She kept her essentials in a small handbag with a chain strap and simply complemented her chic ensemble with silver earrings.

The Serpent star continued to show off her newly dyed blonde locks as she styled her tresses into a wavy bob.

She highlighted her natural beauty with a bronzed smokey eye makeup palette as she entered the event alongside Austin.

The actor – who is dating Kaia Gerber – cut a suave figure in a partially unbuttoned gray shirt, which he styled with a black pinstripe suit.

He completed his ensemble with a pair of patent leather shoes and styled his brunette tresses in a natural, tousled style.

Austin has been dating his girlfriend Kaia, daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, since December 2021.

Meanwhile, Jenna met her boyfriend Jamie while he was directing her on the Netflix series The Sandman and they were first spotted together in February last year.

She was previously dating her Victoria co-star Tom Hughes, whom she met on the set of drama series Dancing On The Edge in 2013, but the couple went their separate ways in 2020.

Austin is a Best Actor nominee at the BAFTA Awards for his incredible performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s acclaimed biography.

He will compete against the likes of Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Bill Nighy, Daryl McCormack and Paul Mescal for the coveted award.

Austin has already enjoyed incredible success in awards season, having won his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, while also being an Oscar contender.

And Austin has revealed he copied Ryan Gosling’s extreme weight gain method to fuel himself for his role as Elvis and drank microwave ice cream.

In a new interview with Variety, he explained, “I heard that when he wanted to make The Lovely Bones, he microwaved Häagen-Dazs and was going to drink it.

“So that’s what I started with. I would get two dozen donuts and eat them all. I really started putting on a few pounds.’

But he admitted he wasn’t comfortable with the experience, adding: “It’s fun for a week or, and then you feel awful, so I did that for a while.”
