Billie Piper and her close friend Lily James swapped the screen for the trading floor on Thursday as they joined forces in London.
The stars and longtime pals were among the big names taking part in the 21st BGC Annual Charity Day.
For the event, Billie, 42, cut a chic figure in a black faux-fur jacket layered over a ‘Choose Love’ slogan tee and a satin mini skirt.
She finished off her look with a pair of black boots and minimal accessories.
Meanwhile Lily, 36, kept it stylish in a black jumper paired with grey pinstripe trousers.
The pair appeared in good spirits as they posed up a storm for the cameras on the red carpet.

Since its inception, Charity Day has raised approximately £220million globally.
The BGC Group each year commemorates the 658 friends and colleagues and 61 Euro brokers employees, who lost their lives in 2001.
On BGC Charity Day, 100% of BGC Group’s revenue and broker commissions are donated directly to the participating charities.
This year’s beneficiaries include grassroot and community charities such as HVH Arts, 20/20 Levels, The Pearl Fund, West Ham United Foundation, Battersea Cats and Dogs Home and The Mayor’s Fund for London through to national.
There are also many international charities, such as Action Medical Research, Choose Love, Space for Giants and Help For Heroes.
Sean Windeatt, BGC Group’s Co Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, said: ‘Every year, BGC Charity Day is both humbling and uplifting.
‘The first thing we had to do post-9/11 was look after the families of those we had lost.

‘Once we had done that we asked ourselves what better way to honour them than by turning something so tragic into something so positive and in 2005 the first BGC Charity Day took place.
‘Today, that legacy continues. We are delighted to be supporting 60 charities here in the UK and many more around the world.
‘Importantly, 100% of revenues and broker commission from the day – goes directly to charity.
‘It has never been more important for the City and business community to give back and I want to thank all of our brokers, who give up their commission today for good causes, our employees who work so hard to make the event a success and our clients, whose generosity makes it possible for us to support so many charities.
‘Last year alone, BGC Charity Day raised over $12 million globally and we are proud to be building on that this year.’
