Cate Blanchett was naturally the guest of honour at the IWC Schaffhausen Dinner in Honour of the BFI at Rosewood London on Wednesday night.
Cosying up inside the London bash - their first public appearance since the shock announcement in early September - the pair looked closer than ever at the Google launch on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old Scottish crooner has opened up about living with Emily, 17, in the plush £3.6million X Factor mansion, adding that the step has 'definitely fast-forwarded' their relationship.
The couple looked extremely happy together on Tuesday while on the set of the actor's latest project in Los Angeles.

REVIEWS
FILM
LIBBY PURVES: Todd Phillips's War Dogs boasts unusual subtlety of character for a film about gun-runners. The Night Manager made us imagine arms dealers as smooth sophisticates...
Credit where credit's due: the first few minutes of Tod Williams's thriller-horror, based on a Stephen King novel, are brilliantly unsettling.
The return of Matt Damon, and of director Paul Greengrass, brings back all the exhilarating if rather po-faced entertainment to a movie series that seemed to have run out of puff, writes BRIAN VINER.
The Commune is apparently inspired by Thomas Vinterberg's own experience of growing up under the same roof as other middle-class families, writes BRIAN VINER.
The American author JT LeRoy is widely described, not least in this documentary, as a literary sensation. Which is all very well, unless you haven't actually heard of him, writes BRIAN VINER.
This is a decent follow-up to the 2013 original and again features Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as crucifix- waving American ghostbusters Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Still a Funny Girl, with a little help from her friends: Barbra Streisand's Encore is a theatrical tour de force, writes ADRIAN THRILLS
The first Barbra Streisand album for two years finds one of Broadway's greatest singing stars going back to show tunes. Subtitled Movie Partners Sing Broadway, it is witty, theatrical and corny.

BON IVER
22, A Million (Jagjaguwar)
Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) dispenses with any conventional song titles or structures on an album that reverses his recent move towards the mainstream. The Wisconsin singer is a friend of Kanye West they played together at Glastonbury and the rappers influence is evident in his electronically enhanced falsetto vocals. Adele hailed Vernons last album as the soundtrack to my heart. She may not feel the same about this one, but it is still beguiling.

CRAIG DAVID
Following My Intuition (Insanity)
Craig Davids unlikely return marks 2016s most astonishing resurgence. A teenage star when his first album sold eight million, he was turned into a national joke after being mercilessly lampooned on the Bo Selecta! TV series. But heady comeback single When The Bassline Drops put him back in the charts, and he offers a familiar mix of pop, R&B; and two-step garage beats here. One track, 16, even references his 2000 single Fill Me In.

WALLIS BIRD
Home (Mount Silver)
Wallis Birds powerful voice veers from a whisper to a frenzied scream, and the Irish singer-songwriter uses it to dazzling effect on an album of raw, confessional love songs on which she also plays most of the instruments. The stripped-back title track is sung a capella, but a move from Dublin to Berlin has furnished her with a more European perspective, with the jazz-rock of her early records giving way to pulsing electronics on Odom.

KT TUNSTALL
KIN (Virgin)
Disillusioned after failing to build on the huge impact of her 2004 debut Eye To The Telescope, KT Tunstall flew to California and began writing film scores. This full-blooded fifth album is her return to pop, and the Scottish singer sounds reinvigorated by producer Tony Hoffers authentic West Coast hooks and harmonies. Run On Home is all jangling, Byrds-like guitars. James Bay provides the perfect vocal foil on Two Way.

BASTILLE
Wild World (Virgin)
Having topped the charts with their first album, Bastille go bigger and bolder the second time around. The London quartets epic, cinematic songs are still underpinned by keyboards and Dan Smiths quavering voice, but horns, strings and garage-rock guitars have now been added to the mix. Bouncy single Good Grief samples sci-fi dialogue, while there are echoes of Depeche Mode in the heroic gloominess of Two Evils.

FREDDIE MERCURY
Messenger Of The Gods (Mercury)
Freddie Mercury's solo work pales alongside the magnificence of Queen, but this singles collection is a timely reminder of his astonishing voice in the week that he would have turned 70. Rock's ultimate showman was never understated, and there is bombast aplenty on his duets with operatic star Montserrat Caballé. His attempts to make dance music are flimsy approximations, but Living On My Own is a posthumous hit that endures.
