“We ended up jumping in the lake in our suit and gown, just to cool down,” Strahovski told E! News on the red carpet at the time. “It was ridiculously hot. But we had a great time.”

Loden added: “We all made it through and did some dancing. It was fantastic.”

Strahovski opened up to Stellar magazine in April about how her Handmaid’s Tale’s character, Serena Joy, has affected her opinions on motherhood.

“It hasn’t put me off at all, it’s definitely something I want for my future,” she said about her character’s infertility struggles. “But it has made me wary of starting that process. I just always imagine if I have a child at work – screaming at people or throwing things around – how on earth will that affect something growing inside of me?”
