Bafta! Host Rebel’s 5 stone since last awards in 2020
...while Talulah and her toyboy kick off the party early
THEY met on the set of the forthcoming drama about the Sex Pistols – but there was nothing very punk about the dance moves Talulah Riley and her boyfriend Thomas Brodie-Sangster tried out at a pre-Bafta party on Friday.
The pair cut a rug at a gala dinner at the West End’s swanky Londoner hotel, and it may have been the free-flowing champagne that gave Queen’s Gambit actor Brodie-Sangster enough Dutch courage to show his footwork.
Ms, Riley, the 36-year-old former wife of Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, was dressed in a £1,500 plunging green metallic gown by London-based designer Glavan, while her 31-year-old toyboy wore black tie and a very distictive jacket.
It is the first time they have been seen together at a public event since they began dating while filming Pistol, in which they play svengali Malcolm McLaren and designer Vivienne Westwood.
They are yet to comment on their romance but were seen at a fish and chip shop on Cleethorpes Pier earlier this year.
They were joined by a host of stars, including Call The Midwife actress Helen George, wearing a baby blue frock with feathered sleeves and Victoria star Jenna Coleman, 35, who chose a demure orange satin creation.
Former Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman was also there and even managed to do a turn on the drums.
Strictly host Tess Daly, her husband Vernon Kay and television presenter Piers Morgan were also in attendance.
