The 47-year-old actor was seen flirting with brunette Catherine Fulmer, 27, during a recent trip to The Hamptons, in New York state.
The 'Notting Hill' star was first spotted chatting to Catherine - who now works as a fashion designer - on a local beach.
He was then seen fooling around with the beauty - who was dressed in a daring outfit of hotpants and a skimpy waistcoat - at the A Taste of Polo by Evian event, in The Hamptons, last Sunday (31.08.08).
A fellow partygoer said: "They were so cute and flirty. He got Catherine and several of her friends shots of tequila to celebrate the night."
It has been rumoured Hugh will now attend Catherine's show at New York Fashion Week, which is set to take place next week.
Hugh's spokesman has denied claims he is dating the fashion designer, saying: "Someone's got their wires crossed. They met at a party and Hugh does not know her at all."
After three years together, Hugh split with Jemima Khan last year. He previously dated actress Elizabeth Hurley for 13 years, and remains close friends with her and her husband Arun Nayar.
