The gorgeous ensemble cinched in at her waist and boasted a complementary neck appendage, while she added a generous amount of height to her svelte frame with Louboutins.

The American film and TV star secured her ponytail with a black bow from Discover Night and she kept several strands loose around her face which created a tousled effect.

Meanwhile, Sex Education star Gillian was leather-clad in a multi-coloured dress, which featured overlaying segments in multiple hues.
