Kiera Chaplin put on an effortlessly chic display as she joined her family for a family lunch in London on Friday.
The model and the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, 41, appeared to be in jovial spirits as she arrived in style at Lusin in Mayfair.
She was joined by her mother Bernadette – married to actor Charlie’s son Eugene – and her siblings Shannon, Spencer and India. Shannon’s young daughter Nora, who she shares with her partner Kevin, also joined the group.
For the occasion, Kiera looked elegant in a turtleneck white jumper and fitted red trousers, which she styled with a leather look jacket.
She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of grey over-the-knee suede boots and kept her essentials in a small blue quilted handbag.

Kiera smiled for photographs with her mother Bernadette, known as Bernie, who looked stylish in black trousers and a blue printed top.
Kiera, who is also the great-granddaughter of American dramatist Eugene O’Neill, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and grew up in Coriser-sur-Vevey, Switzerland.
She moved to Paris at the age of 16 and signed with NEXT Model Management, beginning her career in the modelling industry.
Kiera has previously spoken about her grandfather Charlie in interviews, saying there was a statue of him in the Swiss town where she was raised.
She told the San Francisco Gate in 2006: ‘I grew up in the same town in Switzerland where my grandfather lived from the time he fled the US in the 1950’s until the end of his life, so there was a Charlie Chaplin statue and a Charlie Chaplin park, and a bar named after him.
‘I remember thinking, “OK, I know he was a famous actor, but is that our park because our names are on it? Is that our bar?” ‘
She revealed it was only after undertaking some research she discovered just how influential her relatives were.

Fame: Comic filmmaker Charlie Chaplin, who rose to fame in the silent film era, had 11 children
She said: ‘I remember being a young girl in school and looking in the dictionary and seeing the names “Charlie Chaplin” and “Eugene O’Neill” and starting to realize little by little that, my God, they were both immensely important to the whole world, not just our family.’
Charlie had 11 children, including his son Norman, who was born on July 7, 1919 and was the child of the actor and Mildred Harris, but sadly died three days later.
Charlie was then married to Paulette Goddard but they had no children together, and he later had sons Charles Spencer Jr and Sydney with American actress Lita Grey.
Charlie then had eight children – Geraldine, Josephine, Michael, Victoria, Eugene, Jane, Annette and Christopher – with actress Oona O’Neill, his fourth and final wife.
