Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett and Paddington walk Oliviers red carpet
Marmalade enthusiast Paddington was among the stars walking the red carpet ahead of the ceremony
Cate Blanchett, Rachel Zegler and Paddington Bear were among the stars walking the red carpet at this year's Olivier Awards, which celebrate the best of British theatre.
Bryan Cranston, Rosamund Pike and Tom Hiddleston also posed for pictures at London's Royal Albert Hall ahead of the ceremony, which was hosted by Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed.
Instead of a red carpet, the Oliviers have opted since 2022 for a green carpet made from sustainable materials, as part of the event's wider environmental efforts.
(However, we still refer to it as a "red carpet" for the purposes of search traffic, which we hope you'll forgive.)
Here are some of the stage stars who attended Sunday's event.
