Katia, 38, rocked a brown suit with a white button-down shirt and tie, while the former ballet dancer stunned in a black gown with sleek jewellery. Netizens were also quick to point out the huge height difference between the two: Washington is 157cm tall (5 ft 2 inches), while Wilson is 193cm (6 ft 4 inches).

Denzel has always put family first. “When I think of what I’m proudest of, anything I’ve accomplished doesn’t even come to mind,” he told Esquire in November. “It’s our children: They’re good people. They know right from wrong. What else can you ask for, you know? That alone: All four of them, healthy and in their right mind. Enough said.”

Here’s what we know about his oldest daughter, Katia Washington.
