A host of Hollywood names, including Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Joaquin Phoenix, joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the red carpet, for the 73rd EE British Academy Film Awards.

Stars of film and television flocked to the UK capital for the 2020 Baftas, which took place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, February 2.

Each year, the Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge are two of the biggest names on the Bafta red carpet. Prince William has been president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since February 2010.

For the ceremony, the duchess wore a white and gold Alexander McQueen gown that she first wore at a state dinner in Malaysia during the couple's 2012 Jubilee Tour.

Sustainable fashion at the Baftas 

In 2020, we have seen stars take a slightly different approach to style on the Bafta red carpet.

In a bid to encourage a greener, more environmentally conscious ceremony this year, the Baftas have asked attendees to consider rewearing an outfit they already own to the ceremony.

Alternatively, the academy has asked guests to choose a design from an ethical label that has been crafted in an eco-friendly manner, or to simply rent a gown for the night.

"Sustainability is very important to Bafta, and we're doing more than ever before," a Bafta spokesperson told Harper's Bazaar UK.

"The goal is that the EE British Academy Film Awards 2020 will be carbon neutral, working towards having a net positive impact on the environment. From travel and food, to branding and materials, Bafta is ensuring the awards are as sustainable as possible."

How much of your income do you need to save?

The more you save, the sooner you can retire. Tuan Phan, a board member of SimplyFI.com, says if you save just 5 per cent of your salary, you can expect to work for another 66 years before you are able to retire without too large a drop in income.

In other words, you will not save enough to retire comfortably. If you save 15 per cent, you can forward to another 43 working years. Up that to 40 per cent of your income, and your remaining working life drops to just 22 years. (see table)

Obviously, this is only a rough guide. How much you save will depend on variables, not least your salary and how much you already have in your pension pot. But it shows what you need to do to achieve financial independence.

Water waste

In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.

Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.

A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.

The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.
