The Mask of Zorro actor Antonio turned heads as he sauntered through the grid in a casual white shirt and dark trousers, with a denim jacket slung over his arm.

But Dutch investment consultant Nicole, 34, also caught the eye in a simple cream top and ripped jeans.

The couple were at the first Formula E race - or ePrix - to take place on London on Saturday, which was the penultimate round of the motorsport's inaugural championship.

Formula E is similar to Formula 1 with the cars looking almost identical, however they are battery powered and cannot race for as long.

It has been a fun weekend for Hollywood star Antonio, who took Nicole to exclusive restaurant the Chiltern Firehouse on Friday night.

The romantic outing at the celebrity hotspot comes around a year after the pair got together following the actor's split from second wife Melanie Griffith.

The former couple, who have 18-year-old daughter Stella, confirmed in June last year that they were splitting due to 'irreconcilable differences' after 19 years of marriage.

They sold the Los Angeles mansion they shared for $15.9million after buying the 1.5 acre, seven bedroom, seven bath Hancock Park estate for just $4.2million in 1999.

Antonio was not the only famous face to make an appearance at the race, with model and motoring buff Jodie Kidd presenting trophies to the drivers on the podium.

Torn singer Natalie Imbruglia was also seen at the ePrix, chatting to children on what was a wet day in London.

Luckily Natalie, 40, appeared to have dodged the rain, with her hair still looking perfect as she stepped out at the event in a thin white gown and suede ankle boots.

On Saturday Will.I.Am visited the track, posing for photographs in his trademark sunglasses and hat with Virgin tycoon Richard Branson.

Branson, whose company run a team in the Formula E Championship, said the sport would soon be more popular than Formula 1, which is competed in by the likes of Lewis Hamilton.
