Rita Ora cuts a casual figure as she links arms with beau Romain Gavras after a night out in London

They’ve been going from strength to strength since being seen out together in July.

And Rita Ora appeared as loved-up as ever as she linked arms with beau Romain Gavras after a night out with pals in London on Wednesday.

The singer, 29, cut a casual figure in a black padded jacket and red sports leggings as the pair laughed and smiled on their stroll home.

Rita appeared to be in good spirits as she rocked her laid-back ensemble, adding a black baseball cap and quilted leather backpack to accessorise her look.

She tied her locks back into a chic low ponytail for the evening’s festivities and appeared to keep her makeup to a minimum.

Director Romain also kept things casual in his own warm jacket and some jeans and was seen keeping his hands warm during their walk by putting them in his pockets. 

Rita’s sister Elena and another pal were also seen at The Walmer Castle Pub in Notting Hill as the group caught up on Wednesday night. 

Making sure to abide by lockdown rules set in the UK, the friends ensured to part ways when closing time was called at 10pm. 

It comes after Rita sparked engagement rumours by donning a black diamond engagement ring to dinner with her sister and pals at Taqueria in Notting Hill. 

Another diner at restaurant told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Rita was showing off the ring on Thursday with the women seemingly cooing over it.

‘She seemed in high spirits when she left the restaurant and then shoved her hand in her pocket.’

MailOnline has contacted Romain Gavras and Rita Ora’s representatives for a comment. 

Rita has been dating Greek-French director Romain Gavras, 39, for the past few months after they were first seen together in July after a night of partying.  

Speaking to The Sun, friends insisted she was involved with the filmmaker after she was seen enjoying a boozy night out with business tycoon Faton Gashi.

A source said: ‘Rita was hitting the town with friends including Faton. But she’s in a serious thing with Romain and properly loved up. It’s the first time she’s been serious with someone in ages.’

Her previous boyfriends include Calvin Harris, Andrew Garfield, Rob Kardashian, musician Andrew Watt and Ricky Hil – the son of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. 

The actress is also preparing for her upcoming film role in new movie Twist, acting alongside two-time Academy Award winner Sir Michael Caine, Game of Thrones star Lena Headey and Raff Law. 

Rita transformed into a very edgy Artful Dodger in the action-packed first trailer for the film in the first trailer released Wednesday,     

Rita plays Dodge in the modern-day adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist opposite Law in the title role, Caine as Fagin and Headey as Sikes.  

The singer looked sensational in the trailer and rocks an array of looks including one high-impact sequence where she throws a punch in a bar fight while wearing a leopard print jacket.

Although relying on her fists in that scene, the Girls singer holds onto a baseball bat and later dresses up as a police woman with a blonde wig as Twist scales his way down an elevator shaft. 

Twist brings Dickens’ iconic novel into the 21st Century, as a group of street smart young hustlers plan the heist of the century for the ultimate payday in the heart of bustling London. 

Rafferty Law – son of actor Jude and Sadie Frost – appears as the titular hero, while Rita stars as the elusive Artful Dodger.

Traditionally a male character, Artful – the assumed name of child criminal Jack Dawkins – was originally presented as an adept pickpocket, famed for his incredible skill in separating unsuspecting victims from their wallets and purses. 

But in keeping with the new film’s present day setting, the character’s criminal background has been appropriately tweaked – along with his gender. 

The Dodger’s name also been tailored, with Rita’s interpretation responding to the abbreviated ‘Dodge’ in the new film.
