Fresh from his box office success in the critically acclaimed Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, Hugh Grant enjoyed a night at the 2025 EE BAFTA Awards alongside his wife Anna Eberstein.
Hugh, 64, donned a smart tux and bow tie. Dapper as ever, the Notting Hill actor laced a protective arm around his wife Anna as they arrived at London's Royal Albert Hall.
The 42-year-old beauty opted for a 60s-inspired mini dress complete with a high neck, capped sleeves and a thigh-skimming hemline.
The black shift-style garment was adorned with glittering paillettes and perfectly paired with semi-sheer tights and black stilettos.
Swedish star Anna, a producer who previously worked for ESPN, wore her dark blonde hair pulled back from her face, cascading down her back in loose waves.

With gorgeous gowns, sharp suits, and jaw-dropping accessories from Bvlgari, the Official Jewellery and Watch Partner for the EE BAFTA Film Awards, the red carpet was as much the main event as the ceremony itself.

David Tennant is hosting this year's awards, which will see Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis receive the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship and feature a special performance from Take That.

Hugh is also a father to Tabitha and Felix whom he shares with his ex-partner Tinglan Hong.

He has previously discussed the challenges of parenting five young children — a journey he started in his early 50s.
"Well, we think it’s five," Hugh joked during a candid interview with The Telegraph when asked about the number of kids he has. "But I had them much too old in life. You know, I started when I was 52."

Reflecting on the chaos that comes with raising a young family, Hugh added: "I often look at the abbey that Maria lives in The Sound of Music and wish I lived there. I need a long stint in a sanatorium or an abbey."
