Poppy Delevingne and her ex-husband James Cook faced an awkward run-in during London Fashion Week.
The socialite and sister of Cara Delevingne, 39, was joined by her boyfriend Archie Feswick for the Mert Alas and SEVENTY ONE Gin party at Chiltern Firehouse on Thursday months after the pair welcomed their first child together.
Meanwhile businessman James also made an appearance, with his pregnant fiancée Lauren Brown.
Poppy and James got married back in 2014 at St Paul’s Church in Kensington, with a star-studded guestlist that included Alexa Chung, Georgia May Jagger, Princess Beatrice and Suki Waterhouse.
However, the couple eventually grew apart, and while choosing not to officially announce their split, in 2023, Poppy started dating Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark – sparking speculation that she and James had separated permanently.
For the London Fashion Week opening party event, Poppy opted for a casual chic, wearing a baggy leather coat with pale blue flared jeans.

She finished the ensemble with a black vest, huge platform boots and a brown Gucci belt as she strolled arm-in-arm in Archie.
Meanwhile James sported a red striped shirt as he arrived with Lauren, who wore a black mini-dress and varsity jacket.
In September last year, she finally broke her silence on the divorce, saying she ‘will always have a good relationship’ with James.
She added: ‘There’s a lot of love and respect there. It just no longer worked for us. I met him when I was 20 years old, and 15 years is a long time…
‘I think 15 years to be with someone is a success. And sometimes these things just have to come to an end. When it did end, that feeling, it was this sort of, like, bubbling-up of freedom. I felt sort of 20 all over again.
‘It should have probably ended earlier than it did, and I think one of the reasons why it didn’t is because of that stigma, which is extraordinary.
‘I’m quite sad, actually, that we should feel that there’s such a thing about it. [It’s] that: “God, she’s divorced, damaged goods, no one’s going to want you.”
‘Especially women in their late thirties who haven’t had a baby. It’s not easy to make that kind of a decision. You have to have courage. You’ve got to love yourself, put yourself first, and you’ve got to be happy. We have one shot at life.’

Poppy has since moved on, welcoming daughter Kaia Moon with her billionaire businessman partner Archie Keswick on May 20.
But she waited to announce the birth until July, taking to Instagram to share a black and white snap of her clutching her baby girl’s hand with the caption: ‘20.05.25 The stars aligned, & then there was you.
‘KAIA MOON KESWICK. Welcome to the world baby bear. You have our hearts, our everything.’
Poppy previously revealed she had discovered she was pregnant during London Fashion Week, after she noticed her clothes were tighter than usual while being fitted for a Burberry show.
Poppy went public with her romance with Archie in July last year, when they attended the BST Hyde Park festival together.
Archie is the son of Simon Keswick, former director of multi-billion pound Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine Matheson – owner of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
His family has a reported private fortune of £6.35bn and he is no stranger to a high-profile relationship, having previously dated actress Sienna Miller.
Meanwhile James has also found love again, and revealed earlier this month that he is expecting his first child with fiancée Lauren.

The businessman, 44, took to his Instagram on Monday to share a photo of Lauren debuting her blossoming baby bump during their holiday to the Costa del Sol.
The snap showed the photographer’s agent posing in a white bikini top and baggy shorts, leaving her bare bump on full display as she threw up double peace signs to the camera.
Announcing their baby news, James captioned the shot: ‘Wife and baby bump on hols’, and displayed his immense joy by adding poignant track, Lucky Man, by The Verve.
He was flooded with well wishes from his followers, including congratulatory comments from singer Sophie Ellis-Bexter and Sienna Miller’s sister Savannah.James and Lauren’s baby news comes off the heels of their engagement, after he popped the question to his ex-wife’s doppelganger while on holiday in Bhutan in April.
