Ellie Goulding made a bold fashion statement at the European premiere of Better Man, wearing a daring mesh cut-out dress that revealed her underwear. The eye-catching ensemble ensured the singer turned heads on the red carpet, showcasing her confidence and unique style.
The 37-year-old singer-songwriter opted to bypass the red carpet at London’s Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday but was later photographed during the evening.
Ellie Goulding chose a bold and risqué outfit for the premiere, wearing a black and teal one-shouldered dress adorned with cut-out holes, revealing glimpses of her skin beneath the striking design.
Ellie Goulding’s daring ensemble at the Better Man premiere featured dark green underwear visible through her black and teal one-shouldered gown, which was punctuated by cut-out details. She completed the look with patent leather slouch boots, a satin buckled clutch bag, and chunky diamond earrings. Her blonde hair was styled into an elegant updo, with loose strands framing her face.
This appearance follows reports from Newsafro.com last month revealing that Ellie had ended her relationship with 29-year-old surf instructor Armando Perez, citing their “very different” lifestyles. The pair met while Ellie was in Costa Rica celebrating the New Year, with Armando giving her private surfing lessons.
According to a source, the two shared a strong initial attraction and chemistry despite their age difference, bonding over their time together on the beach. Ellie reportedly found solace in the relaxed environment following the end of her marriage. However, Armando preferred his “quiet life” away from the public eye, focusing on his work as a surf instructor in Playa Hermosa.
The source added: “Their time together was special, but their contrasting lifestyles made a long-term relationship difficult. Ellie’s high-profile career as a pop star in England clashed with Armando’s roots and love for his peaceful life in Costa Rica.”
“Ellie Goulding and Armando Perez remain great friends despite deciding to part ways, as their lives are naturally very different,” a source confirmed.
The couple met earlier this year during Ellie’s visit to a Central American beach resort for a yoga and surf retreat alongside close friends, actresses Emily Wickersham and Alessandra Ford Balazs. They stayed in a luxurious hillside villa, offering Ellie a much-needed respite following her private separation from her art dealer husband, Caspar Jopling.
Their romance blossomed during the retreat, and the pair were photographed sharing a passionate kiss in the sea. The emergence of these images prompted Ellie to publicly acknowledge the end of her five-year marriage to Caspar, 31.
Taking to Instagram, Ellie confirmed their separation, writing: “In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.”
