International stars of theatre, film and fashion were out in their best on Sunday night to celebrate the Evening Standard Theatre Awards.

It was an evening co-hosted by Idris Elba, Claire Foy, Evgeny Lebedev and Anna Wintour, with Killing Eve writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge acting as presenter. Guests included Rita Ora - who made a dramatic entrance in pale pink feathers - Suki Waterhouse, Cressida Bonas and Joely Richardson.

Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo walked away with the top prizes of best actor and actress for their roles in The National Theatre's Antony and Cleopatra, while fashion designer Stella McCartney awarded Best Design to Miriam Buether for The Jungle.

After the awards - which took place at a lavishly decorated Theatre Royal on Drury Lane - guests let their hair down at the After Party, catching up over cocktails and champagne. Idris Elba was there with his fiancee Sabrina Dhowre, who had joined him on the red carpet earlier that night with Elba's daughter, rising star and new Golden Globe Ambassador Isan Elba.
