The recent BAFTAs put the spotlight on a creative agency from Cwmbran who played a part in one of the spectacular red carpet outfits.
Cynthia Langeveldt runs Jera Creative Agency and one of her clients is Vietnam-based designer Tran Hung.
One of her roles is sending out outfits made by the company to celebrities. As she watched the BAFTA Awards on Sunday 6 June the presenter AJ Odudu appeared on screen to interview stars on the red carpet and she was wearing a Tran Hung outfit.
Cynthia said: “We didn’t know. I was sitting in my living room screaming with excitement saying, ‘that dress she’s wearing came from Cwmbran.'”
More money for less work 💸 That’s what @robbeckettcomic is hoping for as he and @RomeshRanga grace the red carpet with a few pieces of constructive criticism… #VirginMediaBAFTAs #BAFTATV pic.twitter.com/wZr915ELx5

The agency owner said she takes the outfits to the post office in town centre’s WH Smith shop to be packed up and sent out to celebrities.
Her work at getting the outfits seen by so many people led to the Tran Hung Instagram account going from 63,000 followers to 498,000.
She said: “They send me clothes. I then manage it from here. All the stylists contact us worldwide. We email them or call on WhatsApp and give details.
Join us tomorrow from 1pm on BAFTA Facebook for #VirginMediaBAFTAs: Back to the Red Carpet! @tomallencomedy and @AJOdudu will be catching up with a host of stars. Don’t miss it!
