It is the biggest night of the year in British theatre, with Gillian Anderson, Sir Ian McKellen and Sophie Okonedo all in the running to scoop an award.
And Katharine McPhee led the glamour as she joined Gillian and a host of stars at the Olivier Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday night.
The Waitress actress, 35, ensured all eyes were on her as she strutted down the red carpet in a strapless scarlet chiffon gown with lace inserts, while Gillian, 50, who was nominated for Best Actress for All About Eve, cut a sophisticated figure in a black semi-sheer dress.
Katharine teased a hint of cleavage in the Bardot dress, which hugged her slender frame before falling out into a pleated skirt.
Pulling out all the stops, the American Idol runner-up paired the stunning gown with a statement ring, silver cascading earrings and a bold red lip.
Gillian looked equally as glamorous as she slipped into the black striped dress, which showcased her incredible figure thanks to its sheer cobweb lace detailing.
Feminine: Delicate floral lace inserts under the bust highlighted Katharine's taut midriff, while rope links and textured detailing added drama
Timeless beauty: The X Files star styled her hair in a voluminous chignon and highlighted her radiant complexion with a pink palette of make-up
The stage star accessorised the look with a red velvet clutch bag and hoop diamond earrings.
Meanwhile, former Strictly star Joanne Clifton, 35, exuded glamour in a plunging glittery ice blue gown as she hit the red carpet with her brother Kevin.
Joanne, who is currently starring in the Rocky Horror Show with Blue's Duncan James, flashed plenty of leg in the floor-length gown, which featured a wrap over skirt and deep v neckline.
Sparkly: The retired ballet dancer, 49, complemented the glamorous dress with diamond hoop earrings and gold heels
The 2016 Strictly series winner dazzled as she strutted down the red carpet, teaming the glittery dress with sparkly silver Louboutin stilettos.
She styled her blonde locks in Hollywood curls and finished off her show-stopping ensemble with a polished make-up look.
Kevin, 36, was also dressed to impress for the occasion. Looking dapper in a black tailored suit, the current Strictly king beamed with pride as he posed with Joanne on the red carpet.
Suave: Tom Hiddleston looked devilishly handsome as he hit the red carpet in a navy suit with silk lapels and black bow tie

Musicals Come From Away and Company lead this year's race for recognition with nine nominations apiece.
Come From Away, about the Newfoundland town of Gander that hosted thousands of travelers stranded by canceled flights after the 9/11 attacks, is up for best new musical at Britain's equivalent of Broadway's Tony Awards.
A gender-switched production of Stephen Sondheim's Company is nominated in categories including best musical revival.
The epic gay-history drama The Inheritance has eight nominations, including best new play, best actor for Kyle Soller and best supporting actress for Vanessa Redgrave.
A revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I starring Kelli O'Hara and Ken Watanabe, which began life at New York's Lincoln Center, has six nominations.
Other acting contenders include Ian McKellen for King Lear; Gillian Anderson for All About Eve; and Sophie Okonedo for Antony and Cleopatra.
Named for the late British actor Laurence Olivier, the prizes honor achievements in London theater, musicals, dance and opera. Winners in most categories are chosen by a panel of stage professionals and theatergoers.
This year's show will also salute long-running musicals The Lion King and Mamma Mia, each celebrating 20 years in London's West End.
Matthew Bourne - the choreographer behind an iconic production of Swan Lake - is set to receive a lifetime achievement honor, presented by Prince Charles' wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
