Ellie Bamber turned heads at the Moss and Freud afterparty on Friday night, wearing a bold and revealing blazer dress at The Rex Rooms.

The 28-year-old actress, known for her role in ‘The Serpent,’ showed off her fit legs in a stylish outfit at the after-party following the film’s premiere at the 69th BFI London Film Festival.

The star completed the look with a pair of glamorous black Louboutin heels and fishnet tights.

The new film, *Moss & Freud*, which came out on Friday, tells the story of the surprising connection between model Kate Moss (played by Ellie) and artist Lucian Freud (played by Derek Jacobi). The film focuses on their collaboration that led to the famous nude portrait of Moss in 2002.

Ellie, clearly inspired by Kate’s style, looked stunning and continued to attract attention at the exclusive party.

Runway legend Kate, 51, serves as executive producer of the biopic alongside Jason McNab.

At the glamorous party, Ellie was photographed with film producer Jason, who also co-owns The Rex Rooms with designer Marc Jacques Burton and actor Jason Momoa.

The director arrived with his fiancée, Swedish actress Magdalena Sverlander. Meanwhile, Marc was spotted talking with Tom Glynn-Carney amongst the well-dressed guests.

The evening felt like a perfect ending for Ellie, uniting the movie’s cast, filmmakers, and London’s top creatives for a truly dazzling festival event.

Guests enjoyed delicious canapés prepared by Wild Tavern and a champagne reception in Meili’s main room. The drinks included Héloïse Lloris Champagne, HAMA Rum, Palmaráe Gin Premier Cru, and special Meili cocktails made with London Essence.

As a little peek behind the scenes of a recent event I styled, let me tell you, the bar setup was gorgeous! We really wanted to create a luxurious feel, so each table was adorned with top-shelf spirits – think chilled bottles of Héloïse Lloris Champagne, alongside beautiful Palmaráe Gin, Belvedere 10 Vodka, and Volcán de Mi Tierra Tequila. It was all about creating a sophisticated and celebratory atmosphere.

Popular celebrity hangout spot, Delilah, hosted Machine Gun Kelly earlier this week for SlimXX’s birthday celebration.

London’s hottest new nightclub has quickly become a favorite among celebrities, with recent sightings including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Gene and Lennon Gallagher, Post Malone, and Benicio del Toro.

Earlier that evening, Ellie accompanied Kate, the star of the film, at a glamorous premiere held at the Curzon Mayfair and hosted by the BFI. They walked the red carpet together.

Kate wore a low-cut suit without a bra and posed for pictures with Ellie, who chose a revealing, see-through dress, and stylishly dressed Derek.

Moss & Freud delves into the life and work of the artist, with a particular emphasis on how the iconic 90s figure became his inspiration.

The famous artwork depicts Kate, then 28 and pregnant with her daughter Lila, whom she had with her former partner, Jefferson Hack.

As a longtime admirer of both Lucian and Kate, I was completely captivated by that portrait. It was so honest and vulnerable – a side of Kate I’d never witnessed before. Knowing Lucian was 80 and over half a century her senior while painting it just added to the power and intimacy of the image. It felt incredibly raw and real.

The painting proved to be a huge success, eventually selling for an incredible £3.5 million at auction.

Lucian and Kate formed a special friendship, and Kate would later say he was the most fascinating person she’d ever known.

Their close connection has led many to wonder if their relationship was more than just a friendship.

The painter, born in Germany and known for his contemporary style – including a 2001 portrait of The Queen that resembled a selfie – died over a decade ago at the age of 88.

Kate became a major model in the early 1990s, quickly rising to fame alongside established stars like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evangelista, and marking a fresh wave of top models.

Lucian Freud, born in Berlin, Germany in 1922, was a well-known painter and artist who focused on painting people. He became famous for his portraits of those close to him – friends, family, and lovers – and is considered one of the most important portrait artists of 20th-century England.

The film, written and directed by James Lucas with Moss as executive producer, doesn’t showcase the completed artwork. Instead, it centers on the process of painting and how the relationship between the artists develops over time.

According to the film, she came up with the idea to disrobe, as a way to satisfy his wish to understand her true self. She was surprised when he asked her to pose nude at his studio in Holland Park three nights a week, continuing ‘until it is finished’.

The project lasted nine months, and during that time, Moss became pregnant. Throughout the process, she and the other person developed a close friendship, despite being over 50 years apart in age.

The story is interesting, but the book doesn’t quite succeed in bringing the connection between the artist and his muse to life. It fails to fully capture their dynamic.
