Rumoured to have split from boyfriend of five years Matt Smith, actress Lily James put on a brave face as she arrived at the 2019 British Independent Film Awards. Seen for the first time since news of her breakup came through, the actress, 30, arrived at the event held in Old Billingsgate, London.

It was also revealed that Matt had 'formed a close friendship with The Crown co-star Claire Foy following their split', and Lily put the news behind her as she arrived in style at the event. Clad in a black suede maxi dress, the star went in sync with the velvet and suede trend going on these days, and opted for a sleek ensemble from the Alessandra Rich SS2020 Collection.

Glamorous and making a statement, Lily made a statement in her Alessandra Rich design, and the designer is famed for the use of luxury fabrics and classic detailing. Lily's dress also featured satin cuffs and crystal buttons, and the star also added ankle-strap heels and a matching purse to go with her outfit for the event.
