I would not have pegged this as Erdem. It's so... monochrome and dark. I guess the Erdem I'm picturing was its bananas florals from years ago. I'm glad she used a designer based in England; that's a nice touch. She was in The Picture of Dorian Gray and by all accounts was pretty magnetic. I assume Broadway can't be far behind.
Hannah Waddingham

Hannah hosted. This is good, but forgettable. She had set a high bar for herself, though.
Sophie Okonedo in Bottega Veneta

Sophie was nominated against Snook for being in Euripedes's Medea. She looks awesome in this -- it's VERY bold, in the best ways.
Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole won for being Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Truly, Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of her patron saints (he committed HARD to her as Christine in Phantom, also.) She looks glam but I find myself wishing this were a color. Any color.
Cara Delevingne in Gucci

It's good on her, but did it HAVE to look like its measurements were based around an apron?
Patricia Clarkson in Pamella Roland

Gorgeous, as always.
Marisha Wallace

She's in Guys and Dolls over there, so she performed. That dress is glorious.
Sheridan Smith
LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 14: Sheridan Smith attends The Olivier Awards 2024 at The Royal Albert Hall on April 14, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage)
Sheridan starred as Shirley Valentine -- she also lost to Snook -- and yet this production only ran from Feb to June 2023? I can't pretend to understand everyone's eligibility dates but it seems crackers. As is her outfit. I suspect this says, "I am not beating Shiv Roy! Might as well go ham!"
Ruth Jones

Ruth starred in Gavin & Stacey lo those many years ago. She's a novelist now! And she looks glam.
David and Georgia Tennant

David has tremendous taste in jackets, as demonstrated at the BAFTAs and again here. (He was nominated for being in The Scottish Play. He lost to Mark Gatiss, who played Sir John Gielgud in The Motive and the Cue.)
Madeleine Mantock

I don't LOVE these sheers but they aren't actively eating at me, either, which I suppose is a win.
Myles Frost

They brought MJ to the West End, and he's in it there right now. I assume it's eligible next season? He is looking snazzy.
Cedric Neal

What a delightful boutonniere.
Amy Trigg

She won for her supporting role in the musical The Little Big Things, and she looks LOVELY.
Anna Maxwell Martin

This looks disappointingly droopy.
Gina McKee

I love her with the gray hair. (She was nominated for being in the eventual Best Play winner, Dear England.)
James Norton

Dearest James Norton, those pants and those sleeves are as short as my fuse. ARGH. Love, Heather.
Caissie Levy

She was a nominee for Next to Normal. This dress is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure those colors are quite her best? Imagine it in pink.
Eleanor Worthington-Cox

Or in blue! These blues are very, very lively.
Anna Lundberg, Michael Sheen

He was there as a presenter, and his partner's dress says, "Michael is here as a presenter."
Tanya Reynolds

The cultural impact of Brenda and Kelly on 90210 is such that I cannot look at this without thinking that the designer of their spring dance dress has turned it into a career.
Beverley Knight

Ooh, this is fun. AND she can wrap herself up and sleep in it if the show is boring.
Andrew Scott

Bless his sequins.
Bonnie Langford

I saw her as Rumpleteazer in Cats. IN 1983. I am old! She looks great.
Celinde Schoenmaker

I am ... 92 percent sold on this and 8 percent annoyed by the seams on the bust being rounded like boobs.
Laura Donnelly
LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 14: Laura Donnelly attends The Olivier Awards 2024 at The Royal Albert Hall on April 14, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage)
She looks glitzy. I still remember her as Jenny in Outlander and I suspect she got out at the right time.
Seeta Patel

But THIS. This is a proper gown. Wow.
Tiler Peck

I am never mad at metallics. Well, usually not.
Michelle Visage

I am a LITTLE mad at this metallic. It started off so well! And then it's... tied up around her thighs so she can wear, what, black jeans? Leggings? Why not just make it a real shirt?!?
Georgina Onuorah

This is really good. Everything about it works.
