During an evening put on predominantly to celebrate those actors and actresses who have taken to the stage this year, The Evening Standard Theatre Awards welcomed a number of A-List celebrities whose style choices were almost impossible to ignore.

Leading the pack in typical fashion was X-Files star Gillian Anderson, who won best actress last year for A Streetcar Named Desire and presented the best actor award to James McAvoy last night.

ES Theatre Awards - best dressed

In a perfectly-fitting coral red knee-length dress with a low-cut neckline and simple straps, Anderson’s figure was highlighted and flattered thanks to the look’s simplicity. Accessorising with a metallic gold clutch and matching sandals gave the classic look a more modern edge.

Another actress pulling out all the stops for the occasion was Best Actress award winner Nicole Kidman.

In an Alexander McQueen silk and lace gown with dove embroidery from the brand’s 2016 spring/summer offering, Kidman’s timeless taste and statuesque figure were on full display. Making the most of the dress’s high impact high-neck design, the actress wore her hair up with a few loose tendrils to soften the look.

One guest taking a slightly more androgynous approach to the evening’s style was British film, television and theatre actress and former fashion model Gemma Chan.

In a stark white, flared jumpsuit that subtly pinched in her waist, Chan’s effortless look was off-set by her pointed court shoes and perfectly styled hair.
