Zoë dazzles at the Olivier Awards, then wins Also Recognised Award!

11 April 2016 00:30

Zoë and her husband, Gawn Grainger, joined other special guests from the world of theatre on the red carpet for the Olivier Awards, held at London's Royal Opera House on 3 April. Wearing a beautiful Amanda Wakeley gown and Asprey jewellery, Zoë was photographed for ContactMusic.com, Zimbio, and Getty Images.

An amusing moment came during an interview Zoë gave on the red carpet, when her friend, Judi Dench, interrupted proceedings, joking 'Don't believe a word she says!' The moment was captured on camera and has been widely reported in the media.

Zoë provided the voiceover for the ceremony, now in its 40th year, and also appeared on stage. She and Rob Brydon presented the Best Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical Awards (won by David Bedella for In The Heights and Lara Pulver for Gypsy). Zoë, who has herself won two Oliviers (for Once in a Lifetime and Electra), was pictured with Brydon and the winners after the ceremony.

In a moving speech, Mark Gatiss, who won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Olivier for Three Days in the Country, thanked 'the great Gawn Grainger', who appeared alongside him in the play.

After the ceremony, Zoë and her All My Sons co-star, Jemima Rooper, were pictured looking very glamorous.

You can catch-up with highlights from the Oliviers on the ITV Hub.

Last week also saw Zoë win a theatre award. On 7 April, she won Best Solo Performance in My Theatre Mates' Also Recognised Awards, having received an impressive 30% of the public vote.

The award celebrates Zoë's powerful portrayal of a grief-stricken and guilt-ridden widow, Rosemary, in All On Her Own. The Terence Rattigan monologue wowed audiences alongside comedy Harlequinade at London's Garrick Theatre late last year.

Congratulations to Zoë on her very well deserved award!
