Matthew McConaughey shares a hug with Ronnie Wood as they join glam Louise Redknapp and smiling Vicky McClure as Hollywood flocks to watch Stevie Wonder at BST Hyde Park
The Hollywood star, 55, led the celebrities who flocked to watch legendary singer Stevie, 75, headline at the London festival, which took place over two weeks.
After the music spectacular came to a close, new photographs have given a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the A-list stars rubbing shoulders backstage.
Matthew and Ronnie joined the likes of Louise Redknapp, Vicky McClure, Sacha Baron Cohen, Naomi Campbell and Tessa Thompson at the epic night.
One photograph showed actor Matthew - who also caught attention at Wimbledon in recent days - sharing an embrace with Rolling Stones star Ronnie, 78.
Matthew cut a suave figure in a white shirt as he wrapped his arm around Ronnie, who put on a vibrant display in a bright blue patterned shirt.
The pair were seen happily smiling and throwing their arms around one another as they socialised in the crowds, before watching the set from the VIP area.
Ronnie attended the show with his wife Sally Humphreys Wood, who looked effortlessly stylish with a denim jumpsuit.
The couple also brought along their twin daughters Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, nine, who supported him as he took to the stage.
Ronnie performed with the Rolling Stones as his family waved to him from the audience, before they all gathered to watch Stevie.
He was joined by his bandmates, Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 78, and Steve Jordan on stage as they delighted thousands of fans.
Meanwhile, Matthew stepped out for the occasion with his wife Camila Alves, who cut a sophisticated figure in a cream suit.
She completed her stylish ensemble with a pair of sandals and toted her essentials in a grey handbag as she stepped out alongside Matthew.
Their outing came just one day before Matthew was praised for his polite antics while appearing at Wimbledon final on Sunday.

It came just hours before Matthew was praised by Wimbledon fans for his sweet gesture to the Royal Family on Sunday, because he stood up when the family arrived (pictured)
The American star was among the celebrities who watched on as Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to the Wimbledon title in the star-studded royal box on Sunday.
And Matthew was praised as a 'lovely southern gentleman' after his touching tribute to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
In footage shared on X of Kate and William's arrival into the box, Matthew was seen standing up for the royals as they made their way to their seats in a sign of respect.
The Etiquette School Of New York states that only British people are required to curtsy and bow to royalty, yet Americans are not required to do so.
And Matthew was equally friendly at Hyde Park as he was spotted avidly waving to the crowds while watching the show with his wife Camila.
They were seen beaming and waving while dancing along to the music, before they shared a sweet embrace as they looked as loved-up as ever.
Louise Redknapp was also spotted looking very cosy with her boyfriend Drew Michael in the crowds.
Louise, 50, put on a stylish display in washed-out denim jeans and a leopard print T-shirt as she joined other concertgoers in the crowds.

Drew, 41, looked equally stylish in blue jeans and a pink T-shirt as the couple stood and enjoyed a drink in the sunshine.

Vicky was also seen laughing with comedians David Walliams and Stephen Merchant as the group approached Ronnie for a chat.
Elsewhere, supermodel Naomi, 55, put on a leggy display in a blue summer dress with a plunging neckline and a backless design.
She kept comfortable in a pair of silver trainers and shielded her eyes with aviator shades as she joined Dave Chappelle to watch the show.
Naomi was also seen sharing a kiss on the cheek with will.i.am as the friends greeted one another amid the A-list crowds.
Comedian Sacha, 53, was also in attendance and was seen having a chat with some friends as he cut a low-profile at the festivities.

Jade Thirlwall also stepped out at the festival with her boyfriend Jordan Stephens and was seen walking closely behind Ronnie upon her arrival.
The singer, 32, kept it casual in wide-leg jeans and a white T-shirt, while she carried a red cardigan in her arms.
Rizzle Kicks star Jordan was later seen sporting a grey shirt and 'peace' bucket hat as he stood amongst the crowds to watch headliner Stevie.
The legendary singer brought his catalogue of music – spanning six decades – to BST Hyde Park for the second time.
With over 100million records sold all over the world, it's no surprise that Stevie's appearance sold out.
And during his headlining gig, Stevie cracked a blind joke while paying tribute to John Lennon and Marvin Gaye on stage.
Arriving on stage, Stevie was dressed in a white tunic with stitched portraits of John and Marvin on either side.

He was supported by his wife Sally and their two youngest daughters before he performed with the Rolling Stones
Sally was every inch the doting mother as she stood beside her daughters in the VIP section
Ronnie sweetly placed his hands on his daughters' shoulders as he guided them through the busy crowds

Tapping one side, Stevie told fans, 'This is Marvin Gaye,' but quickly realised he was showcasing John's face.
He corrected himself and playfully added: 'I'm sorry y'all I'm blind,' which had the large crowd laughing.
Kicking off with Love's In Need of Love Today, he attributed the song to the fragility of the world today.
He said: 'We've been through the hate, [but] love is far bigger. We need - in a time when this planet is too angry — light. So, I want to start off with a song off that you would by now know…'
An extra special, and unexpected, cover of Imagine by John Lennon followed.
The setlist also included Everybody Is A Star, Master Blaster (Jammin'), Higher Ground and You Are The Sunshine of My Life.
Stevie ended with Superstition and Another Star before the American star took his final bow.

New stamps mark 75th anniversary of Peanuts comic strip
Good grief – Royal Mail has released images of new stamps to mark the 75th anniversary of the popular comic strip Peanuts. The eight stamps include specially adapted artworks from classic comic strips that feature the main characters, with some special British touches. Snoopy is seen perched on a red postbox with Woodstock, while Lucy and Linus enjoy a day at the seaside, building a sandcastle. Another stamp shows Snoopy and Woodstock on guard duty outside Buckingham Palace. In another, Schroeder plays Pomp and Circumstance No 1 by Edward Elgar on the piano as Lucy, Snoopy and Charlie Brown celebrate nearby. Charlie Brown and Franklin are captured playing football, and another stamp shows Charlie Brown and Snoopy in the rain. For the 50 years Charles Schulz wrote Peanuts, the comic was read by millions around the world, and at one time was published in 2,600 newspapers globally. David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs and policy, said: 'For generations, Peanuts has brought laughter, comfort, and quiet wisdom. 'This stamp collection is a heartfelt tribute to Charles M Schulz's enduring legacy and the timeless charm of his comic strip.' The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are available to pre-order from Thursday and go on general sale from July 24.

The real BBC rich list REVEALED: From Stacey Solomon to Richard Osman and Rylan Clark - the stars earnings the corporation don't publish
Earlier this week it was revealed Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball have topped the BBC rich list again this year as their whopping salaries were published. The BBC's annual report for 2024/25 showed the sport star's £1.35 million salary made him the Beeb's highest-paid star over the last year with Zoe the highest-paid woman at the corporation on £519,000, despite working part-time. However it appears they aren't really the richest stars at the corporation as several famous faces were absent from the report. The likes of Stacey Solomon, Rylan Clark and Claudia Winkleman were not listed as BBC studios, its own commercial arm, does not have to publish the salaries of its own stars. A dive into several presenters filings of their limited firms registered at Companies House means it is possible to estimate the earnings of some fan favourites. So who really is topping the BBC hidden rich list? Stacey Solomon - £7.3million Back in April MailOnline revealed Stacey to be worth a staggering £7.3million after dramatically increasing her fortune last year. The Dagenham-born TV star, 35, who presents BBC show Sort Your Life Out, has enlarged her earnings from £1.4million in 2023 to £3million the following year, with the former X Factor finalist's business Key Map Entertainment now valued at over £7million. Mother-of-five Stacey made a portion of her wealth after securing a reality show deal with the BBC, which follows her life with husband, ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash, 43, and their children. The former singer has earned her fortune by fronting multiple womenswear and children's ranges with high street giant Primark, homeware collections in supermarket Asda, and lucrative social media deals with the likes of Jet2 and In The Style. Richard Osman - £3,702,23 He was best known for co-hosting Pointless and has since gone on to host House Of Games. And Records for Six Seven Entertainment - of which Richard, 54, is the sole director - saw retained earnings come in at £3,702,23 in 2025, up from £1,904,477 the year before. It comes after a stellar year for the former Pointless host, which saw the build up to his series being adapted by Netflix, starring Dame Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan and Sir Ben Kingsley. Louis Theroux - £2,883,786 Louis' company Blobfish Limited made a total of £2,883,786 according to its most recent accounts, increasing its earnings by around £1 million between 2022 and 2023. While he has been the BBC's unassuming interviewer for 26 years, it seems he is taking a step back from his work with the national broadcaster. After two series of Louis Theroux Interviews, it was reported by The Sun earlier this year that Louis will not be making any more series for the foreseeable future and will instead be working with Netlix. Graham Norton - £2,774,145 The Irish star has been presenting his Friday night BBC chat show for 18 years and last year signed a deal with ITV, thought to be worth around £1million, to front a rebooted version of Wheel of Fortune. His former production company So Television was also bought by ITV in a deal reported to be worth up to £17million in 2012 and, last year, he took a £2.7million salary from So. Michael McIntyre - £1,753,861 Earlier this year the BBC announced they had secured a further two series of Michael McIntyre's The Wheel and The Big Show. His own production firm, Hungry McBear, with TV producer pal Dan Baldwin worth £1,753,861 in 2023. Claudia Winkleman - £1,575,279 Claudia's company Little Owl Production shows a total equity of £1,575,279 for the 2024 accounts. And the presenter is one of the channel's favourite presenters as the success of The Traitors continues to go from strength to strength. It's reported that she has a £1million deal to continue making the show and also earns around £600,000 a year for presenting Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly. Rylan Clark - £1,447,866 Rylan's Limited companies house shows he made £1,447,866 according to last year's accounts. The presenter has become a household name and despite rising to fame on the X Factor he is now an established figure at the BBC. He hosts his own Radio 2 show and earlier this year won the Corporation a Bafta TV award for his Grand Tour travel show alongside Rob Rinder. It has been a rocky year for the BBC and there are also some stars who have since parted ways with the corporation including Wynne Evans and most recently Gregg Wallace and John Torode. Wynne Evans - £734,830 Wynne was axed by the BBC following a controversial comment made during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour in January, but his accounts show he made £734,830 in 2024. After his BBC Wales show was cut, Wynne announced that he would be launching a new radio show - which he has now confirmed he will record from The Welsh House. After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. Then, it was revealed that his travelogue series with Joanna Page was cancelled after just one series. The programme originally aired in February and March of this year and was placed on ice when Wynne was dropped from the Strictly tour before returning to screens. Gregg Wallace - £24,830 Documents show Gregg's company Lobster Enterprises made £24,830 as of February this year. Gregg is said to be plotting a 'secret survival plan' and is desperate to keep earning, having been side-lined since last year following a raft of allegations about his inappropriate behaviour on set at MasterChef. A report this week substantiated 45 of the 83 allegations against him, and the BBC informed the star that it had no intention of working with him in the future. John Torode - £47,351 Meanwhile coming bottom of the list, John's company Caspar 10 Ltd shows accounts of £47,351 for 2025. The BBC also sacked John for 'using an extremely offensive racist term'. The Australian chef, 59, was axed from the cooking competition in an announcement from the broadcaster on Tuesday afternoon after the Gregg Wallace investigation also found John had once used an 'extremely offensive racist term', allegedly during some drinks after filming. John posted to Instagram on Tuesday evening to say he had 'no recollection' of the incident and did not believe it had happened.

The former Love Island star, 30, looked sensational in a grey tailored jumpsuit featuring a draped cowl neckline, sleeveless design, and tapered trousers that showcased her enviable figure. She elevated her frame with a pair of black pointed heels and accessorised with a croc-embossed burgundy leather handbag.

Flaunting her toned pins, Jessica also added height with a pair of classic black court heels and carried a £2,475 Saint Laurent Sac de Jour handbag. The glamorous duo were joined by a host of famous faces, including Hugh Dennis, Natalie Cassidy, Jordan North, Michael Caines, Tony Singh, Elliott Grover, and Jack Stein. While Rosemary Shrager, Poppy O'Toole, Kelly Hoppen, John Gardiner, and Shaun Wright Phillips also attended. Comedian Hugh, 63, kept things smart-casual in a grey button-up shirt and black jeans. Celebrity chef Elliott looked dapper in a grey checked blazer, blue shirt and navy trousers. While fellow chef Michael Caines opted for a stone blazer, beige trousers and tan brogues. Interior design guru Kelly, 65, turned heads in a chic navy silk dress on the red carpet. While food influencer Poppy looked radiant in a green gingham mini dress.

While radio host Jordan, 35, stood out in a blue-and-white crochet embroidered shirt layered over a white vest. Hosted by Emma Willis and Tom Allen, Cooking With The Stars sees celebrities mentored by top chefs as they battle it out in a series of cooking challenges. Each week, the celebrities go head-to-head to cook a dish to restaurant standards, with the weakest performers facing a cook-off without guidance from their mentors. In a dramatic twist, the mentors then judge the dishes in a blind tasting - meaning they could unknowingly send their own mentee home.
