In July, Talulah Riley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster became engaged.
And the betrothed couple, aged 38 and 33 respectively, looked as loved-up as ever as they enjoyed a day at the races on the final day of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival.
On Friday, the St Trinian’s star complemented her Love Actually actor fiancé by sporting country-inspired attire, comprising elegant coats and leather boots.
Talulah, who was married to Elon Musk from 2013 to 2016, was a vision in her chic look, comprising a feather rimmed fedora and a belted brown coat.
It was a day of the stars at the annual event, as they were joined by Ed Westwick, Amy Jackson, Good Morning Britain star Laura Tobin and DIY SOS frontman Nick Knowles, who was flanked by his stunning girlfriend Katie Dadzie at the day.

Talulah and Thomas became engaged last year, after which her two-time ex-husband Elon Musk congratulated her on his own social media platform site.
The world’s richest man, 52, commented ‘Congratulations’ with a love heart beneath her confirmation post, in which she shared a cosy selfie with her fiancé.
While Talulah chose Twitter as her method of confirmation, with a selfie alongside the words: ‘Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!’, Thomas took to Instagram.
Alongside a shot of the duo on a gondola, Thomas wrote: ‘Happy to announce that Talulah and I are engaged. Love is all around X’, in a reference to his most iconic role in 2003’s Love Actually, where the Troggs’ track Love Is All Around features.
Talulah married Elon in 2010 after meeting in 2008 shortly after his split from wife Justine Long. They divorced two years later, before remarrying in 2013.
The billionaire filed for divorce in 2014, then withdrew the filing. Two years later, Riley filed for a divorce which was finalised later that year. The couple met at London nightclub Whisky Mist and Musk wooed her by talking about rockets.
Riley said of their first meeting in the new BBC documentary: ‘My first impressions were that he was very sweet, he seemed quite shy. He said “may I put my hand on your knee” and I said, “OK go on then”, I thought it was quite sweet that he asked.’
Last year, the Jockey Club scrapped its strict dress code at its racecourses in the hopes of encouraging a younger crowd to racing events, with jeans and trainers no longer looked down upon, and ‘come dressed to feel your best’ guidance in place.

The formal dress codes – which often included a jacket and tie – were dropped in an effort to make horseracing more ‘accessible and inclusive’, the Jockey Club said in an announcement.
The only exceptions to the new policy at any of the 342 fixtures staged by The Jockey Club is offensive fancy dress or offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports shirts.
In previous years men would wear suits and women would wear smart dresses and heels, while jeans and trainers were usually avoided.
But this year, stilettos have been traded in for chunky boots, and traditional long dresses have been hiked up. Noughties fashion seemed to be in vogue, with people opting for rara skirts and blazers.
For today’s race meeting, The Paddy Power Stayer’s Hurdle is the headline act at 15:30 where Teahupoo is hoping to go a couple of places better than last season when denied by stablemate Sire Du Berlais who also lines up again.
It is the most open of the Festival’s feature races with winners tough to predict.
Three previous Stayers’ Hurdle winners line up — Paisley Park, Flooring Porter, who has twice been successful, and last year’s scorer Sire Du Berlais.
Gordon Elliott’s Teahupoo finished third last year and returns a more mature and complete athlete at the age of seven, the age of five of the past seven winners.
