David Tennant, 52, looked dapper in a colourful shirt to attend the after party for his new stage production of Macbeth.
David, of course, plays the title role in what is said to be William Shakespeare’s darkest play.
The adaptation is directed by Max Webster, also known for Life Of Pi and Henry V.
Making sure he stood out from the crowd, David’s Friday night ensemble consisted of a bold shirt, which he left unbuttoned at the top and wore with tan trousers.

He was joined by his glamorous co-star Cush Jumbo, 38, who plays Lady Macbeth in the extraordinary psychological drama
The actor posed next to his co-star Cush Jambo, 38.
Cush, who plays Lady Macbeth in the psychological drama, looked the epitome of chic in a low cut floral dress, that boasted lilac lace detailing around the bust area.
She wore open toe black sandals and a dark palette of eye makeup.
Her blonde buzz cut showed off her striking features as she cosied up to the former Doctor Who star.
The Good Wife actress is a heavyweight theatre star as she previously starred in Hamlet at the Young Vic a few years back – after what she was described by the former New York Times theatre critic Ben Brantley as radiating ‘that unquantifiable force of hunger, drive, talent usually called star power’.
According to the synopsis of Max Webster’s Macbeth, the production is a ‘spellbinding story of love and murder, the renewing power of nature, and of the internal struggles of a damaged man as he tries to control his destiny’.
TimeOut revealed that the production – which is set to continue for the whole winter season – will use binaural technology to create ‘an intense and unnerving 3D sound world’.

David Tennant is currently starring at the Donmar Warehouse’s stage as Macbeth alongside Cush Jumbo
On Friday the duo showcased their acting skills as they put on a moving performance for a revival of Shakespeare’s most extraordinary psychological drama
According to the description the gory play portrays a ‘spellbinding story of love and murder, the renewing power of nature, and of the internal struggles of a damaged man as he tries to control his destiny’
Chatting to The Guardian, David said of his latest work: ‘I thought I knew this play very well and that it was, unlike any other Shakespeare I can remember rehearsing, straightforward.
‘But each time I come to a scene, it goes in a direction I wasn’t expecting. It has such muscle to it, it powers along. Plot-wise, it’s more front-footed than any Shakespeare play I’ve done.’
Talking about her character Lady Macbeth, Cush said: ‘She is deeply ingrained in our culture. Everyone thinks they know who she is. Most people studied the play at school. I did – I hated it. It was so boring but that’s because Shakespeare’s plays aren’t meant to be read, they’re meant to be acted.
‘People think they know Lady Macbeth as a type – the strong, controlling woman who pushed him to do it. She does things women shouldn’t do. The greatest misconception is that we have stopped seeing Lady Macbeth as a human being.’
Earlier this week Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has revealed that there are ‘no plans’ for David Tennant to return in the new series.
The actor reprised his role as the Time Lord for a trio of Specials to celebrate the BBC show’s 60th Anniversary, with a twist in the third and final episode leaving The Fourteenth Doctor to embrace a new life on Earth.
