Stars Shine at Variety's Power of Women London Debut

A host of stars attended Variety's Power Of Women event for the first time in London on Wednesday night. Hannah Waddingham, Suki Waterhouse, and Emilia Clarke brought glamour to the red carpet at The Chancery Rosewood.

Hannah Waddingham's Bold Red Carpet Look

Ted Lasso star Hannah, 51, showcased her hourglass figure as she went braless in a plunging halterneck gown with a daring thigh-high split. The actress made her red carpet debut with hunky surgeon Nick Beresford-Cleary. Last month, Hannah revealed she is in her first relationship in eight years. She became a single mother after her relationship with Gianluca Cugnetto ended when their daughter was two. Since then, she has focused on her life with Kitty, now 11.

'It's taken me eight years,' Hannah admitted to Variety about entering a new relationship. 'I didn't really have the space mentally or emotionally for that. I've hunkered down and focused on my girl and me. [But] now I'm ready to stick my head above the parapet a bit more.'
