Sabrina Dhowre Elba nailed a simple yet glamorous look on Thursday night as she attended the British Film Institute’s Luminous Ball in London.

The 34-year-old wife of actor Idris attended the event with her mother Maryam Egal, while the pair looked stunning posing at The Londoner Hotel bash.

She radiated chic and wore a draped black maxi dress with a statement pearl choker for the evening.

The number featured a long sleeved design with ruffles as it fell to the floor – with a dropped neckline exposing a velvet bustier underneath.

Sabrina enhanced the look with a statement chunky pearl choker that covered her entire neck, and added a small dangling earring to finish it off.

The model and activist kept her ultra-dark locks swept back in a low bun while keeping all the focus on her ensemble.
