    Her fellow nominee Joanne, who was up against Dame Maggie Smith in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series award, opted for a chic strapless gown for the occasion, highlighting her slim figure with a cinched in corset waist.
    She accessorised her outfit by leaving her blonde hair in loose waves around her shoulders, and carried a sparkling clutch bag to match her heels.
    But the actress' best accessory of all was her much taller fiancé James Cannon, who looked dapper in a black tuxedo.
