With her dark hair pinned up off of her face, the Immortals star showcased her striking features with a minimal pallet of make-up; complementing her dress by adding a flash of pink lipstick.
Dev meanwhile looked the picture of a dapper young gent in his navy two-piece suit, which he paired with a maroon shirt.
With his hair slicked back, the British star added a trendy dash of machismo to his look for the charity's dinner with some slightly unkempt facial hair.

The former couple attended the event as Pratham's mission of ending the cycle of poverty by improving the education and literacy rates of children in India is very close to both of their hearts - and was also highlighted by Boyle's film.
And while other star's might have found it awkward sharing the stage with an ex, Dev and Freida faced no such problem as they have remained close since splitting in December 2014.
Talking to USA Today in April about their break-up and post-split bond, Freida said: 'Everybody has their own little discoveries to make. Their own surprises, their own disappointments, and they’re all part and parcel of life.
'There is no way one person can sit down and go, "But why did this happen to me?" Or, "It was all going well, what the hell happened?" Or, "No, this just can’t be," the denial of it'
She added, 'Running away from it is not going to help you find your answers. So we’re facing it. And we’re dealing. And Dev and I are best friends. That’s never going to change.'
