Claudia Winkleman stepped out with her pal Courteney Cox for a swanky lunch in Mayfair, London, on Monday.
The Traitors presenter, 52, joined the Friends actress, 59 for a bite to eat at Michelin-starred restaurant Locanda Locatelli near Bond Street.
The ladies were accompanied by their partners, Courteney’s partner, the singer and songwriter Johnny McDaid and Claudia’s husband Kris Thykier.
Courteney looked chic in a quilted velvet black coat which she teamed with leather leggings and stylish boots.
Her Snow Patrol star partner Johnny wore a smart jacket and light blue jeans as she strolled beside her on the outing.

Claudia shares three children, 21, Matilda, 17 and Arthur, 12 with her film producer husband Kris. Arthur joined them for the day out.
After the lunch the couples went their separate ways as Claudia took her pet pooch out on the jaunt.
The pair have been friends for years and last year A-list Hollywood actress Courteney begged Claudia to let her take part in the second series of The Traitors.
The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological reality competition where 22 strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
Harry Clark won the second series which finished in dramatic fashion last week.
Last year after series one, the BBC One Twitter account shared a video where she confirmed series two was on its way and inviting fans of the show to apply for series two.
But it appeared none other than Courteney was a fan as she begged the presenter to let her take part.

In the video, Claudia appears alongside a hooded figure as she made the announcement.
She said: ‘I have some news. Traitors series 2 is coming, would you like to get involved? Just visit BBC Take Part page and I might see you in the castle.’
Courteney then revealed herself by pulling her hood down and asking: ‘Claudia, can I please do it?’
Claudia replied: ‘I’ve said to you before, no. You cannot apply if you’re a celebrity or as famous as this one. Now, off you go.’
Several Twitter users were impressed with the reveal, with one writing: ‘You’d never be able to guess who was under the cape’.
Another said: ‘Claudia and Courteney? I was not expecting that one,’ while a third added: ‘Did not expect this reveal’.

Announcing the second series at the end of February 2023, Claudia said: ‘I can’t wait to go back to the castle to watch people play the greatest game on television.
‘I’m knitting a high funnel sweater immediately.’
In a video posted to Instagram, Claudia also encouraged potential contestants to apply. She said: I’ve got a small question for you and yes the cloak might be giving it away.’
She then asked: ‘Here’s the thing. Can you spot a liar? Could you betray those around you? How would you fare at the round table? What I’m asking is would you like to play? I’ll see you at the castle.’
