Anya Taylor-Joy looks effortlessly chic in a red gingham skirt as she joins glam Diana Ross and her son Evan at a cocktail reception hosted by the music legend's family

Anya Taylor-Joy put on a stylish display as she posed with Diana Ross at an intimate cocktail party at The Dorchester's Vesper Bar in London on Thursday. The Queen's Gambit star, 29, was all smiles as she joined music legend Diana, 81, and the Ross family at the event in honour of Arne Naess. Jr. and Arne's Reserve Caviar. Norwegian businessman Arne was Diana's second husband and the father of her two sons Ross, 37, and Evan, 36. The couple divorced in 2000 after 14 years of marriage, and Arne tragically died in January 2004 at the age of 66 in a climbing accident. Ross and Evan attended Thursday's event with their respective wives Kimberley and Ashlee Simpson - who also brought her son Bronx Wentz - while Diana's daughters Chudney, 49, and Rhonda, 53, also joined the family. Posing alongside the Ross clan, Anya looked as stylish as ever in a white waistcoat and a red gingham skirt, which she styled with white slip-on heels. The actress accessorised her look with a simple pendant necklace as she posed alongside Diana and her son Evan. For the star-studded occasion, Diana cut a glamorous figure in a black tulle gown with a matching shawl, which she teamed with lace gloves. The singer added some glitz to her look with a pair of statement gold earrings and flashed a huge smile for the cameras. Meanwhile, Evan cut a dapper figure in a black suit and a red tie as he sweetly wrapped his arm around his mother. Evan's wife Ashlee looked elegant in a black slip dress as she posed next to her son Bronx Wentz, who she shares with her ex Pete Wentz. Diana's film producer son Ross also cut a suave figure in an all-black ensemble while his wife Kimberley oozed glamour in a black velvet dress. Chudney, who Diana shares with her music executive ex-husband Robert Ellis Silberstein, looked equally stylish in a black polka dot dress and heels. Rhonda, whose father is Motown legend Berry Gordy, cut a chic figure in a cream dress and a black blazer as she joined her extended family at the reception. Evan's wife Ashlee looked elegant in a black slip dress as she posed next to her son Bronx Wentz, who she shares with her ex Pete Wentz Diana also has another daughter Tracee Ellis Ross with her ex-husband Robert, but she did not appear to be in attendance. It was a rare joint appearance for the Ross clan just weeks after Diana opened up about her kids in a recent interview. She told The Mirror: 'My family is really my greatest joy and blessing. Rhonda travels with me on tour and will be at the shows, my five children really take care of their mum.' Diana also proudly showed off her love for her family as she made a rare tribute to them while walking the carpet at the Met Gala. Diana looked sensational in a floor-grazing white gown complete with a feather-boa-trimmed cape and hat as she made her first appearance at the fashion event in 20 years. Determined to pay homage to all her children and grandchildren at the event, Diana had all their names sewn onto her extravagant gown. 'My son Evan and a young designer, Ugo Mozie, and I collaborated on the gown and cloak that I wore, we wanted something meaningful,' she explained. 'The 18-foot train stretches across generations with the names of my adult children and grandchildren beautifully embroidered on it, it's beaded and has crystals— the details celebrate my family and our love.' Diana wrapped up her UK tour at London's O2 Arena on July 1 after performing in Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.
