Hannah Waddingham eloquently shut down sexist commentary at the Olivier Awards, garnering widespread praise for her assertiveness and serving as a role model against misogyny. The Game of Thrones star hosted the theater awards on Sunday (April 14) at the Royal Albert Hall in London, UK, and reportedly captivated the crowd with her trademark poise and clever humor.
But before kicking off the ceremony, which recognizes excellence in professional theater in London, the 49-year-old actress elegantly posed for photographs outside the venue, gracing the red carpet (in this case the gray steps) in a semi-sheer lilac one-shoulder long gown.
Hannah’s dress turned out to be too long for one of the photographers’ taste, as a clip of the event showed them yelling out that she should “show some leg,” a comment which instantly took the entertainment performer’s smile out.
