They had earlier dazzled on the red carpet for the star-studded London premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in Leicester Square on Thursday.

And Hannah Waddingham and Hayley Atwell continued to shine as they led the stars in leaving the premiere’s afterparty held at the nearby Brᴀsserie Zedel.

However, the film’s leading man was a no show at the bash, having earlier wowed the crowds at the main event.  

British actress Hannah, 50, caught the eye in the same plunging silver gown she wore at the glitzy premiere earlier in the day.

The beauty matched her shimmering dress with a mega-watt smile as she made her way out of the venue and towards her waiting car. 

The Ted Lᴀsso star made sure to stop and sign autographs for fans who gathered outside before heading off for the evening.

The actress, 43, is the leading lady of the film and has reprised her role as Grace, a former thief turned IMF agent and ally to Tom’s Ethan Hunt.

Another star switching up her look from the premiere was Pom Klementieff, who ditched her mirrored mini dress for a much more casual ensemble.

The beauty covered up in a loose white top which she teamed with baggy jeans and a dark jacket. 

Angela Bᴀssett meanwhile looked on fine form as she made her way through the crowd following the afterparty.

While the likes of Simon Pegg, Jerry Bruckheimer and were also seen leaving Christopher McQuarrie.

After having earlier put on an animated display, the rocker, 80, was seen staring straight ahead and was no doubt looking forward to some rest as he was led to his car following the eventful night out. 

In contrast, Rod’s wife Penny Lancaster, 54, looked full of beans as she delightedly clutched her Mission: Impossible collectors popcorn tin while climbing into their waiting car.

After enjoying her cinema treat while watching the film, Penny was seemingly keen to keep a memento of the night as she came away with the red eight-sided bucket which featured images of Tom performing various stunts.

Amid the premiere, Penny looked effortlessly chic in a yellow satin dress which she teamed with a smart white blazer.

Meanwhile, while Rod bared his chest in a white ruffled shirt and rocked a trendy jacket.

The loved-up pair, who have have been married since 2007, were joined by two young gentleman at the premiere.

The group looked in great spirits as they posed in front of a yellow plane while enjoying the fun atmosphere of the premiere.  

The Maggie May hitmaker has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair, 19, and Aidan, 14, which he raises with third wife Penny.

Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79.

Daughter Ruby, 37, is from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod’s firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.

The London premiere comes just a day after Tom and a host of other stars attended the first premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. 

With the new but final Mission: Impossible now just days away, fans are more eager than ever to find out how the eight-movie long series will come to its climax. 

And film lovers could be in for a treat with some early viewers describing the film – which cost almost $400million to make – as ‘astonishing’. 

Following a series of press screenings, movie critics took to social media to gush about the latest instalment in the franchise, calling it ‘the action film of the summer.’

‘Tom Cruise defies all odds with jaw-dropping action built only for Imax,’ wrote critic Anthony Gagliardi.

‘Every stunt, every set piece, every second is designed to blow your mind, A PULSE-POUNDING THRILL RIDE, and Cruise remains the king of spectacle,’ he added.

Fandango’s Erik Davis wrote, ‘Absolutely astonishing action moments meet a sprawling story with many nods to past MI films. It’s the biggest, wildest and most consequential Mission movie yet.’

Movie critic Dave Baldwin gushed, ‘It’s exceptionally entertaining with pulse-pounding stunts that will leave you gasping. Tom Cruise has done it again.’

The 62-year-old actor is famous for doing his own very adventurous stunts which have become a hallmark of the franchise.

And the latest instalment is no different, with one particular shock moment showing the Hollywood star thousands of feet up in the air as he dangles out of a helicopter before falling backwards to the ground.
