LOVE Island fans were left stunned after Ella Thomas partied up a storm with a huge A-Lister.
The Scottish model, 24, who previously signed a six-figure deal with PLT, looked in her element as she glammed up for a stylish night in London.
Ella donned a maroon-coloured semi-sheer jumpsuit and heels for the launch of Rihanna's haircare brand, Fenty Hair.
She made sure her own brunette locks were on point, styling them into a poker-straight, half-up style.
The Love Island 2023 favourite looked elated as she met the Good Girl Gone Bad hitmaker in a pastel-pink booth styled to look like a train carriage.
A video posted to Instagram captured the pair enjoying a natter before Rihanna, 36, dressed in a nude ruffle dress, pointed to something in the distance.

Ella has previously worked with Rihanna's brand, recently featuring the star's Fenty Beauty products in an Instagram Get Ready With Me paid-for advert.
Meanwhile, the villa babe is no stranger to famous faces and was recently spotted chatting to rapper Chris Brown.

He made sure to exchange a few words with Ella, who was quick to dish the detail on the Saving Grace podcast.
She admitted: "I couldn't actually believe that was a thing though.
"It was such a small encounter."
She told how Chris said "hi" and she muttered "you OK" back to him.
Ella added: "And then, yeah, he just walked on."
The model continued: "The American's love the accent, they love a British accent.
Love Island - Big-money fashion deals REVEALED
LOVE Island's Grace Jackson has bagged a six-figure fashion deal with EGO - but who else has triumphed from the 2024 cohort?
The Sun exclusively revealed how the Manchester model, 25, has signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.
She the first bombshell from her series, which was won by Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, to land a brand deal off the back of the show.
Yet it came after make-up artist Samantha Kenny, 27 - an OG in Love Island's 2024 cast line-up - scooped a big fashion deal with Glamify.
Meanwhile, mental health nurse Mimii, 24 - who triumphed in the show final - is also "set for million pound deals" as brands clamour to work with her.
A source was first to tell us: “Mimii has been taking back to back meetings with five agencies who are all bidding to sign her up.
"She’s being promised everything from TV shows to beauty deals to fashion lines - all worth up to a million.
"Anyone would expect her to rush into signing big money deals but she’s taking her time choosing who she works with.”
Love Island alumni Molly Smith, 30 - who had a second stab during this year's All Stars series - also scooped a Boohoo deal following her stint on the spin-off.
"They think we are all posh sipping tea but they just don't know."
Ella and her Love Island boyfriend Tyrique Hyde revealed their break-up in February.
The pair briefly split in November 2023 before patching things up, yet again called it quits this year.
