The Ted Lasso star's show, Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas, was nominated for the best entertainment gong at the Bafta Television Awards held in London on Sunday.
While Strictly Come Dancing took home the prize, Waddingham could be seen celebrating her loss in the best way after the camera panned briefly to her following the announcement.
The actress could be seen grinning at the camera before she raised her bracelet, which doubled as a small flask, to her lips and took a swig, raising it again to the lens in a "cheers".
Bafta viewers took to social media to say the actress was "just amazing" for her flask-bracelet accessory.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Hannah Waddingham drinking out her bracelet. ICON."
Another wrote: "Legend that Hannah Waddingham is, drinking out of her bracelet."
"Hannah Waddingham's reaction to losing to Strictly was just amazing," a third said.
"Hannah Waddingham how I love you," another chimed in.
While Waddingham lost out to Strictly, the star got her moment later on in the ceremony when the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 won the award for live event coverage.
The star, who was hailed as a national treasure when she co-hosted last year's competition in Liverpool, took to the stage with other members of the crew to accept the accolade.
