Ambika Mod showed off her elegant sense of style as she graced the blue carpet at the 2025 Royal Television Society Awards in London on Tuesday.

The actress, 29, joined a slew of stars at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House H๏τel for the ceremony, after landing a nomination for Leading Actress for her performance in the Netflix hit.

Ambika showed off her chic sense of style in an elegant dress, which boasted a plunging black top and a white skirt. 

While Ambika did miss out on her award to Anna Maxwell Martin, the star already has another big role lined up, as it was announced she will play a porn addict in a new stage show at Britain’s most ‘experimental’ publicly funded theatre. 

The Royal Court has announced that they will be staging Sophia Chetin-Leuner’s Porn Play, which focuses on a female academic who is addicted to pornography, and also tackles the taboo topic of female masturbation.

The play was informed by a study which suggested that women are statistically more likely to watch violent pornography than men.

Ambika will take on the leading role in the play, which will be directed by Josie Rourke.

David Byrne, the Royal Court’s artistic director, said the play had a ‘conversation that I have not seen anywhere else’.

He said: ‘It is going to be a play that everybody will be talking about. Of course the subject matter elicits attention but it is a really deep and complex work.’

Chetin-Leuner, a London-based playwright, previously said she started writing Porn Play, because she ‘wanted to write something that I had never seen on stage before, and I had never seen a woman masturbate so it started from there’.

Ambika and Leo Woodall were praised by fans when they starred in Netflix’s One Day last year, which was based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls.

One Day follows the story of Emma and Dexter after meeting on the final night at Edinburgh University and the next 20 years of their lives on the same date, July 15.

The two graduates become integral to each other’s lives with a series of ‘will they won’t they’ moments and obstacles in the path of a possible romance.

The Mail revealed Ambika originally turned down the role of Emma Morley after the star explained she found it was a ‘mᴀssive, mᴀssive undertaking’ given Emma was previously played by Anne Hathaway, 41, in the 2011 adaptation.

She said: ‘It was definitely originally written as white and previously played by a white actress. I’m really excited to bring something new to the role, I hope that young women who don’t see themselves on screen that often see that it’s possible.

Ambika admitted she wouldn’t have landed the role 10 years ago due to her skin colour, saying: ‘I’m very different to Anne Hathaway, so I was never worried about that. Just the fact that I’m not white and I’m getting to play Emma.

‘I don’t think that would have happened ten years ago. That in itself is a way to modernise the story.’
