Lucien Laviscount turned up the heat at Monday night’s Fashion Awards in a fiery red velvet suit after snaps of him cosying up with Jesy Nelson on a rickshaw ride surfaced.
The Waterloo Road actor, who is set to appear in the hotly-anticipated second season of Emily in Paris for Netflix, put his best fashion foot forward at the event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, which saw him rub shoulders with the likes of Priyanka Chopras and Nick Jonas, Dua Lipa, Billie Piper, Demi Moore and Kate Beckinsale.
Lucien’s bold red ensemble featured sharp wide lapels on his jacket and flared trousers, paired with a low-cut black vest top and black shoes.
The 29-year-old completed his look with a delicate necklace set with ring pendants.
Lucien seemed to navigate the event’s crowded red carpet with ease, posing for photographers with a half-smile in some pictures and smouldering down the lens in others.
He and Boyz singer Jesy had set tongues wagging with their night out together, as pictures obtained by the Daily Mail showed the former Little Mix star looking lovingly at Lucien during a trip around London.

She appeared to lean in for a kiss at one point, with the pair looking cosy in the back of the rickshaw, alongside a pal.
According to the publication, the budding lovebirds kicked off their evening at Yatay, in Soho, before heading to nightclub Tabu, in Mayfair.
However, yesterday Jesy was said to be ‘mortified’ by the pictures of their flirtation as the Snatch star was previously linked to her ex-bandmate, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, in 2012.

‘Jesy and Lucien met up on a night out after two friendship groups came together and took a rickshaw to the club but left separately,’ a source told MailOnline.
‘She was letting her hair down on a Saturday night and is embarrassed her flirtation with Lucien has come to light – but there is nothing more between them.
They added that Jesy ‘insisted’ she and Lucien didn’t kiss ‘even though they looked close in the pictures.’
Another source also told The Sun that they just happened to cross paths during separate nights out, and are definitely not dating.
‘Jesy is single. She and Lucien were at separate clubs on different nights out, but shared a rickshaw ride across London,’ they said.
‘They weren’t kissing and now Jesy’s seen the photos, she’s absolutely mortified.

‘They’re not boyfriend and girlfriend – they just ran into each other on a night out.’
Jesy was most recently linked to former boyfriend Harry James, with speculation that they had jetted out to Antigua earlier this year on a romantic trip.
However, in a very candid chat with The Guardian, Jesy vowed that she is totally single and has no plans to get into another relationship any time soon.
‘I like waking up and knowing this day is just for me and I don’t need to worry about anyone but me,’ she vowed.

‘I’m really not looking for a relationship anymore.
‘Part of me feels I should be single forever because in relationships you have to sacrifice so much.’
