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

Zawe Ashton looked pretty in pink while attending Annabel and The Caring Family Foundation’s 2024 International Women’s Day celebration.

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

The garment was made from flowy silk and chiffon and featured a matching belt to cinched the waist, as well as a detachable floral bouquet for a vintage look.

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

The Fresh Meat star, who welcomed a baby boy with fiancé Tom Hiddleston, 42, last October, let her incredibly long, dark tresses flow down her back and accessorized 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 pair of fabulous black Reiss pants with a beige stripe down the side which she paired with a sleek black blouse.

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

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

Keeping her look fresh, the Misfits actress paired it 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 was wearing a short double-breasted jacket and a knee-length pencil skirt.

She added some sparkle to the ensemble and completed her chic look with a pair of chunky silver heels.

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

Leading the discussion was television presenter June Sarpong, who explored the themes of empowerment, diversity and the collaborative efforts needed to build a more inclusive society.

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

The morning highlighted the vital initiatives of The Caring Family Foundation (TCFF) and showcased its commitment to empowering women and children affected by abuse and domestic violence.

TCFF focuses on equipping women with the tools and skills necessary to lead independent lives.

Since 2019, the foundation has supported over 10,000 women across 20,000 services and children across the UK and Brazil.

The Caring Family Foundation will open a pioneering domestic abuse center in London in 2024.

The center will bring together leading experts to reduce barriers to employment and independence, with real job opportunities upon completion of the Employability Readiness course.

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

‘The Caring Family Foundation strives to create a world where women triumph over adversity, by creating pathways for women to make decisions in their own lives.

‘Today we explore ways to inspire inclusion and address the challenges of exclusion, echoing the discussions from our International Water Day event last year, which focused on equity.

Despite the progress made, women continue to face significant obstacles, particularly survivors of domestic abuse.

‘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 us that by supporting each other, we can all inspire positive change and elevate women’s voices.”
