Frida Redknapp put on a stylish display as she joined her husband Jamie at the launch of Taika Waititi's new perfume MÁNO x MNRL on Wednesday night. 

The model, 43, looked chic in a black minidress and oversized black blazer as she posed for snaps with the former footballer. 

Putting on a leggy display, she paired the dress with black tights and knee-high black leather boots. 

Meanwhile Jamie kept it simple in a black zip-up jacket, black trousers and white trainers.

The pair were in attendance at Taika's private gathering at Soho Mews House ahead of the global premiere for his forthcoming film Klara and the Sun. 

His new perfume is founded in collaboration with fragrance titans Josh Máno Gilbertson and Tess Richards, and his wife, singer and actor Rita Ora.

It is inspired by a collision between the urban world of London and the elemental world of Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Other guests included Lorna Luxe, actor Fady Elsayed, models Elliot Meeten and Amanda Chrishell, fashion designer Patrick McDowell and actress Alicia Agneson.

Guests discovered the new collection while enjoying bespoke cocktails designed by Grey Goose, and sipping Paul Clouet Sélection Grande Réserve. 

Co-founders Taika Waititi, Josh Máno Gilbertson (both of whom share Aotearoan heritage), Rita Ora and Tess Richards have launched their new collection of eight fragrances exclusively at Harrods.

Jamie and Frida met through mutual friends in 2020 and went on to tie the knot in 2021, following Jamie's divorce from Louise in 2017. 

The couple welcomed their son Rapha, four, in November 2021 while Frida also shares three sons and a daughter with her American hedge fund tycoon ex-husband Jonathan Lourie.

Jamie shares two sons Charley, 21, and Beau, 17, with Louise. 

Back in July, Frida admitted her son Raphael is a 'godsend' and has helped bond their blended family after going through the 'tumble dryer' of divorce.

'Going through a divorce is like putting a family through a tumble dryer,' she told The Mid Point with Gabby Logan podcast.

'Having Rapha has been a godsend – he's the glue. Everyone wanted to come home and see Rapha.

'I'm a calmer mum now', she admitted. 'I talk to him in a completely different way.'

It comes after Jamie revealed he's been sober for two years after suffering a 'terrible' hangover following a boozy night out for his 50th birthday.

The star shared that he wanted to give up booze after being unable to remember any of his birthday as he got 'hammered' at his birthday celebration.

Sharing that he's 'never had a bad relationship with alcohol,' Jamie explained that part of his decision to stop drinking was to be 'healthier' and present for his son Raphael, after becoming a father again at the age of 49.
