Claire, 32, chose a pink sequinned custom gown designed by Erdem for her big night.
The pink and silver number featured a train and a sash to highlight the actress' trim waist, while the low, off-the-shoulder neckline flashed some skin.
Claire styled her blonde hair into an effortless up do and finished off her look with shimmering eye makeup to match her dramatic dress and a pale pink lip colour.
Speaking to the Daily Mail on the red carpet, the actress joked about her lack of regal accessories.

'Drat , I forgot my crown ,' she told Baz Bamigboye. 'But , I have two corgis and a sceptre in my handbag.'
