The 34-year-old actress looked stylish as ever in a baggy black sweater with a pink and green detailing at the neck, which she teamed with coordinating trousers and chic heels.

Laura and her ex-husband Sam announced their decision to split after six years of marriage in August. At the time, the pair posted a joint statement that said they were moving forward with "nothing but love". Laura's appearance at the exclusive party comes shortly after Sam, 33, revealed he has been keeping busy with anything that can "distract" him since the split. Asked what he likes to watch when his two children are asleep, he told Radio Times: "I love the characters and the world that I'm not that familiar with."

"We found out we had the same agent and then bumped into each other the next morning at [a London Underground] station. I didn't know anything about her other than that her name was Laura, she was very attractive and she seemed lovely. But I went home, woke my friend up at 7am and said, 'I just met the girl I want to marry. I love this girl like, I love her. She's perfect'."
