Liam Payne and new girlfriend put on loved-up display at star-studded event

Liam Payne and his stunning girlfriend Kate Cassidy put on a loved-up display as they attended the no-expense-spared launch of the Atlantis The Royal in Dubai.

The singer, 29, documented his trip over on his Instagram account with his American girlfriend also sharing a string of highlights from their lavish weekend away.

Liam and Kate have been sharing aspects of their romance since going Instagram official towards the end of last year but it appears things are heating up with the hitmaker introducing her to some extremely famous faces and taking her on their first red carpet event.

Taking to the red carpet at the lavish event which was headlined by Beyoncé, the pair looked more loved up than ever.

Having initially revealed that he'd forgotten his suit and had a mad dash around the Dubai mall, Liam rocked a satin black shirt which offered a glimpse of his impressive pecs, as well as a pair of smart black trousers, which he paired with black shoes.

Meanwhile, Kate, 23, looked sensational as she slipped into a floor-length corset-styled dress which showcased her gym-honed legs.

Kate opted to wear a pair of killer heels, which appeared to be decorated in pearls to elevate her height while rocking her blonde tresses into a swept-back ponytail, with a touch of lipgloss on her plump pout.

The pair happily posed for a string of snaps, while Liam also documented their night on his Instagram profile and shared a photo that fans did not expect.

In view of his 24.7 million followers, the Bedroom Floor hitmaker posted a picture of Kate posing alongside Kendall Jenner, the rumoured ex-girlfriend of his former bandmate, Harry Styles.

Liam and Kate have been delighting their followers since going public, often attending events and parties together and even celebrating Halloween dressed as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.

But Liam has furiously defended Kate after trolls suggested she was using him for his wealth, hitting back by saying: "If it was just for the money I'd give her all of it."

"It's not though (please remember I'm hella sexy) and I know I'm fun and a loveable person. And I don't give a f**k to say that for the first time in my life, I'm happy to be me and that's priceless."

Elsewhere, the likes of Kim Kardashian's friend Jonathan Cheben, Michelle Keegan, Rochelle and Marvin Humes and influencer Alex Carmichael were in attendance at the top-secret event.

Kendall had been in town celebrating the launch of her brand 818 Tequila which has been announced as the "official tequila" of the new hotel.

Beyoncé took to the stage and was reportedly paid an eye-watering $24 million (£19.3 million) for her first performance since taking to the stage at the 2018 Global Citizen Festival.

Those in attendance were asked to not record Beyoncé's performance, per the request of the artist.
