Lily James is trying her luck with dating apps.
The Golden Globe nominee, 35, rocked a Bumble look on Thursday in Claremont, California, while filming Swiped, a biopic about the app’s founder, Whitney Wolfe Herd.
He donned a stylish white sweater with a yellow stripe across the chest with the Bumble logo in black.
James’ look was styled with dark jeans, white Adidas sneakers, round gold-framed sunglasses, and matching jewelry.
The British actress also carried a yellow Bumble tote bag full of products while filming scenes and speaking with director Rachel Lee Goldenberg.

He was announced to play Wolfe and produce Swiped in March, and began filming last month in Los Angeles.
According to Deadline, the film is “an inspiration and not based on Wolfe’s life and it is unknown how this film will compare to the actual origin story.”
From 20th Century Studios and Ethea Entertainment, the film also stars Jackson White, Dan Stevens, Ben Schnetzer, Myha’la Herrold and Pierson Fodé.
Wolfe, now 34, became the world’s youngest billionaire when she took Bumble public in 2021 after launching in 2014.
Bumble, currently the second most used dating app in the world, is popular for its women-first approach.
Wolfe co-founded the app months after she was forced to leave Tinder, another dating app she co-founded, following sexual harassment by a colleague.
In a 2022 interview with The Times, Wolfe said she felt “isolated” in the tech world and “gendered” by the headlines surrounding her departure from the company she founded at age 25.
‘Women who have achieved things are scrutinized differently. “If you changed the word ‘Whitney’ to ‘John’ in the headlines, I bet you’d think they read strangely,” she said.
Wolfe added that he had been considering stepping away for a while because he believes some Silicon Valley CEOs stay in their jobs too long and for the wrong reasons.

“In recent years I have brought human life into the world,” he said. ‘I have gone through health problems. I also exist outside of Bumble. So it’s right to reevaluate.”
In November, Wolfe stepped down as CEO and handed the reins to seasoned business and technology executive Lidiane Jones.
James’ latest role comes after she earned her first Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her performance as Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy.
Swiped is expected to release in 2025.
