Looks like things could be getting more serious for Elizabeth Hurley and her cricketer boyfriend Shane Warne.

The pair made their London society debut this week at Elton John's White Tie ball, which is an annual fixture in Elizabeth's social calendar.

As they left the model's London home the couple – who have been dating since December – looked perfectly in sync.

The cricketer kept a protective arm around his girlfriend, who returned the gesture, sliding her arm around his back.

Elizabeth looked stunning in an animal print dress with a sweeping train. Gold strappy stilettos and a matching clutch completed the look.
