Meanwhile Pulp frontman Jarvis, 59, packed on the PDA with the birthday girl – and girlfriend – Kim.
He rocked a retro inspired brown suit for the big night which he layered over a crisp shirt and tie.
Jarvis sported his trademark oversized glasses with his brown locks loose while sporting a grey beard.
Photographer Kim, who has shot for Vogue and Vivienne Westwood, slipped into a figure-hugging jumpsuit.
She teamed the polkadot look with a sparkly silver bag and styled her blonde tresses loose as they tumbled past her shoulders.
It comes after Pulp bassist Steve Mackey passed away on January 2 aged 56 after spending 12 weeks in hospital ‘fighting with all his strength’.
Jarvis was seen for the first time since the tragic loss on Wednesday as he went shopping with Kim in West London.
Announcing his death, Steve’s wife Katie wrote on Instagram: ‘After three months in hospital, fighting with all his strength and determination, we are shocked and devastated to have said goodbye to my brilliant, beautiful husband, Steve Mackey.

Steve died today, a loss which has left myself, his son Marley, parents Kath and Paul, sister Michelle and many friends all heartbroken.
‘Steve was the most talented man I have ever known, an exceptional musician, producer, photographer and filmmaker. As in life, he was adored by everyone whose paths he crossed in the multiple creative disciplines he conquered.
‘I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the NHS staff who worked tirelessly for Steve. He will be missed beyond words.
‘The family has asked for privacy at this time.’

The news came as a huge shock to fans, coming five months after Steve revealed he wouldn’t be taking part in Pulp’s reunion.
The band had initially been formed in 1978 by a 15-year-old Jarvis and Peter Dalton, then 14.
Steve was asked to join the band in 1989 after following Pulp and befriending Jarvis.
The band’s first album including Mackey, and their third altogether, was called Separations and led to new success throughout the 1990s and they signed with Island Records.
Following the news of his death, Pulp shared a photo of Steve on tour in South America in 2012 and wrote: ‘Our beloved friend & bass player Steve Mackey passed away this morning. Our thoughts are with his family & loved ones.

‘This photo of Steve dates from when Pulp were on tour in South America in 2012. We had a day off & Steve suggested we go climbing in the Andes. So we did.
‘It was a completely magical experience. Far more magical than staring at the hotel room wall all day (which is probably what we’d have done otherwise).’
They continued: ‘Steve made things happen. In his life & in the band. & We’d very much like to think that he’s back in those mountains now, on the next stage of his adventure.
‘Safe travels, Steve. We hope to catch up with you one day. All our love.’
Steve married his longtime girlfriend, Katie, in 2009 and welcomed son Marley in 1996.

In October, the bassist said he would not be joining this year’s Pulp reunion tour – but did not share he was secretly battling with his health.
The band – Jarvis, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks and Mark Webber – had planned to reform for a second time to play a number of dates across the UK and Ireland.
The tour which kicks off on 26 May stars in Bridlington Spa and includes two festival appearances, at Glasgow’s TRNSMT (7 July) and Latitude (21 July).
In a post shared to Instagram, Steve explained he wouldn’t be joining them.
He said: ‘I’ve decided to continue the work I’m engaged in – music, filmmaking and photography projects, and will not be joining them for these UK shows just announced.
‘Wishing Candy, Nick, Mark and Jarvis the very best with forthcoming performances in the UK and also an enormous thanks to Pulp’s amazing fanbase, many of whom have sent me lovely messages today.’
As a record producer, Steve produced songs and albums by M.I.A., Florence + the Machine, The Long Blondes and Arcade Fire.
