Hannah Waddingham oozes high fashion in statement shades and a feathered skirt as she arrives at the  Akris Paris Fashion Week Show

Hannah Waddingham made a statement as she arrived at the Akris Womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Sunday.

The British actress, 52, ensured all eyes were on her in a dramatic caped look with a feathered skirt, teamed with a pair of elegant court shoes.

Hannah, who wore her platinum blonde locks in a voluminous quiff, accessorised with oversized sunglasses and a pair of gold hoop earrings. 

Inside the event, Hannah caught up with fashion week regular Coco Rocha, who stood out from the crowd in a striking gold co-ord.

The Akris collection continues designer Albert Kriemler's focus on refined tailoring, luxurious fabrics and understated elegance, balancing sculptural silhouettes with fluid, wearable pieces.

Hannah's appearance at the show comes days after a video of her tending to Tom Cruise's hair at the Digger premiere went viral, after fans joked she was treating the Hollywood megastar 'as if he's Ted Lasso'. 

Hannah gained stardom playing Rebecca Welton in the Apple TV+ series, the no-nonsense owner of AFC Richmond who develops an unexpected soft spot for wholesome football coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis).

And fans were left in hysterics at a video of Hannah greeting Tom on the red carpet after she strode over to him and immediately started fixing his hair, just as Rebecca would do to Ted.

Tom, 64, had dyed his brunette locks a vibrant red for the occasion and looked perplexed as Hannah, 52, set about styling him. 

The acclaimed actress was among a string of names supporting Tom at the premiere of his daring new film, which sees him wear a bodysuit and prosthetics to age him for his role as an oil tycoon and billionaire who sets off a global ecological crisis.

She seemed in good spirits at the premiere regardless of her recent career setback. 

Despite her Prime Video comedy Ride Or Die earning rave reviews from critics, on Monday it was announced that the show had been cancelled.

Globally, the show was the number one most watched Prime Video original series for its first three weeks, whilst it holds a 96 per cent score with critics on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes and 85 per cent with audiences.

All of that wasn't enough to satisfy Prime executives though, as Deadline report that Paramount Television Studios, the lead studio behind the comedy, is now shopping the series to other buyers.

The report says reasons for the cancellation are 'murky but the show’s focus on middle-aged women may have been a factor'.

Deadline's editor-in-chief Nellie Andreeva adds: 'I hear that that demographic is not very desirable for Amazon executives as a lot of middle-aged women already have Amazon Prime for shopping, so a show targeting them would not bring new subscribers.'

Furious fans flooded social media as they begged other streamers to pick up the show, whilst comedian and writer Katy Brand has admitted she isn't 'surprised' by the decision.

Katy, 47, is well versed in penning scripts for the middle-aged woman demographic, having written the screenplays for Netflix's adaptation of the elderly amateur sleuth comedy The Thursday Murder Club and Emma Thompson's 2022 movie Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.

Posting on Instagram, Katy penned: 'it doesn't surprise me that Ride or Die has been cancelled after one season even though it was a HUGE hit.'

'The level of misogyny in the film and tv business is out of control. There was a brief period about 10 years ago when it felt like it was improving, but it is now worse than ever. You don't have to believe me; the statistics are there.'

'My advice to women is to try to by-pass the whole system. I still have meetings with deeply mediocre men with a fraction of my writing experience who try to teach me how to write and if I don't listen obediently, I lose the job,' the writer continued.

'I get told to take menopause jokes out of scripts because they don't like the word. I get told the female characters are too funny. No. We have to make our own way. Use whatever you have available to get your work out there.' 

Ride or Die stars Hannah and Octavia Spencer as long-time best friends Judith Burton and Debbie Claybourne, whose lives are upended when a botched hit reveals that Judith (played by Hannah) is actually a secret international assassin.

Two weeks after its July debut, the eight-episode series led all original shows across streaming services for the week of July 17 to July 23 with an estimated 1.6 billion minutes watched, Variety reported at the time.

In the US, within just two days of release, it had close to a million views – twice as many as Prime Video’s heavily promoted Legally Blonde prequel Elle, and almost four times as many as its teen ice hockey romance Off Campus.
