Olivia Wilde made her first public outing with Ellie Goulding’s ex-husband Caspar Jopling at W Magazine’s New York Fashion Week party this week.
The actress, 41, who was spotted in a passionate clinch with the art dealer, 33, last week, is said to have been dating him since July with the pair enjoying a series of ‘under the radar’ in Notting Hill.
Attending the event on Thursday at members-only social club, Chez Margaux, Olivia was seen chatting with her new flame outside.
She wore a quirky, semi-sheer gown which featured dramatic fluted sleeves and a ruffled skirt.
The director draped a fur stole over one shoulder and topped off her outfit with a pair of chunky heels.
Meanwhile, Caspar looked smart in a black shirt which he teamed with smart trousers.

Last week, the couple spent three hours having a meal and drinking red wine at The Pelican restaurant in the West London enclave before their passionate embrace outside the venue.
Sources said Caspar, who split from Ellie, 38, after nearly five years of marriage last year, is an investor in the restaurant and its nearby sister pub, The Fat Badger, allowing him to date Olivia in relative privacy.
The source told Daily Mail: ‘Those pubs have allowed Caspar to date a world-famous actress under the radar for months.
‘They always manage to get the best tables – little concealed spots in dark corners reserved for celebrities.
‘They tend to go to The Fat Badger for date nights because it’s an invitation-only pub, with a secret smoking terrace upstairs.’
Notting Hill was also where Ellie was seen on a date with her new boyfriend, 28-year-old American actor Beau Minniear, who is ten years her junior.
Olivia previously dated pop star Harry Styles after breaking off her seven-year engagement to Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, with whom she has two children.

Born in Yorkshire and educated at Eton, Caspar’s father is the Honourable Nicholas Jopling, whose own father is politician Thomas Michael Jopling, a member of the House of Lords.
His uncle, who no doubt inspired his career, is renowned art dealer Jay Jopling who runs online art platform Paddle 8, where Capsar’s pal Princess Eugenie worked in New York, before moving back to London.
Jay was previously married to director Sam Taylor Johnson, with whom he shares daughters Jessie, 18, and Angelica, 27.
Caspar’s parents divorced and his mother Jayne Warde-Aldam went on to wed Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam.
The aristocratic family own Grade II listed building Frickley Hall, which dates back to 1760. Well known in equestrian circles they host their very own Frickley Horse Trials.
