Claudia Winkleman put on an animated display with her husband Kris Thykier, as they hopped into a taxi after the Charles Finch and Chanel pre-BAFTA party.
The Traitors host and her rarely seen partner, both 54, appeared in high spirits as they left the exclusive 5 Hertford Street Club on Saturday.
Claudia oozed sophistication in a black velvet blazer, teamed with a white shirt and leggings.
She added inches to her frame with pointed black boots, completing her look with a bold swipe of red lipstick and a black clutch.
Meanwhile, Kris cut a dapper figure in a black velvet jacket with a grey tie and smart trousers.
The pair made their way into a taxi at the end of an evening of celebrating before Sunday's main ceremony.

It comes after Claudia revealed her beloved spaniel sleeps in bed with her and film producer husband 'every night.'
She told The Sun: 'He sleeps in our bed, we chat to him constantly, I kiss his paws and we can no longer go anywhere without him.'
Claudia met her husband through mutual friends in 2000, and they married later that year.
They keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but they have been married for over two decades, sharing three children and working in the entertainment industry.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Claudia is joining the Channel 4 presenting team for Crufts just months after giving up her glittering Strictly mic.
The TV host - who, with Tess Daly, 56, quit co-hosting BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in December 2025 - is thrilled to bring the four days of action from the world's most famous dog show at Birmingham's NEC, to viewers.
Claudia - who will work alongside broadcaster Clare Balding, Paralympic champion swimmer Ellie Simmonds and TV presenter Radzi Chinyanganya - said: 'I absolutely love dogs and there is literally nowhere else on earth I'd rather be.
'I can't wait to join this incredible team, and I'm so grateful to Channel 4 for allowing me to be part of it. I have a pocket rammed with treats.'
