Petra Ecclestone and her husband Sam Palmer celebrated Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, by stepping out for a late night dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
The heiress, 35, dressed to the nines for her romantic date night with the real estate agent, 39, and showed off her classy style.
Petra showcased her incredible figure in a dark brown silk maxi dress that clung to her slender frame.
The socialite layered a trendy brown leather jacket over the top and toted her essentials in a contrasting white handbag.
Elevating her height in a pair of strappy high heels, she swept her hair up into an elegant updo and completed her chic look with a slick of red lipgloss.

The daughter of Bernie Ecclestone recently ditched her signature blonde hair and dyed it a deep auburn.
While her husband Sam cut a dapper figure in a pair of charcoal grey slacks with a beige jumper underneath.
He added a smart white blazer over the top and opted for more casual footwear, donning grey suede trainers.
Petra and Sam tied the knot in July 2022, enjoying a lavish ceremony at Petra’s £170 million London mansion, but now live together in Los Angeles.
They share daughter Millie, three, together and Petra’s daughter Lavinia, 11, and twin boys James and Andrew, eight, from her marriage to ex husband James Stunt.
However, Petra recently came under fire for encouraging her eldest daughter to take part in a beauty pageant.
Lavinia made her debut in the Ideal Miss California & West Coast competition this month, with the blessing of her mother.
Wearing a crown, a Disney princess-style ballgown, heels and a ‘Miss West Coast’ sash, Lavinia took a twirl on stage at the Downey Theatre in Los Angeles and posed for cameras and judges in full make-up.

Petra shared the moment to her Instagram, and was every inch the doting pageant parent, declaring she was ‘a very proud mummy’.
She wrote: ‘I am so privileged to be your mum, I will always cheer you on to follow your dreams, never judge you and always love you.’
But judgment soon came in droves from concerned followers, with one writing: ‘This is insane, she is only a child’ and another echoing: ‘Why would you do this to your child?’
However, Sam fired back: ‘She wanted to and we support her. I suppose it’s what being a parent is all about.’
While defenders of the industry insist it instils young girls with confidence, critics argue that beauty pageants are exploitative and enforce the message that pretty looks are all-important.
It comes as Petra is preparing to launch an online pre-teen beauty and fashion boutique named Crickle Daisy, with Lavinia as the face of the brand.
