The Handmaid’s Tale Madeline Brewer looks worlds away from Gilead in a silk minidress as she poses with cinematographer pal at AGT summer party

Madeline Brewer looked unrecognisable as she attended the ATG Summer Party in Kensington Palace in London on Wednesday. 

The actress, 31, who is best known as Janine in The Handmaid’s Tale, looked worlds away from her fictional character at the star-studded summer party. 

Gone were the oppressed handmaid’s red robes and white wings and in its place was a slinky black strapless minidress which showcased Madeline’s incredible figure. 

Madeline was joined by cinematographer Jack Thompson-Roylance, who regularly posts pictures of the actress on his Instagram. 

The pair put on a cosy display as they posed for a photograph at the celebration hosted by the Ambassador Theatre Group CEO Mark Cornell in honour of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.

MailOnline has contacted Madeline’s representatives for comment.  

The actress also posed for a snap with Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan. 

Madeline has won a Primetime Emmy Award for her portrayal of Janine.  

Last November Madeline said her character on The Handmaid’s Tale played a key factor in her coming forward with her own story about abortion earlier this year.

The actress said in a piece from The Hollywood Reporter that both the role of Janine and one she has in a Cabaret adaptation have had abortions, serving as an inspiration to speak out after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

‘People talk about how much they love Janine and how much Janine has inspired them, and it felt important to me to talk about my own experience,’ Brewer said of the character, who had an abortion storyline in the show’s fourth season.

She continued: ‘Right now I’m doing theater in the West End, which I’ve wanted to do my whole life, and this character has an abortion as well. I was preparing this audition during the overturn of Roe.

‘I was playing Janine, preparing this audition, and now every single night I play a woman who goes through the feelings of getting pregnant, wanting to keep it, deciding not to keep it, because of the life that she wants for herself.’

The New Jersey native told the outlet of the timeline that led to her speaking out: ‘When I filmed Janine’s scenes where she was getting an abortion and being manipulated by these crisis pregnancy centers, Roe v. Wade was still intact.

‘But having that storyline was actually a really incredible grieving process for me for my own abortion that I spoke about online in June after the overturn of Roe.’
