the arm of Brody, 51.
