Tilda brought her usually eccentric sense of style to the evening out in London, wearing a beige PVC co-ord and black polo neck. Adding a quirky twist to her stylish look, Tilda slipped on a pair of dramatic black pointed-toe shoes with an elegant ankle tie.

As for her glam, the Ballad of a Small Prayer star’s immaculately bleached platinum locks were slicked back, her look punctuated with a pop of vibrant red lipstick. Meanwhile, Sandro, a distinguished German visual artist known for his Skype portraits and oil paintings, looked handsome wearing a velvet suit and red tie.

The couple reside in Nairn, Scotland, in the home Tilda famously shared with her former partner, the acclaimed playwright and artist John Byrne, who sadly passed away in November 2023.
Tilda has often spoken fondly of the family dynamic they shared before his death, previously telling The Daily Mail: “The father of my children and I are good friends and I’m now in a very happy other relationship.”

Tilda also said that Sandro and John have a good friendship. ‘It’s all quite boring really. The father of my children [playwright John Byrne] and I are good friends and I’m now in a very happy other relationship.
“And we’re all really good friends. It’s a very happy situation. Life doesn’t have to be complicated. You just have to have compassion with yourself and stop blaming yourself when things do get complicated.”
