Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, wore a dark jacket over a white T-shirt, which he teamed with leather pants and Nike sneakers.

Meanwhile, Katarina looked stylish in a white crop top, black pants and sneakers, and accessorised with a statement necklace and hoop earrings.

She kept warm outside the venue by wearing a chic blazer.
