Hugh Jackman has made a rare red carpet appearance following his shock split from Deborra-lee Furness in September 2023.

The couple parted ways after 27 years of marriage, saying in a joint statement to People magazine, "We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.

"Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

Jackman wore a light grey turtleneck sweater and matching jacket for the event, pairing them with slate grey trousers, cream sneakers and a bold pair of glasses.

He was also sporting his iconic Wolverine mutton chops, likely owing to his recent work as the Marvel character in the latest installment of the Deadpool franchise with Ryan Reynolds.

Lily Allen and David Harbour

Stranger Things star David Harbour also made an appearance with wife Lily Allen, despite recent rumours of a rift in their relationship.

The singer and actor wed in Las Vegas in 2020, but speculation about the state of their marriage began in 2023 when Allen seemed to unfollow her husband on social media.

But the duo looked loved-up in coordinated black outfits on the red carpet and Harbour recently addressed the state of their romance.

"Ultimately, it's very good because you get to know someone. We have these two kids, and it's so great," Harbour told People in November, referring to his two stepchildren with Allen.

"We get to raise them and stuff, and as our marriage continues, we grow closer and closer."

He went on to joke Allen prefers it when he's working on a film or TV project because it gives them space.

"Let me tell you, my wife likes when I go to work because it's nice for her to have her life and me to have my life and for us not to just annoy each other by being around all the time," he said.

James McAvoy attended with wife Lisa Liberati, whom he married in secret back in 2019, three years after his divorce from actress Anne-Marie Duff.

The couple met on the set of the M Night Shyamalan movie Split, where McAvoy was the leading man and Liberati was a production assistant.

McAvoy kept his outfit casual for the premiere while wife Liberati donned a gothic-inspired, layered black and white ensemble with shiny black combat boots.

He recently made the move from acting in front of the camera to directing, announcing his plans to direct a biopic about a pair of Scottish fraudsters.

"Working mums get such a bad… we get all freaked out because we're told constantly, 'You have 18 summers', 'You have this much time', 'Time is fleeting', and it makes you panic," she said in an October Access Hollywood interview.

"My mum has always said to me 'You're their mum forever. Don't worry, you can do your job. You're their mum forever. I wish I had worked, I would have been a better mum. Your kids are going to be so proud of you.'"
