The stars turned out in force for The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Party held at Burlington House in Piccadilly, London on Wednesday evening.
Leading the glamour on the evening was Imogen Poots, who ensured she would turn heads as she stepped out onto the red carpet at the glittering event.
Dressed to impress in a low-cut floral dress, the 29-year-old actress looked effortlessly stylish as she walked the red carpet on the arm of her dapper beau James Norton, who she went public with last month following his split from Jessie Buckley.
The blonde beauty looked sensational in the low-cut mini dress which featured a plunging neckline adorned with lace that showcased her cleavage, with the garment also cinching in at her slender waist to highlight her modelesque frame.
Flaring out to just below the knee, the flirty floral frock also showed off her lean legs, whilst she boosted her petite frame with a pair of platform peeptoe sandals which aided in helping her reach the towering frame of her handsome boyfriend, James.
Imogen finished off the look by styling her glossy golden locks in loose waves and bearing a full fringe that framed her pretty features, whilst a neutral smattering of make-up accentuated her striking good looks without masking her stunning porcelain complexion.

Imogen and James made for a very handsome couple at the event, with the Grantchester actor looking his typical dapper self by teaming a pair of navy trousers with a grey blazer and crisp shirt, injecting some fun into the ensemble with a pair of navy polka dot socks that peeked out above his brown loafers.
The couple had turned out along with a host of stars to attend the world famous Summer Exhibition, which was set up in 1768, to raise funds to support the Royal Academy Schools, Britain’s first art school.
It was a rare outing for the couple, having only gone public with their romance last month whilst attending a glamorous Cannes Film Festival party.
Despite not going public, their romance wasn’t the best kept secret, as soon after breaking up with his ex of two years Jessie Buckley, James was seen kissing Imogen as they did some Christmas shopping in December, with an onlooker saying at the time: ‘They appeared to be very much in love. They are clearly very close and seemed relaxed in each other’s company.’
Whilst James seems to have moved on with Imogen, his ex recently confessed that their break-up was ‘acrimonious’, putting it down partly to the difficulty of dating a fellow actor.
While in a relationship, the stars acted in the BBC’s lavish six-part dramatisation of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, which came out in 2016. James played Andrei Bolkonsky, while Jessie took on the role of his sister Princess Maria Bolkonskaya.

When they broke up last summer, they kept the news under wraps – but in December the Mail revealed James was dating his new co-star Imogen, and refused to say whether the actor – tipped to be the next James Bond – had left her for Imogen, but said the relationship had ended badly.
‘We have broken up, yes,’ she said. ‘It was acrimonious, but it’s a tough job to have a relationship and he is a great man and we are great friends. That’s it. How diplomatic can I sound?’ Explaining the break-up, Jemma told The Times: ‘If you are away for a year filming, you are just not physically around at points.’
Kristin Scott Thomas, 58, arrived at Burlington House in statement piece trousers which caught the eye with its butterfly, floral and polka dot design.

Framing her age-defying features with her tortoise shell sunglasses and sweeping the fringe of her pixie cut off her face, the actress added a slick of red lipstick for a burst of colour for an overall dramatic effect.
The Tomb Raider star flattered her incredible figure by teaming her fashionable wide-legged trousers with an elegant blouse with a pleat sewn across the bust to bring attention to her cleavage.
Completing her sophisticated vibe on the red carpet with the stars, Kristin draped her ivory blazer over her shoulders in a trendy fashion and she toted a black clutch with a golden casing for a hint of sparkle.
Also at the event was Hollywood star Kim Cattrall who attended the party with her boyfriend Russell Thomas, in a rare appearance amid her ongoing feud with Sarah Jessica Parker.
Dailymail.com reported in September that Cattrall, 61, was the reason Sex And The City 3 had been ‘torpedoed’ due to her ‘diva demands’, while the rest of the cast; Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis had all signed on eager to move on with production.
‘It’s over … we’re not doing it, I’m disappointed,’ Parker said days later.
‘We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie.’
The next month Cattrall sat down with Piers Morgan and revealed she had a ‘toxic relationship’ with the other stars and said Parker ‘could have been nicer’ about the situation.
She told him: ‘This is really where I take to task the people from Sex And The City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, is that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is.
‘The thing that still bothers me is this feeling of being in some way made to be the baddie. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.’
In recent days however it seems the feud between the duo has reached a point of no return as Cattrall lifted the lid on just how strained the relationship is between the two women.
Taking to Instagram Cattrall shocked fans by calling out Parker directly, calling her ‘cruel’ and a ‘hypocrite’.
I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker’ the British-born actress posted on Sunday.
With the post Cattrall pasted a link to a New York Post article titled ‘Inside the mean-girls culture that destroyed ‘Sex and the City”
It came following the sudden death of Cattrall’s brother Christopher on February 4 and after her former HBO colleagues had expressed their condolences.
