Lily James put on a leggy display as she attended a screening of her film Relay at the SVA Theater in New York City on Saturday

SCANDALOUS CELEBRITY GOSSIP ALERT!

Lily James, 36, has been making waves on the red carpet and in the tabloids with her latest fashion statements and personal milestones. The talented actress was spotted looking absolutely stunning at a screening of her film Relay at the SVA Theater in New York City on Saturday. And we have the tea!

The former Downton Abbey star turned heads as she slipped into a sultry purple mini dress with long sleeves and a turtle neck, highlighting her jaw-dropping figure. To add some extra height to her frame, Lily paired the dress with matching heels that left everyone in awe. We can't help but wonder if she's trying to distract us from something...

Earlier on the day, Lily stepped out in a white vest top tucked into a black mini skirt

But that's not all - earlier in the day, Lily was seen stepping out in a bold white vest top tucked into a black mini skirt. We're loving her edgy vibe! The actress completed her look with a pair of sunglasses and a matching blazer, adding a touch of sophistication to her overall style.

Meanwhile, we have some juicy gossip from Lily's recent birthday bash at a Michelin-starred restaurant in North London. The actress celebrated her 36th birthday in style with a private dining room booking at Luca, where she treated herself to a lavish meal and champagne toast with friends.

The guest list was A-list for sure! Dominic Cooper, her Mamma Mia! co-star, and his girlfriend Gemma Chan were both in attendance, as well as actress Gala Gordon and socialite Poppy Delevingne. The two friends shared some adorable photos on Instagram, showing Lily looking happier than ever as she celebrated another year of life.

In one photo, Lily is seen wearing a khaki sleeveless dress cut away at the waist, showcasing her slender figure. We can't help but wonder if she's been hitting the gym hard lately! The actress and her friends were treated to a delectable menu featuring mouth-watering items like £68 beef ribeye and £49 lamb with spiky artichoke and pine nuts.

But the pièce de résistance was the birthday cake - a stunning white masterpiece adorned with multi-coloured candles, meringue balls, and an icing photo of Lily as a child in an early acting role. It's clear that her friends are just as obsessed with her as we are!

Gala Gordon, 34, shared a heartwarming video on social media captioned: 'Keep shining my girl - this is your year.' The actress also happens to be the executive producer of Swiped, the film starring Lily as Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble. Talk about nepotism!

Poppy Delevingne, 38, shared a funny video of herself and Lily playing around in a lift with a soundtrack from Pam and Tommy, in which Sebastian Stan says: 'You are by far the baddest, raddest, sexiest, most far-out kick-a* chick that I've ever met!' Poppy added her own caption: 'You really f* are... Happy birthday beautiful LILS. Love you to Pluto.' The socialite is heavily pregnant with her first child - a girl - by billionaire boyfriend Archie Keswick.

We have to ask, who's the lucky guy in Lily's life now? She was spotted without a date at her birthday bash, leaving us wondering if she's single and ready to mingle!
