Robbie Williams put on a dashing display in a lilac suit as he was joined by his wife Ayda Field at a glitzy New York gala on Thursday.

The former Take That singer, 50, was at the Tiffany & Co. store in The Landmark Building, Manhattan, to unveil the trophy for the FIFA Club World Cup, a football compeтιтion set to be held in the United States this summer.

Robbie, whose biopic Better Man came out in the US last week, looked slick in his wide-lapelled double-breasted suit which he paired with a lilac shirt and a thick silver chain worn over his collar.

American actress Ayda, 45, meanwhile opted for an all-black look, teaming a slightly-cropped black ʙuттoned blouse with some black flared trousers. 

She accessorised with a series of silver bangles worn on her left wrist. 

The appearance in The Big Apple comes just days after the pair were forced to flee Los Angeles after wildfires ravaged the city.

Ayda, who is a regular guest panellist on ITV’s Loose Women, gave the show and viewers at home an update on her situation.

She explained that she had been evacuated along with ten others and that her parents had potentially lost all their belongings, along with their home.

She added that her main concern was her mother Gwen, who is battling cervical cancer, and was due to continue her chemotherapy treatment tomorrow.

Her message read: ‘It’s chaos here – it looks like some kind of warzone and it’s just all so sad.

‘I’ve had about ten people evacuated with me including my dad, who has potentially lost his house.

‘We’re waiting to hear whether he has in fact lost everything and my mum has chemo early tomorrow too.’

Host Charlene White told viewers that Ayda’s news came as Robbie had been excited for the LA premiere of his biopic A Better Man, which was due to be screened in the city on January 9.

She added that due to the shocking scenes in LA, the premiere had been cancelled.

Robbie shared a video on Wednesday evening in LA, sitting in what looked like a H๏τel room.

‘Hey guys I’m sat in 90210 in Los Angeles waking up to lots of my friends’ houses disappearing. I’m just sending loads of love and power and strength to the firefighters right now who are doing an incredible job. Stay safe everybody and lots of love.’

Robbie and Ayda sold ther LA mansion for £51.6million last year, with the couple now cutting ties with Hollywood and residing in London.

He purchased the huge property, which sits on 1.95 acres, in uber-rich Holmby Hills for £39.3million in March 2022.

Dubbed the ‘Funny Girl’ Estate, the property was originally constructed in 1938 for the renowned comedian Fanny Brice. 

The death toll of the fires rose to 27 overnight as the search continues for human remains in the levelled neighborhoods and properties face new dangers with burned slopes at risk of landslides and charred debris laden with asbestos and other toxins. 

Robbie has been promoting Better Man in the US this month and he took his love for Ayda to new heights on Tuesday as they posed for snaps at the Empire State Building. 

The outing came just days after the singer won a battle with his neighbours to cut down a fungus-riddled tree at his £17 million London mansion, which is nextdoor to Led Zeppelin star Jimmy Page’s home.

When asked about his parents’ thoughts on the film, Robbie told HELLO! ‘My mum’s currently got dementia – like my nan in the film – and my dad’s got Parkinson’s and can’t get out of bed. So I’m in a different part of my life right now.’

Back in 2020 Robbie revealed his father Pete had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, admitting at the time that he was fighting ‘fear and panic’ over his father’s diagnosis.

He told The Mirror that receiving the diagnosis during Covid made things extra difficult as he and his wife Ayda and their children were self-isolating thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles.

The singer said: ‘We’ve got a lot of family issues right now. My dad has got Parkinson’s, my mother-in-law who I love dearly has got a very big illness. We can’t get to them. My dad is thousands of miles away.’

Robbie added of his mum at the time: ‘My mum is just a year short of 80 and she’s in isolation and I can see the things whirling in her mind and her eyes going.’
