LONDON, UK: Following the BAFTA Film Awards in London on Sunday, rumors are swirling about a potential romance between Florence Pugh and Paul Mescal.

Pugh, who stars in 'Don't Worry Darling,' was seen hopping from the Universal party to the Netflix bash, where she mingled with stars like Rosamund Pike, Lily James, and Sacha Baron Cohen, and Mescal.

A source revealed to The Sun, "Florence and Paul move in the same circles and have been mates for some time. If their friendship moved into something more romantic no one would be surprised."

This speculation comes after Pugh and Mescal were spotted having dinner together in New York City last week.

Both Pugh and Mescal have recently ended previous relationships. Pugh split from photographer Charlie Gooch last October, while Mescal reportedly signed up for a dating app after his breakup with singer Phoebe Bridgers.

Pugh stunned in a white David Koma gown with a dramatic feathered cape as she dashed between parties after the BAFTAs. Her ensemble, featuring a plunging neckline and semi-sheer lace panels, turned heads at the event.

Last year, Pugh made headlines for partying until almost 9 am after the BAFTAs alongside Lily James. This year, she celebrated with her 'Oppenheimer' co-stars after the Christopher Nolan biopic won seven awards at the BAFTAs, including Best Film and Best Director.

The BAFTA after-parties were attended by a host of Netflix nominees and industry talent, including Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Andrew Scott, Rosamund Pike, and Lily James, among others.

After attending the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday night, Florence Pugh kept the celebration going by making appearances at both the Universal and Netflix afterparties.

The 28-year-old 'Dune' star looked stunning as she gracefully moved from the Universal party, held at the Nomad hotel in Covent Garden, to the Netflix bash at the Chiltern Firehouse. Departing the Universal event at 1 am, Pugh then headed to the Netflix party at 1:30 am, where she remained for the rest of the night.

Pugh dazzled in a gorgeous white gown featuring a slit up the front and complemented by a striking feathered cape. Her David Koma pre-fall ensemble boasted a plunging neckline and semi-sheer lace panels that added to its allure.

Adding a touch of flair to her look, Pugh donned a pair of pink-tinted sunglasses as she departed in a waiting car, ensuring her night of party-hopping was as stylish as ever.
