The star-studded Glamour EE Rising Star Party took place in London on Wednesday night, with some of the hottest talent from across film, television, music and culture in attendance.
The likes of actor David Harewood (The Night Manager), Amy-Beth McNulty (Stranger Things), presenters Laura Whitmore, Jamie Laing and Sophie Haboo turned out in their finery to support this year's EE Rising Star Award nominees.
Three of the 2026 nominees were in attendance at the event: Robert Aramayo (I Swear), Archie Madekwe (Lurker) and Posy Sterling (Lollipop).
The other two nominees are: Miles Caton (Sinners) and Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another).
The party was held at La Môme, the French Riviera-inspired restaurant at the iconic Berkeley Hotel, where guests were treated to a selection of delicious canapés, including sole goujons and barbecue chicken lollipops, as well as Taittinger Champagne and bespoke cocktails inspired by each film the actors are nominated for.
One of the cocktails, I Swear by a Paloma, was inspired by Robert Aramayo's performance in I Swear, while One Spritz After Another was a nod to Chase Infiniti's turn in One Battle After Another.
HELLO! was in attendance at the star-studded bash, which comes just over a week before the EE BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday 22 February, during which the winner will be revealed.
HELLO!'s Features Editor Miranda Thompson said of the event: "It felt like such a brilliant way to kick off the run up to the BAFTAs - everyone looked gorgeous and was in high spirits."
