Arabella Chi put on a leggy display in a denim mini dress on Monday as she stepped out with beau Richie Akiva at BooHoo’s NYFW Event held at The Blonde in New York City.
The former Love Island star, 32, showcased her long legs in the thigh-skimming denim number which she teamed with black knee-high boots and a cropped black jacket which she later removed.
Arabella looked in her element as she posed up a storm in her sizzling ensemble as she mingled at the star-studded event with ‘king of nightclubs’ Richie.
Richie, 45, cut a stylish figure in a semi-sheer black shirt teamed with black trousers, black and white trainers and a New York Yankees cap.
The pair stared straight ahead as they arrived side by side at the fashion event.

Despite arriving with Richie, Arabella was on fine form as she posed on her own and with other pals at the cocktail party.
Also in attendance at the bash was Love Island’s Amber Turner, who wowed in denim shorts teamed with a black top and knee-high boots.
While model Lexi Wood dazzled in a shimmering metallic mini dress which she teamed with clear heels.
This Summer, Arabella had been soaking up the sun in Ibiza with Richie and his pals, including A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio.
It’s not known how long Arabella has been seeing New York native Richie or where they first met.
Richie has been a regular on the New York club scene since his teen years and opened the legendary 10ak nightclub in 2007.
He is the CEO of the Butter Group which owns other popular venues in the city including Up & Down and Butter.
Richie regularly rubs shoulders with celebrities and has previously hosted birthday parties for the likes of Rihanna and Naomi Campbell.

The businessman has also hosted one of the Met Gala’s most raucous afterparties and has fronted parties for the jet-setting class in the likes of Monaco and the Maldives.
Richie previously told The New York Times he doesn’t use his celebrity connections for publicity, saying: ‘I don’t use them to better my business, they’re my friends. I try to protect them as much as I can.’
Previously romantically linked to Rihanna and Heidi Klum, Richie has never commented publicly on his love life.
‘I take a page from friends of mine who are celebrities,’ he said. ‘Let people believe whatever they want to believe.’

Arabella’s romance with Richie comes after she was reported to be dating French rugby ace Yoann Huget in June.
The pair were seen at the French Open together and put on a cosy display as Yoann wrapped an arm around Arabella’s shoulder.
A source told The Sun: ‘They’ve been dating for a while and it’s now turned more serious so they were happy to make it official at the French Open.’
Back in December 2022, Arabella was spotted leaving restaurant IT Mayfair holding hands with personal trainer Rickel White.
Rickel was the star’s personal trainer at the time, although it is not known for how long they dated for.
