Celebrity Photos May 2024: Simone Ashley, Jonathan Bailey and Cher

May kicked off with Variety celebrating the Power of Women New York, where Glenn Close helped honor – and have some fun on the red carpet with – Mariska Hargitay. In Sydney, Anya Taylor-Joy stunned in a gold ensemble at the “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” premiere and Austin Butler was in Beverly Hills taking part in an Emmy FYC event for “Masters of the Air.”

Daniel Radcliffe celebrated his first Tony nomination for his work in “Merrily, We Roll Along” at the awards’ annual nominees press junket. And that was John Legend in a “Barbie”-pink suit performing at City Year Los Angeles’ 13th annual Spring Break gala.
