Olivier Awards 2023: Eddie Izzard looks impeccable in blue coat trends now
Eddie Izzard showed off her impeccable sense of style as she arrived at the Olivier Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday.
The comedian and actress, 61, who stated in 2019 that she uses she/her pronouns, wore a blue coat over a chic black dress with a plunging neckline.
Her coat was cinched in at the waist and she carried a sparkling silver sequinned clutch purse with her.
She wore a pair of black heels to add a few inches to her stature and had on a pair of black rimmed glasses.
Eddie, who recently said she would also be going by the name Suzy, wore lashings of make-up, including a bold red lip.

Following Eddie's one-person performance of Great Expectations in New York, the production is to transfer to London's West End at the Garrick Theatre for a run from 24 May to 1 July this year.
Eddie will play 'nineteen of the characters in a unique re-telling – a classic tale of convicts, mystery, friendship, rivalry, unrequited love, revenge, and redemption'.
The show was recently extended in New York due to positive reviews before it ended at Greenwich House Theatre in February.
Critics branded the show 'transfixing' and praised the star for her 'intelligence' on stage, where she performs in a ruffled blouse and heeled knee high boots.
