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 distinctive jacket.

This is their first public appearance together since the filming of Pistol in which they played svengali Malcolm McLaren (designer Vivienne Westwood) was completed.
Although they have yet to speak on their relationship, the couple were seen together at Cleethorpes Pier’s fish and chips shop earlier in the year.
