Stunning couple: Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe put on an effortless sartorial display at the EE British Film Academy Film Awards on Sunday evening
His wife looked simply stunning in floaty grey grown which featured flora lace detail and a feathered collar.
She completed her look with a small gold clutch and wore her locks in a simple updo, while her natural beauty was complimented with barely-there make-up.
Eddie, the favourite to win Leading Actor, appeared to be in his element as he signed autographs for waiting fans, while Professor Stephen Hawking arrived to show his support.
After seeing Steven’s attire, Eddie joked: ‘I noticed that Stephen's here and we are both wearing velvet, we didn't plan this!’.

Speaking to the press at the event, Eddie admitted he was not thinking too much about whether he would walk away with a gong or not, saying: ‘I try not to think about it too much.
‘This film was such a high stakes game, we care so much about what the Hawkings though so frankly everything has been a gift
He added: ‘I've been coming to the BAFTAs a couple of times and it is a real special evening and we actually shot some scenes at the Royal Opera House so it feels like we’ve come round full circle being here tonight.
As for how he has handled his continued rise in fame, he revealed: ‘I don't think life has changed dramatically, it's all so wonderful and glamorous but it's a lot of smoke and mirrors.’
The ceremony is the biggest night for British film in the showbiz calendar, awarding gongs across 24 categories.

Shown exclusively on BBC One and BBC HD from 9pm, the show will be opened by long-running host Stephen Fry, who has presented the show for the last ten years.
The newly married television personality was joined by actor Sam Claflin a week earlier to disclose the nominations to the public.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is expected to be the big winner, with 11 nominations in total.
Julianne Moore is the favourite to win for her role in (Still Alice).
Reese Witherspoon (Wild) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Amy Adams (Big Eyes) have all received nominations, along with Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), and will go against each other in the fight to win this year's Leading Actress gong.
The Theory Of Everything, has done well in the early stages of awards season, getting nominated across the board for various awards ceremonies, and it has received nine BAFTA nods in total: as well as Leading Actor, it's up for Best Film, Outstanding British Film and Director for James Marsh.
Showing his support: Stephen Hawking arrived to show his support to Eddie Redmayne for his role in biopic The Theory Of Everything
The British-made film, based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by his wife Jane Wilde Hawking, tells the story of the acclaimed physicist battling with motor neuron disease, their relationship and his ascent in the world of science.
And, although he is going up against his best friend Benedict Cumberbatch in the strong category, Eddie has insisted there is no rivalry between them.
'There is none. He's an old friend. We've known each other for about 10 years now. He is the most magnificent actor. I've seen Imitation Game and he is brilliant in it,' he said of his BAFTA nomination.
In fact, the two leading men both have front-row seats at the event, suggesting it is too close to call.
Historical thriller The Imitation Game has a commendable nine nominations, and is centred around British pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing, and tells the story of his life and work in cracking Nazi Germany's Enigma Code in 1939.
As well as Benedict Cumberbatch's Leading Actor and Keira Knightley's Supporting Actress nominations, it's also up for the prestigious Best Film, Outstanding British Film and Adapted Screenplay.
The film with the biggest haul, though, is Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, which has earned itself 11 nominations, including Best Film, Leading Actor (Ralph Fiennes) and Director.
A stylised comedy film, based on the written work of Stefan Zweig, it focuses on a fancy hotel's concierge teaming up with a colleague to prove he is not guilty of committing a murder.
Ralph has commented on the BAFTA accolade, adding that is is 'delighted'.
'Dom Perignon all around for guests and staff at The Grand Budapest Hotel. And a free sample of Eau de Panache too, darling,' he joked.
Birdman has also performed well in the run-up to the awards ceremony, taking 10 nominations at the BAFTAs, including Best Film, Leading Actor (Michael Keaton) and Supporting Actress (Emma Stone).
Indeed, it is Hollywood star Emma Stone's first BAFTA nomination since her Rising Star nod back in 2011, and she'll go head-to-head in the strong Supporting Actress category with Imelda Staunton (Pride), Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game), Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) and Rene Russo (Nightcrawler).
Black comedy Birdman has hugely impressed critics and audiences the world over, and tells the story of a washed-up Hollywood actor - famous for playing a superhero - trying to reignite his career on Broadway.
Also getting a veritable litany of awards is Boyhood, with five nominations.
His story: After seeing Steven’s attire, Eddie joked: ‘I noticed that Stephen's here and we are both wearing velvet, we didn't plan this!’
These include Best Film, Director for Richard Linklater and Cathleen Sutherland and Original Screenplay as well as Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress nominations for Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette respectively.
The lauded film was a long time in the making, being shot over a 12-year period and following a young boy and his sister growing up from children into adulthood.
Making up the list of potential Supporting Actor winners are Edward Norton (Birdman), Ethan Hawke (Boyhood), JK Simmons (Whiplash), Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carrell (both for Foxcatcher).
Earlier in the week, the nominations for the EE Rising Star Award were unveiled, revealing them to be Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Shailene Woodley, Jack O'Connell, Margot Robbie and Miles Teller. The victor of this prestigious accolade will be voted for by the public.
Veteran director Mike Leigh is to be recognised by the British Academy despite his latest film, artist biopic Mr Turner, failing to secure any major-category nominations at this year’s prestigious awards.
Awarded annually, the Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, television or games.
Fellows previously honoured for their work in film include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Lee, Martin Scorsese and Alan Parker. Helen Mirren received the Fellowship at last year’s Film Awards.
Mike Leigh said: 'What a privilege to be honoured with the BAFTA Fellowship. I'm moved, delighted and surprised.
