Lily Allen and Jonah Freud have made their latest public appearance together, arriving side-by-side for the exclusive Valentino afterparty during Paris Fashion Week. This joint outing marks another significant step in their burgeoning romance, which has been developing since last year.
A Fashionable Couple Emerges
The singer, aged 40, and the writer, who is 28 and comes from a notable family as the son of entrepreneur Matthew Freud and the nephew of the late artist Lucian Freud, were photographed leaving Le Bristol Hotel in the French capital on Wednesday evening. Their destination was the star-studded Valentino event, which also attracted high-profile attendees including Dakota Johnson and Kirsten Dunst.
Style Statements and Celebrity Sightings
Lily Allen opted for a sophisticated grey coat paired with a distinctive green fur scarf, completing her look with her signature black hair styled in an elegant beehive. Later in the evening, the couple were spotted leaving the party together, reinforcing their status as a new item on the celebrity circuit.
Other notable figures at the Valentino gathering included Dakota Johnson, who arrived flanked by a bodyguard and showcased an effortlessly chic ensemble featuring a brown fur coat, leopard print blouse, and striking red lace tights. Kirsten Dunst maintained an understated appearance with a navy longline coat over a blue bow dress, while actor Austin Butler was also seen strolling through Paris that evening in a double denim outfit.
From Italian Getaways to Parisian Nights
This Parisian appearance follows the couple's recent romantic trip to Italy, where they reportedly stayed in a suite at Rome's Hotel Locarno, thought to cost approximately £800 per night. Just days after their Italian holiday, Lily flew to Paris for Haute Couture Fashion Week, initially attending events solo before being joined by Jonah later in the evening.
A Relationship Gaining Momentum
The couple's relationship has been developing through multiple public sightings over recent months. They were first spotted sharing a passionate kiss at Lily's celebrity-packed Christmas party at London's Stringfellow's in December, following weeks of speculation about their connection. Earlier that month, they enjoyed a cosy dinner date at the Michelin-starred Dorian in Notting Hill, spending over two hours chatting and laughing together.
Their Italian getaway represented a significant escalation in their romance, with the pair seen enjoying coffee and cigarettes together outside Sant' Eustachio Caffè in Rome. An eyewitness who spotted them in the Italian capital confirmed their relaxed, intimate dynamic during their mini-break.
New Beginnings After Personal Transitions
This developing romance comes following the breakdown of Lily Allen's marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, aged 50. The singer's appearance at her Christmas party in what was described as a "revenge dress" marked a stark contrast to the previous year, which she reportedly spent alone following her separation.
As Paris Fashion Week continues, the couple's joint appearances and growing public profile suggest their relationship is becoming increasingly serious, with their latest outing at the Valentino afterparty providing further evidence of their commitment to one another amidst the glamour of the international fashion scene.
