Tom Cruise, 62, received the prestigious British Film Institute Fellowship at London’s Rosewood Hotel, accompanied by ex-girlfriend and Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell. The actor, currently dating Ana de Armas, radiated joy on the red carpet, sporting a crisp white shirt and blue spotted tie.

Atwell, who plays Grace in the Mission: Impossible franchise, turned heads in a structured black blazer with padded shoulders, a matching skirt, and towering white stilettos. Her sleek bun and minimalist jewelry completed the polished look.

Star-Studded Attendees
The glitzy BFI Chair’s Dinner drew A-listers like Sabrina Elba, who stunned in a sleeveless black gown adorned with a horse design. Hannah Waddingham epitomized chic in a white off-the-shoulder dress, while Angela Bassett commanded attention in a white corset and tailored trousers. Simon Pegg added quirk with a satin pink blazer, and Tramell Tillman stood out in a vibrant red silk suit.

Mission: Impossible Updates
Cruise’s upcoming film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, premieres in Cannes on May 23, 2025, after multiple delays. Atwell reprises her role as IMF agent Grace, alongside Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. The actor, known for daring stunts, recently scaled the BFI IMAX rooftop in London to promote the film.

Cruise’s Musical Ambitions
During a BFI talk, Cruise revealed his desire to return to musicals, 13 years after Rock of Ages. “Definitely musicals. Drama, action, adventures—my goals are endless,” he told Rolling Stone. He and director Christopher McQuarrie are already brainstorming future projects, emphasizing their focus on “evolving action with emotion.”
