Make-up free Anya Taylor-Joy goes casual for low-key outing with trendy photographer beau Ben Seed amid London lockdown
It was revealed in March that she is enjoying a passionate romance with a fashionable photographer who styles himself Pip.
And Anya Taylor-Joy certainly looked in the throes of romance as she enjoyed an outing with the handsome Northerner — real name, Ben Seed — on Monday.
The Emma star, 24, looked low-key as she donned an over-sized grey hoodie with red tracksuit bottoms while Ben wore denim shorts and a black hat.

Anya opted for maximum comfort in her loungewear as she emerged to squeeze in her government mandated exercise time.
She went make-up free while walking along with her beau, who looked trendy in Vans, denim shorts and a baseball cap.
Earlier this year, when Anya’s new romance came to light, a friend close to the pair told The Daily Mail: ‘They make a lovely couple.’
Pip has snapped a constellation of stars including Sir Ian McKellen, Homeland’s Damian Lewis and pop star Ellie Goulding. Anya is thought to have fallen for Pip while he was taking her picture.

Anya recently detailed the male nudity featured in the forthcoming Jane Austen adaptation of Emma, which was released in February.
The Split star discussed the scene in the film where Lovesick actor Johnny Flynn, 36, rips off his clothes in a nod to the famous Colin Firth scene in Pride and Prejudice.
She said: ‘We weren’t shy about [male nudity] in the film. We thought it was about time that we utilise the female gaze! It was time for that.’
To the top: Anya’s rise to fame began when she was 16 on a shopping trip to Harrods, when she was spotted by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm Models – and the woman who similarly discovered Kate Moss
Of the period drama and the choice for the male costumes, Anya went on: ‘It was also interesting, because no one really knows how the men got dressed…
‘You see a lot of scenes of women pulling the corsets and all of that, but the whole production of men getting dressed too, you couldn’t do it by yourself if you were wealthy, and so it was interesting.’
Touching again on the racier side of things, the Metro’s review of the movie reads: ‘With a cheeky bit of nudity and erotically charged waltzing there’s enough to get even Fifty Shades fans hot under the collar. It’s all in the mind, people’.
Speaking things out: After embarking on a catwalk career, ambitious Anya broke into the film business in 2015 in the horror movie The Witch
