Dolph wore a crisp pale-blue button-down shirt with a classic navy blazer featuring gold buttons and a patterned pocket square for the event. He kept the look relaxed yet elegant with light beige trousers and black slip-on sneakers. Emma Krokdal stunned in a soft rose-gold cocktail dress with a subtle jacquard pattern and beautifully draped detailing across the bodice.

His dedication hasn’t slowed down since his breakout role as the formidable Ivan Drago.
Before the awards presentation, Dolph shared a playful moment with director Spike Lee on the red carpet, raising his fists in a friendly mock-fight pose that brought fans back to his heavyweight Rocky days. Dolph’s award comes just as the iconic movie Rocky celebrates its 40-year anniversary.

"Exactly 40 years ago today, on November 21st 1985, this film had its world premiere and nothing was ever the same for the 28 year old playing Balboa’s Russian opponent," he shared. "Forever grateful to Sly and the Rocky fans worldwide!"
Adding another string to his bow, the action movie star is also the brains behind premium brand Hard Cut Vodka, putting his degree in chemical engineering to good use to create the spirit.
The star shows no signs of slowing down either, also sharing a video of himself working out at his hotel in Italy. "Anything is better than nothing when it comes to staying in shape. Especially when travelling," he captioned his workout video.
