Cooper arrived on the Bafta TV 2019 red carpet wearing a bin bag dress, with a trash can lid as a hat. Bits of rubbish were attached to the trail of the dress, while a fake pigeon perched on the lid hat. Despite quite literally being a load of trash, the striking look firmly stole the show.

“It cost about five quid. Yeah, five quid and a load of rubbish,” she told a BBC journalist. “My mother made this dress with my two friends and it took them like three days.”

But there was an important message behind the decision to wear the 60-litre sacks. Cooper wanted to highlight food poverty in the UK and the difference people can make by donating to food banks.

“The reason I’m wearing this is because, if I wore a normal dress, that dress would cost a lot of money. So I thought I’d donate that money to my local foodbank and wear a bin bag instead.”
