The giggling star, 33, was spotted leaving the Groucho club in London’s Soho on Monday evening alongside the confectionary heir, 26.
Lily, who has been making the most of single life following her recent split from her ex-boyfriend of two years, looked in high spirits as she laughed and joked with Orson outside the private member’s club.
An onlooker claimed that Lily and Orson, who split from model Alexa, 39, last year, enjoyed a stroll around Soho after the exclusive bash.
Lily looked typically chic for their night out, wearing a form-fitting white dress with ruched detailing, teamed with a leather-look trench coat.

Hi! Lily flashed a wave to the camera as she walked beside Orson
Lily wore her brunette locks swept into an effortless updo and opted for a glamorous coat of make-up for the occasion.
She boosted her frame with a pair of pointed black heeled boots and accessorised the look with a gold necklace and hoop earrings.
Meanwhile, Orson looked dapper in a navy shirt and blazer, teamed with a grey scarf and a pair of Nike trainers.
Their night out comes weeks after she split from her bass-playing boyfriend Michael, while it was reported that Orson and Alexa split last summer.
Alexa was notably absent from Orson’s band Some People’s Glastonbury set at Worthy Farm in June last year amid claims they had gone their separate ways.
Orson might even have dropped a hint about a break-up at the time as he introduced one track by saying: ‘This next song is called Ways Of A Woman – not that we’d know.’
Alexa started dating the scion of the Fry chocolate dynasty in 2019, shortly after splitting from Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard. Orson was working part-time as a waiter when he was introduced to Alexa through mutual friends.
The photogenic pair were first snapped together at London festival All Points East in 2019. A public display of affection in front of the cameras announced their romance.

Alexa was a familiar presence at Orson’s gigs around the capital, and the two were once spotted sipping cocktails with ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher.
Lily’s date comes after she claimed guys are ‘rubbish’ on the dating app Hinge.
‘I cringe at most things I do,’ said the former Downton Abbey actress, whose ex-boyfriends include former Doctor Who star Matt Smith.
‘Yeah, I’ve been a sort of serial relationshipper, so I’ve not had any crazy dating stories,’ she added.

‘However, I did go on my mate’s Hinge the other day and I just despaired. I mean, come on.’
Last month her split from Michael was revealed, the pair called time on their relationship after growing apart in recent months, claimed The Sun.
The couple were first linked in February 2021 after they were spotted sharing a kiss outside a boutique hotel in Suffolk while she filmed What’s Love Got To Do With It?.
They then made their red carpet debut at the Oscars 2022 where they looked loved-up.
A source told the publication: ‘Lily and Michael have grown apart in recent months and have now decided to end their relationship.
‘They just couldn’t make it work as a couple, but they both wish each other the best for the future.’

The actress’s relationship with Michael initially came as a shock to fans of the pair, as Lily is known for her family friendly roles in Downton Abbey, Cinderella and Mamma Mia.
Meanwhile, Michael is a member of Queens Of The Stone Age, the band notorious for on-stage nudity and claims of drug and alcohol abuse.
In August 2021 Lily sparked speculation Michael had proposed as she headed out in Melrose Avenue, California with a gold ring on her engagement finger.
However a representative of Lily said of speculation regarding a proposal from Michael: ‘This is 100% not true’.
The couple were first linked in 2021 after they were spotted sharing a kiss outside a boutique hotel.
The American star was said to be staying at the hotel where Lily was quarantining with cast and crew for the film What’s Love Got To Do With It?.
An eyewitness told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Lily’s driver turned up just after 9am, then she and Michael emerged from the hotel together a few minutes later. They were laughing and joking and looked very happy together.’
While in March 2021, the American rocker was thought to be staying with her at her new £3million home in north London while she was filming in the UK.
Lily was then seen visiting Michael’s parents Ira Shuman, a former executive production manager for Walt Disney, who has worked on films such as The Wedding Singer and Strange Days, and Janet Shuman, in April.
The Mamma Mia star has kept her personal life private since she became the subject of worldwide scrutiny when images emerged showing her and actor Dominic West enjoying an al fresco lunch with their mutual agent, Angharad Wood, in October 2020.

They enjoyed a two-day vacation in Italy where they were seen riding on a scooter through Rome, and Dominic appeared to at one point lean over and kiss Lily’s neck.
TV and film star Lily previously dated The Crown star Matt Smith, 40, on and off for five years, with the relationship said to be over just weeks before she was pictured with Dominic.
In July 2020, the actress was pictured heading back to Chris Evans’ London hotel after partying into the early hours at private members’ venue, Mark’s Club in Mayfair.
Lily has raised eyebrows in the past by forging close friendships with her co-stars in recent productions – Armie Hammer in Rebecca and Dominic in BBC drama The Pursuit Of Love.
