Paloma Faith has once again caused a stir with her bold fashion choices, but this time it was her bizarre hat that stole the spotlight! At the 2026 BAFTA TV Awards, the 44-year-old singer turned heads in a massive bicorne hat—yes, that Napoleon-style headwear—while attending with fellow Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr.
While Paloma owned the red carpet with her eccentric look, the real drama unfolded when she refused to take off the hat after sitting down. Viewers were left in disbelief, furious that those sitting behind her could barely see the stage.
“Sorry for whoever’s sitting behind Paloma and that hat,” one fan tweeted. “I’d be p**d if I was sat behind her in that hat!” Others shared similar frustrations, with some even calling her choice “inconsiderate” and “entitled.” 
But the show went on! Later in the evening, Alan Carr, while accepting the Most Memorable Moment BAFTA, dedicated the award to Paloma with a cheeky tribute: “There’s no one else I would rather murder than you,” he joked, referencing his role in Celebrity Traitors.
Whether you love or hate her fashion statement, Paloma is certainly unforgettable—just not always for the right reasons.
