Although Count Nikolai von Bismarck hails from a German noble family, he was looking more rough and ready as he attended Kate Moss’ birthday brunch.
The photographer, 37, was spotted sporting a huge hole in his shoe as he departed the Ritz hotel in Paris before heading for brunch at Brasserie Lipp restaurant.
Nikolai was wearing a pair of brown suede boots that had clearly seen better days, which he styled with a longline coat, a shirt and trousers.
Meanwhile, Kate, who was turning 50, looked typically glamorous in a black mini dress, which was teamed with tights and heeled boots.
The supermodel wore her blonde locks loose and accessorised with a pair of Wayfarer style shades.
