Jodie Kidd looked chic in a silk blue blouse as she joined Will Poulter at the E1 London Showrun on Wednesday.
The model and actress, 46, looked classy in the sleeveless top which she paired with high-waisted Holland and Cooper white trousers. She added in a pair of white leather trainers and accessorised with a black watch and a myriad of necklaces.
Meanwhile Will, 32, looked incredible as he wore a Homme Plisse Issey Miyake two-piece suit, worth £1,180. The We're The Millers star layered his suit over a white T-shirt and a pair of white Nike trainers.
The pair stepped out to celebrate the Bombay Sapphire's partnership with the UIM E1 World Championship, the world's first and only all-electric raceboat Championship.
Jodie and Will enjoyed drinks from gin goblets while toasting the collaboration.
Jodie was sure to put her model credentials on show at the bash where she put on a stunning display in the elegant ensemble.
She posed for pictures in just her blouse and her shirt before later slipping into a blazer to complete the suited and booted look.
The E1 RaceBirds appeared on the Thames for the first time where founders Alejandro Agag and Rodi Basso first came up with the idea during a socially distanced run.
E1 founder and Chief Executive Officer, Rodi Basso said: 'I'm humbled by this full-circle moment, seeing the E1 RaceBirds take flight on the Thames.
'With London being the birthplace of the idea for the Championship, it feels only right that the city gets to experience E1 firsthand for itself in such an iconic destination.
'Below the surface of E1's adrenaline-fuelled electric racing series lies a mission to promote the restoration and protecting of our coastal waters and ecosystems through cutting-edge clean technologies.
'Witnessing the innovative E1 RaceBirds on this famous waterway gives me great hope E1 can make as lasting impact and usher in a more sustainable future of marine transport through our pioneering technology.'
E1 is currently around the mid-point of the seven-race 2025 season, with the London Showrun taking place off the back of a landmark partnership deal with Bombay Sapphire.
Following the departure of the E1 RaceBirds from London, they will be migrating to Monaco, the iconic home of racing, for the Championship's fifth race.
After that, the Championship will break new ground in Africa, with the lively coastline of Lagos hosting the penultimate race of the championship.
The highly anticipated finale will take place in Miami, where one team will be crowned the 2025 'Champions of the Water'.
Jodie's fiancé Joseph Bates was noticably missing from the event after the pair were spotted packing on the PDA in London earlier this year.
Jodie and Joseph have been together for eight years, first being seen together in Barbados in October 2017, after she accompanied him on a disaster relief mission to Dominica after Hurricane Irma.
The former marine and special forces soldier then popped the question four years later during a romantic trip to Paris.
Confirming the happy news in December 2021, Jodie shared a photo flashing her sparkling ring while kissing Joseph in front of the Arc de Triomphe, with the caption: 'I said Yes'.
It marks Jodie's third engagement, after splitting from her first husband, internet entrepreneur Aidan Butler, after 18 months in 2007 and second husband David Blakeley in 2015 after just four months.
She is also mum to 13-year-old son, Indio, by her ex-partner, former Argentinian polo player Andrea Vianini, while Joseph also has a son from a previous relationship.
However, the pair are yet to tie the knot four years on, previously admitting 'it's been a bit of a whirlwind the last couple of years'.
Speaking to OK! in October, Jodie confessed the pair have still not set a date to become husband and wife as they are too busy.
She said: 'Oh my God, it is going very slowly. Very slowly! Nothing is happening in the immediate future and not because I don't want it to, but I am just so busy.
'I think it would be too much trying to arrange a wedding right now. Hopefully, next year.'
Revealing the secret to their long-standing romance, she explained: 'We've got just such a wonderful, balanced, supportive relationship. Those are the best ones. We always make time for date nights. We have a little date routine where we go to the cinema together.
'We have to run as a team, and we do that beautifully. We always make time for each other. We always try to do things together as much as we can.
'So, you know, if we're going on the school run, we'll do it together. Dinner time is really important. The whole family comes around the table and helps to cook, and we talk about our day, and have a laugh.'
While Jodie added that their children have made them even closer, gushing: 'We've both got a son, so we just have to work as a team but they are intertwined literally. They're so beautiful as well.'
