The two looked to be in particularly good spirits and at one point, Emma snuggled into Greg’s chest as the two shared laughs. They weren’t the only couple in a good mood as Bafta-nominated actor Stephen, who plays Matilda’s father Mr Wormwood, couldn’t help but show affection for his wife Hannah Walters as he was snapped planting a kiss on her cheek. When he wasn’t putting on all the PDA, Stephen was hanging out with his co-star Alisha Weir who plays the titular brain box. Now free from Downing Street scandals, former Chancellor Rishi Sunak unbuttoned his collar and enjoyed a carefree night on the red carpet with his daughter Anoushka. Meanwhile, No Time To Die star Lashana Lynch, who plays Ms Honey in the film, stood out in a striking multicoloured dress.
