Waddingham’s ensemble was formally accented with a diamond bracelet, climber earrings and layered rings. A set of pointed-toe champagne pumps coated in sparkling crystals glamorously finished the “Ted Lasso” star’s attire.

During the ceremony, Waddingham changed into a dramatic emerald green satin gown while performing an opening musical number with West End Musicals, which you can view on YouTube. The floor-length piece featured a sleeveless bodice with a deep neckline, covered in swirling green sequined embellishments that dotted her skirt. A diamond bracelet, silver filigree huggie earrings and sculptural diamond ring finished her outfit with a dash of sparkle.
