Cate Blanchett and Rachel Zegler celebrated after both triumphed at the Standard Theatre Awards winners dinner at Claridges Hotel in London on Sunday.

Aussie actress Cate, 56, who took home Best Actress in A Play for The Seagull, was the epitome of chic in a black velvet sculpted bodice.

The look was completed with a figure-hugging pencil skirt and she added extra height to her frame with pointed heels.

Meanwhile Rachel, 24, who won Best Musical Performance for her lead role in Evita, sizzled in a daringly plunging lace gown. 

Her dress hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure and teased ample cleavage as she forwent jewellery letting the look speak or itself. 

Also in attendance was Hayley Atwell, who was honoured for her role in Much Ado About Nothing, as she made a rare public appearance with fiancé Ned Wolfgang Kelly.

The actress, 43, who welcomed her first child with the hunky artist in 2024, and is nominated for Best Actress in A Play, stunned in a striking silver gown.

Hayley’s look boasted a caped collar and floral embroidery which she teamed with diamond earrings and chic black heels.

Meanwhile Ned cut a cool figure in a black suit which he wore over a crisps white shirt with bolo tie. 

The couple – who were first linked in July 2022 – have kept their relationship away and from the public eye and are rarely pictured together.

Ned popped the question to Hayley in Venice in April 2023, before going on to welcome their first child a year later. 

Confirming their engagement last year, Ned wrote: ‘Lucky me. Arrived in Venice at 10am, around midday the love of my life and I got engaged in the kitchen of this strange apartment surrounded by ducks, with a bloke outside the window murdering “My Way” on the accordion.

‘A perfect start to the rest of our lives together. I’d never had any interest in getting married… until I met this extraordinary woman. Happy as a clam.’ 

While speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, Hayley described Ned’s low-key proposal, recalling: ‘My fiancé was in his pants in the kitchen, and there was an accordion playing outside our window — which was timed perfectly but not planned.

‘We had rented this Airbnb that had lots of shelves with porcelain ducks on them, so it was quite a surreal set-up.

‘I said to him, “Venice was my first most precious destination”, and I’ve always had a weird connection with it. So, he took me there, and it happened there.’

Hayley, was first linked to Ned  shortly after she was said to have split from co-star Tom Cruise for the second time.  

The London-based artist’s Instagram bio reads that he ‘doesn’t eat animals’ and that he has been ‘alcohol & drug free for over a decade’.

Speaking to The Sun when the couple first got together, an insider claimed: ‘Hayley’s happiness is written on her face right now.

‘They get on like a house on fire and make a very handsome couple.’

Ned’s website says he has produced commercial music for big brands such as Bud Light, Headspace and Samsung.

He has also scored films, worked on the design side of projects, and penned articles.
