White Lotus stars Aimee Lou Wood and Leslie Bibb enjoyed a reunion as they posed together on The Actor Awards red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
British actress Aimee, 32, who played Chelsea in the third season of the HBO drama stunned in baby blue chiffon off the shoulder dress.
Forgoing a necklace to let the look speak for itself, she strutted her stuff in a pair of stylish Jimmy Choo sandals.
Meanwhile Leslie, 52, who played the role of Kate, dazzled in a silver sequinned gown which was embroidered with a floral design.
She adde extra sparkle to her already showstopping look with diamond chandelier earrings and a cocktail ring.
The pair appeared delighted to be reunited and shared a giggle as they made their way into the star-studded ceremony.

The ceremony officially rebranded as The Actor Awards this year, a move designed to align the show with its iconic statuette ‘The Actor’, sharpen its global identity and keep the spotlight squarely on performers honoring their peers.
And there’s a familiar face steering the ship.
Kristen Bell returns as host for the third time, having previously emceed in 2018 and 2025.
‘Having Kristen return to host feels like welcoming back a member of the family. One you actually want to hang out with,’ show-runner and executive producer Jon Brockett said in a statement.
Streaming live on Netflix, the ceremony will hand out honors across 28 categories spanning film, television and limited series, with six nominees in each race except Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which features eight contenders.
On the film side, One Battle After Another leads the pack with seven nominations, followed closely by Sinners with five.
The race for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role is stacked with Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme, Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, and Jesse Plemons for Bugonia.
