Zawe Ashton looks radiant in a pink silk gown at Annabel’s and The Caring Family Foundation’s International Women’s Day event

Zawe Ashton looked pretty pink as she attended Annabel and The Caring Family Foundation’s International Women’s Day 2024 event.

The Marvels actress, 39, looked fantastic as she wore a £595 Harrods Me+Em corsage silk maxi dress.

The garment is made of flowing and mesh-like silk and has a matching belt to accentuate the waist, as well as a detachable floral corsage for a vintage look.

She paired her gorgeous dress with a simple pair of black pointed-toe stilettos.

The Fresh Meat star, who welcomed a baby with fiancé Tom Hiddleston, 42, last October, let her incredibly long dark locks flow down her back and adorned with chunky gold rings.

Mia McKenna-Bruce also celebrated the special day and looked sensational in beige and black.

The Tracy Beaker Returns star, 26, wore a fabulous pair of black Reiss trousers with a beige stripe down the side, which he paired with a stylish black blouse.

She finished her look with an oversized white and beige sweater that she paired with a Vivienne Westwood brooch.

Antonia Thomas added a pop of color to the event as she stepped out in a retro yellow leather skirt.

Keeping her look fresh, the Misfits actress teamed her look with a white long-sleeved blouse and a pair of knee-high boots.

Don’t Touch My Hair author Emma Dabiri cut a sophisticated figure in a black two-piece suit.

The 44-year-old wore a double-breasted cropped jacket with a knee-length pencil.

She added some sparkle to an ensemble as she completed her chic look with a pair of chunky silver heels.

The event was set against the picturesque backdrop of The Garden and hosted a panel of speakers including Jo Ellison (editor of FT How to Spend It), Sultana Tafadar KC (Britain’s first hijab-wearing criminal lawyer) and Zawe Ashton (actress and playwright).

The discussion was moderated by TV host June Sarpong, who explored the topics of empowerment, diversity and the collective efforts needed to build a more inclusive society.

British soul-pop singer-songwriter Grace Carter ended the event on a high note with a special performance featuring her hits ‘Silence’, ‘Why Her Not Me’ and ‘Riot’.

This morning highlighted The Caring Family Foundation’s (TCFF) vital initiatives and demonstrated their commitment to empowering women and children affected by domestic abuse and violence.

TCFF focuses on equipping women with the tools and skills needed to live independent lives.

Since 2019, the foundation has supported more than 10,000 women and children in Britain and Brazil through 20,000 services.

The Caring Family Foundation will open a ground-breaking domestic abuse center in London in 2024.

The center will bring together leading experts to reduce barriers to access to work and independence, with real employment opportunities at the end of the Employability Readiness course.

Patricia Caring said: ‘Every International Women’s Day at Annabel’s we are reminded of the enduring strength and resilience of women around the world.

‘The Caring Family Foundation strives to create a world where women overcome adversity – by creating pathways for women to be the decision-makers of their own lives.

‘Today we explored ways to drive inclusion and tackle the challenges of exclusion, following on from the discussions from our IWD event last year, which focused on equality.

Despite the progress made, women still face significant barriers, especially those who have survived domestic violence.

‘At TCFF we are steadfast in our commitment to reducing these barriers through our work in the UK and Brazil.

“Thank you to our incredible panel for sharing their experiences and showing that by supporting each other we can all create positive change and elevate the voices of women.”
