Emma Corrin oozed sophistication in a sheer tulle gown as they joined Paul Mescal at the Cartier VIP dinner.
An array of stars headed to London's V&A Museum on Thursday for the lavish dinner in South Kensington.
Among those was The Crown star Emma, 29, who turned heads in a striking grey and black tulle gown.
The daring strapless dress featured a full skirt and sheer panelling exposing their skin underneath, and Emma accessorised with black ballet pumps, a huge diamond ring and a diamond necklace.
Meanwhile Normal People star Paul, also 29, looked dapper as he sported a tux for the occasion.
The Irish actor looked relaxed as he posed with his hand in his pocket showing off his fitted high-wasited trousers and patent shoes.
The stars were last pictured two years ago in January 2023 for the press night of West End's A Streetcar Named Desire's afterparty in London.
Paul donned a black suit for the bash after taking to the stage in the role of leading man Stanley in the production, with The Daily Mail's Patrick Marmion praising his 'beast off the leash' performance.
Meanwhile, actor Emma looked stylish as they wrapped up in a black turtle-neck jumper and matching trousers for the night out.
Keeping his look simple, Paul sported a pair of black trousers and a matching blazer - which he layered over a beige shirt.
He wrapped an arm around Emma, who had come by to support their pal and flashed a smile for some snaps.
The Crown star, who is non-binary and goes by they/them pronouns, had bright blonde cropped locks and shielded their eyes with rectangular sunglasses.
Emma was also taking to the stage in the West End at the time as they took part in racy play Orlando at London's Garrick Theatre.
It comes hours after Netflix announced Emma had been cast Elizabeth Bennet for its upcoming six-part limited series based on Jane Austen's beloved 1800s novel Pride & Prejudice.
Joining Emma are Slow Horses' Jack Lowden portraying Mr. Darcy, and Oscar winner Olivia Colman taking on the role of Mrs. Bennet.
The adaptation will be penned by Dolly Alderton and directed by Euros Lyn, who will also serve as an executive producer alongside Emma.
Filming for the series will begin later this year in the UK.
Speaking about the new series, Dolly said in a statement: 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story, and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it.'
She continued: 'Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.'
Emma added: 'Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly's phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honour.
'I can't wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.'
In November, it was reported that Emma was set to follow in Keira Knightley's footsteps with a lead role in the fresh Netflix adaptation.
A source told The Sun: 'Dolly is working on a Pride And Prejudice script for Netflix and thinks Emma would be perfect to play Elizabeth.
'She is a big fan of Emma's work, most notably in The Crown where Emma played Princess Diana.
'Dolly is also very progressive and forward-thinking, so thinks that having a non-binary star in the role would be a brilliant move.'
