Jennifer Connelly received an award from American Pastoral co-star and director Ewan McGregor. The fashionable friends made a statement with Connelly in a fitted colour-blocked Louis Vuitton dress and McGregor in a black t-shirt and slacks with leather jacket. McGregor gave a warm speech complimenting Connelly on her courageous independent film work. After accepting the award and sharing a heartfelt embrace, the two slipped back to their dinner table as the guests were enjoying STK’s dry aged strip steak accompanied by local heirloom tomato fondue, roasted squash and goat cheese truffled mash potato au jus.
