It was the party of all parties on Wednesday night when stars from across the film industry came together to celebrate the 2024 EE Rising Star Award nominees at the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party.
The star-studded event took place at the recently opened hotspot, Pavyllon within The Four Seasons Hotel at Park Lane, where guests celebrated the awards season in style ahead of the EE BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday 18th February.
Among those in attendance included two of this year's EE Rising Star nominees Mia McKenna-Bruce and Sophie Wilde, alongside Micheal Ward, Big Zuu, Paloma Faith, Kaya Scodelario and The Crown's Ed McVey. Take a look at some of the photos from the night….
Sophie Wilde
Sophie, who is famed for starring in Talk To Me, looked nothing short of sensational in a chic oversized blazer and flared trousers combo, which she styled further with leather boots and sunglasses.
The actress is among this year's nominees, which also includes Fairplay's Phoebe Dynevor, Bottoms star Ayo Edebiri and Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi. The EE Rising Star Award celebrates new and emerging talent within the film industry who have captured the imagination of both the public and film industry alike.

A source told HELLO!: "It was sweet to see Vernon keep a watchful eye over his daughter. They seemed happy as they mingled with fellow guests. They spent the night chatting with new dad Joel Dommett and a glowing Emily Attack as well as Matt and Emma Willis. At one point, Matt even took pictures of the pair in front of the iconic BAFTA statue."
Katherine Ryan
The TV star looked sensational in a black, floor-length gown with abstract low-cut detailing, adding dimension and style to the overall ensemble. Katherine, 40, accessorised with a cute, bronze handbag, open toe heeled sandals and sparkling jewellery. She polished off the look with her blonde locks styled in a razor-sharp bob.
"We hardly ever get to go out," Katherine told HELLO!, before stating she had "so much fun" at the BAFTA pre-awards ceremony parties in previous years. "My daughter was the one who encouraged me to come out tonight in the hopes of spotting Jacob Elordi - where is he? We never go out, but we had to make a trip for this occasion. We're really enjoying ourselves, it's always such a good night."
