If Nikolai von Bismarck was hoping for some affection from Kate Moss it was not forthcoming as they made their first public appearance since January on Monday evening.
The supermodel, 50, is back in London after a trip to Turkey, where she was pictured hand-in-hand with reggae legend Bob Marley’s 27-year old grandson Skip.
And her flamboyant artist boyfriend appeared to be Waiting In Vain as Kate repeatedly turned away from him while occupying neighbouring seats at the Gucci Cruise fashion show at London’s Tate Modern.
Nikolai was left in the shadows, quite literally, while Kate chatted with model daughter Lila, Blondie star Debbie Harry and Hollywood legend Demi Moore on the front row.
The catwalk veteran was making her first public appearance with Nikolai since January, when they celebrated her 50th birthday in Paris.

He did not appear to be present during her recent trip to Turkey, during which she became so excited at a performance by Skip Marley that she ran on stage and had to be ushered away by guards.
Slip, the 27-year-old grandson of late reggae superstar Bob Marley, did not appear to be too perturbed by her passionate enthusiasm as he was later seen holding hands with Kate.
‘Kate ran on stage as she loved it so much,’ a spectator tells me. ‘She was escorted off the stage by security. I don’t know whether there’s a “thing” [between the pair] but she’s a fan for sure. It was all very sweet and non-confrontational.’
Marley was performing at the launch of cultural festival Med Bodrum at the Turkish holiday resort’s Macakizi hotel, where the model is known to have stayed in the past.
Other artists to feature in the festival include Marina Abramovic and British photographer Alistair Guy.
Moss, who is a regular visitor to Bodrum, was accompanied by her close friend Rosemary Ferguson, 48, a model-turned-nutritionist.
Joining them was Rose’s husband, the artist Jake Chapman, and photographer Mariano Vivanco.
Raised in Miami, Skip is the son of Bob Marley’s second daughter Cedella.

He is understood to be single, having previously been romantically linked to Grammy award-winning American singer H.E.R. with whom he made the hit song Slow Down.
When in Bodrum, Kate often stays at the LifeCo health retreat. However, her visits do not always have a calming effect.
In 2015, she was escorted by police off an Easyjet flight from Bodrum after reportedly drinking vodka she pulled from her cabin luggage when flight attendants refused to serve her alcohol.
As officers at Luton Airport lead her off airport she reportedly called the pilot ‘a basic b**ch’.
