Ellie's state of mind is reflected in her outfit choice for tonight. After the mass hysteria surrounding her dating life in the 2010's and then the natural urge to quietly protect the rekindling relationship at the turn of the decade, Ellie's wardrobe became even more demure and subtle than the sweet girl herself. Not really wanting to be "seen", Ellie spent the best part of the last decade dressing down, looking cosy and like the girl next door. Even her public red carpet appearances saw her parade around in dresses that were, although beautiful and elegant, nothing too daring and head-turning. The media circus she endured at such a young age left her scunnered and fried, no longer wishing to draw unnecessary attention to herself. Tonight is different, however. It's Valentine's, their relationship has all but been confirmed, and she's a grown woman in her thirties living her best life who feels ready to take on the world. No more hiding away. She's ready to face the music.

For their romantic date night, Ellie has opted for a stunning monochromatic look. She has styled a bodysuit with sheer panels alongside a black miniskirt. A thin leather belt combines the two pieces together while a satin black blazer adds dimension and a tad more modesty to her striking look. A puffy black lambskin Louis Vuitton bag and quilted black leather boots complete the ensemble. She wears her hair down in it's natural golden waves and sports soft, rosy makeup. Reflecting her newfound confidence, Ellie is looking like the rich popstar that she is. Rarely one to show off or flaunt her wealth, both she and Ryan have worked extremely hard to get to where they are both personally and professionally. If they can't go all out and put in the effort of today of all days, when can they?

Ellie leans against Ryan's shoulder and strokes the hand he has placed on her side. She laughs softly at his quip regarding the security and how busy they'll be. "Gosh, it's so weird. It's something I've avoided for like, what? 10 years? Now it's all happening again and it feels like yesterday. Though the good part is that I just don't care." Ellie sits up a little and gives a shrug and a beaming smile. "I'm not worried anymore. I feel calm and in control. Never thought I'd feel that way about those guys." While Ellie was never the type to hit back at paparazzi, she's never had a good opinion of them. They've made her feel incredibly nervous and intruded upon over the years. Definitely her least favourite part of the job.

She takes a sip of her wine (dry and white, of course) before leaning in to place a soft kiss on Ryan's lips, looking into his eyes lovingly. "This was such a beautiful meal. Thank you, darling. It was almost as delectable as those microwaveable wraps my brother buys." Ellie giggles before turning her attention back to the small remainder of her dessert.
