Having styled his ginger hair into a brushed-forward style, the Eyes Shut hitmaker appeared to be having a blast as he posed up a storm for photographers.
He sported a silver necklace which emulated twisting ivy and completed his ensemble with a pair of matching chunky bracelets.

Saweetie served as host for the ceremony, taking over from Little Mix who presented last year.
Teasing what to expect from the star-studded show, the rapper said in a statement: 'Anything can happen at the MTV EMAs. Are you ready?' before she promised there would be 'surprises' in store.
Speaking about hosting, she told E! News: 'I think MTV is fun. It's innovative, it's out the box. And that's the type of artist I am. So when I got the call to do it, it was a no brainer.'

The above artists' nominations also include 'Best Local Act' for each of their respective home countries.
MTV are reportedly planning on using the event to 'stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary and around the world' after the country passed a law in June banning content deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change on primtime television.
In an internal memo, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of MTV Entertainment Group Worldwide said the decision to keep the ceremony in Hungary would likely come as a surprise to many.

He said: ''I have to be honest with you, as a gay man, my personal emotions got the better of me.
'After learning this legislation passed, my knee-jerk reaction was that we should move the event to another country.
'However, after my emotions cooled down, I picked up the phone to connect with global LGBTQ+ advocates like All Out, got feedback from LGBTQ+ advocates in Hungary, spoke with Raffaele, Bruce and other team members from around the world, and consulted our LGBTQ+ employee resource group, Emerge.
The MTV EMAs will broadcast live on MTV UK on Sunday 14 November at 9pm and on Channel 5 at 11pm.
