Sabrina Elba made a breathtaking entrance at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, radiating elegance on the red carpet at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. The 36-year-old Canadian model captivated onlookers in a stunning nude gown from the Guy Laroche FW02 collection, accessorising with exquisite Jessica McCormack jewellery and a pair of Jimmy Choo heels.
A Family Celebration of Success
Her glamorous appearance followed a significant milestone for her family. Just days before, her husband, actor Idris Elba, 53, was awarded a knighthood in the New Year's Honours list. Sir Idris was recognised for his campaigning work against knife crime through his Elba Hope Foundation. In accepting the honour, he dedicated it to the 'many young people' at his charity who inspire his efforts, emphasising the need for 'sustained, practical support' to steer youth away from violence.
