Benedict Cumberbatch enjoys a night out with a red-headed woman while Matthew Williamson shows his ghoulish side

He might be back from Ibiza, but the partying hasn't stopped for Benedict Cumberbatch who enjoyed a night out in London on Saturday night.

The Star Trek actor headed to Cirque Le Soir with a red-headed friend, where he may well have bumped into Matthew Williamson.

The British designer was also in attendance, however it seemed Halloween had come early, with Matthew leaving the club with half his face painted like a skull.

Benedict's night club look was far less clean cut than the designer suits he's usually spotted in on the red carpet.

The 35-year old actor kept it simple in a white T-shirt, faded black jeans, a grey blazer and black high-tops, while covering his dark dyed hair with a baker boy hat.

He held tightly to his female friend's red manicured hand, but it's unclear whether their relationship is romantic or platonic.

In Ibiza, where Benedict officiated his friends' marriage, the British stage and screen star was rumoured to have become close to Russian model Katia Elizarova while there have also been suggestions that he is dating his Star Trek Into Darkness co-star Alice Eve.

Cumberbatch has been single since splitting from fashion designer Anna Jones at the start of the year.

He met Anna following the break up of his twelve year relationship last March with The Thick Of It actress Olivia Poulet, who had got together while studying at the University of Manchester.
