The Olivier Awards were held last night in London. The Oliviers are sort of like the British version of the Tonys, I’m pretty sure. As in, the Oliviers are the most prestigious theater awards in the UK. I could be wrong, but it feels like the Oliviers are a pretty big deal. Anyway, a lot of people came out but I know that most of you will be who-ing the crap out this post if I include a ton of British stage actors.
So here are Rose Leslie and Kit Harington! Kit is most famous for being a sad-faced King of the North on Game of Thrones, but he spent his GoT hiatus on stage in London. It’s nice that Kit and Rose are still together – they’ve been on-and-off in the past, but it feels like they’ve been solidly together now for several years. Rose wore a bright red Dior gown which looks like intricate lingerie. It’s not bad though – I actually like this look a lot and I think they’re completely adorable/lovely together.
Ruth Wilson also wore Dior and I guess Dior is just making a lot of flimsy, see-through dresses these days. Ruth has lovely legs but I wish we didn’t see all of them.
Ophelia Lovibond wore Jenny Packham. This dress is so bad. Ugh.
Hey John Boyega! You look handsome.
Here’s James Norton. Some believe he could be a contender for James Bond, but I don’t really see it. He’s handsome, for sure, but he doesn’t really have that burning sex appeal.

I loved the character Rose Leslie played in GoT, and was sad when she was killed off. Happy the relationship continues off camera. James Norton is excellent as a twisted psychopath on Happy Valley (Netflix, highly recommend), which makes it hard for me to imagine him as Bond.
You know nothing, Jon Snow. She was great as Ygritte. And fun as Gwen on Downton Abby
Anyone watching The Good Fight?
Pia@ I do! It’s great.
Me three! She’s very good there as well.
yeah so you can see the dior underwear under the sheer red….kinda try-hard for my taste.
no, Dior. No.
I do not want to see your label on people’s underwear, or on straps meant to keep the dress on the hanger.
stop. just stop it.
Yeah, WTF is that f***ery?! Elegant dresses and boxers sticking out of gym shorts are looks that should never, ever be crossed.
All these people are either yikes or blah in the face to me save for my FAVE John Boyega. The red dress Rosie is wearing is so basic and does something weird to her posture for me in that first pic, and I think it’s because the straps make it look tacky.
Jon Snow knows nothing but Kit knows some things, I guess. Rose is lovely, I love her hair and I’m sure I’d love the dress if it wasn’t see-through. Also, I saw some episodes of Grantchester and actually thought James Washington pretty hot in it…? Huh.
James Norton is one of those actors who works better in motion I think. I never got it until I saw him dancing in an adaptation of War and Peace and it clicked then.
I loved their relationship on GoT so I’m always so happy to see them together in real life. Rose has the most beautiful red hair.
I think Rose Leslie is so pretty! I can not stand Kit & his pouty about to cry face…ick.
Ruth Wilson is a great actress but she looks like duck, I find it distracting to watch her.
I always think she looks like Lisa Simpson.
That dress is so popular with celebrities, Rose is the third or fourth woman wearing that dress on the red carpet.
I don’t care how trendy my stylist would say see-through sheer dresses are (especially with that underwear-GAG!), I could not go out in public like that. A magazine shoot, okay, that’s artistic. But you wouldn’t catch me dead going out in public like that. You know Kit was a nice guy and was like, “Sure, you look nice honey…” but secretly hoping this tacky phase is over with soon lmao. That dress would have been perfect if there were some way to fix the revealing part, jeez.
Love these two. So freakin adorable.
I think Rose makes him so much more likeable. He doesn’t look like someone kicked his puppy when he’s with her.
I will never get over his ‘don’t call me a hunk oh my god it’s so demeaning and hard to be an attractive white man in Hollywood I have to take my shirt off sometimes’ meltdown. It’s become a running joke between my husband and I. Whenever I compliment him he tells me not to demean him, he’s not a hunk and I have no right. It’s pretty funny (to us, anyway).
The men all look well dressed in these pictures, but all the women’s dresses are ghastly. The see through legs look silly in a gown, IMO. I love Rose and love updates.
