Hannah Waddingham owned the red carpet in a black halter gown reportedly custom-made by Sophie Couture.

The gown featured a daringly deep plunging neckline, creating a cleavage-baring V that highlighted her décolletage and curves.

The glossy fabric clung to her body like second skin, sculpting her figure with a ruched, gathered detail at the waist, accentuating her hourglass shape before flowing down into a floor-grazing column silhouette with a train.

Another standout feature was the thigh-high center slit, revealing a generous flash of her thighs with every confident step. Towering on black heeled sandals, she completed the look with black dangling earrings, a silver bracelet, rings, and blonde waves framing her full glam.
