Baby Reindeer’s Nava Mau turned heads as she and Richard Gadd arrived at the Fashion Awards afterparty in London on Monday.
The transgender actress, 32, who plays Teri in Baby Reindeer, an American therapist who meets lead character Donny [Gadd] on a dating app, looked nothing short of sensational in a black embellished sheer dress as she strutted into the Chiltern Firehouse.
The stylish ensemble boasted a lace V-neckline, a sequin embellishment at the bust, a sheer black skirt with a sequin butterfly design, and a long train.
Nava added inches to her frame wearing a pair of black stiletto heels and further accessorised with silver statement earrings.
To complete her look, Nava styled her dark tresses up in an elegant updo and beamed for the cameras as she entered the venue.
Meanwhile, Baby Reindeer creator Richard, 35, who won three Primetime Emmy Awards for writing, producing, and acting in the series, cut a smart figure in a beige trench coat.

He teamed the stylish coat with a smart black button-up shirt from Loewe and tailored trousers as he strolled into the event.
It comes after Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha was given the green light to ‘sue Netflix for libel’ after a judge gave a key ruling.
A judicial order obtained by PEOPLE determined that Richard’s hit TV show could be portrayed as a ‘true story’, meaning Fiona Harvey could launch a defamation lawsuit against the streaming service.
The court disagreed with Netflix that they had created a fictional story as many of the details of the series were factual, along with a text that starts the show which reads: ‘This is a true story.’
Fiona, who says the lead character Martha’s life is based on her own, has denied key parts of the show are true, including going to prison or court.
She asserts that she never stalked Richard, did not sexually assault him, nor was she ever convicted of stalking.
Judge Gary Klausner said in his order that ‘there is a major difference between stalking and being convicted of stalking in a court of law,’ ‘inappropriate touching and sexual assault’ and ‘shoving and gouging,’ when comparing the experiences Richard had with Fiona and that of the one seen on screen with Martha, according to PEOPLE.
It was previously revealed exclusively in the Mail that the show’s writer, Richard, who plays himself and based the premise on his own experiences, told makers Clerkenwell Films that his stalker was never convicted.

Sources indicate that Richard told Clerkenwell that the stalker was the subject of an ‘exclusion order’ – a civil order and not the same as a criminal conviction of stalking.
This means that the show was always a fictionalised dramatisation – though it went out under a banner which read ‘this is a true story’.
The comedian did admit that some parts of the story were changed ‘slightly to create dramatic climaxes.’
It’s not clear how Clerkenwell Films described the situation to Netflix, or what compliance procedures were undertaken.
He added: ‘It’s very emotionally true, obviously: I was severely stalked and severely abused. But we wanted it to exist in the sphere of art, as well as protect the people it’s based on.’

Netflix had asked for the lawsuit to be thrown out in July on the basis that ‘a reasonable person would not understand the statements [regarding Harvey] to be assertions of fact.’
However, the judge disagreed saying: ‘The very first episode states unequivocally that ‘this is a true story,’ thereby inviting the audience to accept the statements as fact.’
Fiona had filed the lawsuit on June 6 and had asked for over $170 million in damages, as she claimed that she faced a lot of harassment after the show was aired.
As a result, Fiona claimed she planned to sue the show for defamation, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of right of publicity, among other charges.
