She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.

And Lily James cut a chic figure as she joined Elle Macpherson at Dior’s runway show in Kyoto, Japan on Tuesday night. 

The actress, 36, showed off her sophisticated sense of style in a plunging black dress as she posed at the event held at the Toji Temple.

She boosted her height with pearl-adorned heels and accessorised with gold hoop earrings while styling her honey tresses into perfect waves. 

Model Elle, 61, meanwhile wore a gorgeous silk embroidered white jacket which she teamed with wide-leg trousers. 

She clutched a small white handbag from the luxury brand and sported a perfect bouncy blow dry.

Lily’s appearance at the fashion show comes after she celebrated her 36th birthday earlier this month at a Michelin-starred restaurant in North London with her famous friends.

The star splashed out on a private dining room at modern Italian restaurant, Luca, not far from Lily’s Grade-II listed £3million home.

Hiring a private space at the lavish eatery which has a minimum spend of £650, with the chef’s fixed menu, including a wine pairing with each course, costs nearly £200 per person.

Lily was all smiles as she was joined by several close friends including her Mamma Mia! co-star, Dominic Cooper, his girlfriend, actress Gemma Chan, actress Gala Gordon and socialite Poppy Delevingne, older sister of model Cara.

Gala and Poppy took to Instagram to share pictures showing Lily looking happier than ever as she celebrated her day. 

She looked relaxed in a khaki sleeveless dress cut away at the waist, showing off her slender frame.

The Surrey-born star and her friends drank champagne and red wine while feasting on a menu with mouth-watering items including £68 beef ribeye, £49 lamb with spiky artichoke and pine nuts and fresh pasta dishes such as £46 prawn taglierini.

At the end of the meal, Lily was treated to a big white birthday cake adorned with multi-coloured candles, meringue balls and an icing pH๏τo of herself as a child in an early acting role.

‘Keep shining my girl – this is your year,’ her close friend Gala, 34, captioned a video online.

Gala is an executive producer of Swiped, the film starring Lily as Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble, due out this year. Gala is also co-founder of a film production company, Parados Productions, with Lily.

Poppy, 38, shared a video of her and Lily playing around in a lift, with a soundtrack of the quote: ‘You are by the far the baddest, raddest, Sєxiest, most far-out kick-a** chick that I’ve ever met!’

It is a line said by actor Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee to Lily’s Pamela Anderson in the 2022 TV series, Pam and Tommy. ‘You really f****** are,’ wrote Poppy, who is heavily pregnant with her first child – a girl – by her billionaire boyfriend, Archie Keswick. ‘Happy birthday beautiful LILS. Love you to Pluto.’

Lily, who has previously been in long-term relationships with actor Matt Smith and US musician Michael Shuman, did not appear to be joined by a date at her birthday bash.

The star’s relationship with Michael was first revealed in February 2021 when they were spotted kissing outside a boutique H๏τel in England while she filmed What’s Love Got To Do With It.

The Tom & Pammy star was last romantically linked to musician Michael in late 2023.

Currently single, she was pictured last month leaving a restaurant in Paris with Chris Jones, the well-connected brother of film director Emma Holly Jones.

In February, she was pH๏τographed leaving a BAFTA party in Mayfair with Hollywood star Glen Powell, and in December last year, she was spotted at the celebrity hangout Chiltern Firehouse with American billionaire Brian Chesky – chief executive of Airbnb.

On her birthday, Lily re-posted her horoscope on her Instagram stories. It read: ‘Be an active participant in your life. Believe in change. Believe that a month, a year can change anything. 

‘Believe in new beginnings. Believe in fresh starts. Believe in healing through and beyond. You are not your past. You are not your current circumstances. Believe in renewal.’
