Paul, also 29 and said to be in the running to play James Bond, looked suitably dapper in a black tux.

Fellow screen stars Ellie Bamber, in a risque see-through number, and Marisa Abela were also there.

Emma is being lined up to play Keira Knightley’s role in Pride And Prejudice.

The Crown actor is the favourite of script writer Dolly Alderton to portray Elizabeth Bennet in an upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel.

A script for the series, which is in early development at Netflix, is being written by Everything I Know About Love author Dolly.

Keira, 39, played the lead role in the 2005 big screen version.

A source said: “Dolly is working on a Pride And Prejudice script for Netflix and thinks Emma would be perfect to play Elizabeth.

"Dolly is also very progressive and forward-thinking, so thinks that having a non-binary star in the role would be a brilliant move.”

Emma came out as non-binary in 2021, saying they felt “more seen” when referred to as “they.”

Last year, Emma said: “It’s not a rejection of femininity or masculinity, it’s sort of an embrace of both.

"My experience on this earth has been a female one, up until recently, and I still love all those parts of me.

“But I would love to play non-binary, new parts, male parts.”
