An invite to the Met Gala chaired by Anna Wintour – US Vogue’s formidable editor-in-chief – should be the chicest event in the calendar and even more high fashion than the Oscars, with the prestigious New York art museum as its backdrop and a literary inspired theme.
JG Ballard’s The Garden of Time was the inspiration for this year’s event, but celebrities seem to have become confused and dressed for The Garden of Eden instead.
Rita Ora led the way
Would you buy a Chinese electric car?
No matter your answer, the fact of the matter is that brands from China are starting to flood the UK market, offering a number of electric vehicles that can match the performance and range of legacy European and Japanese makers for a fraction of the price.

It’s surely the wedding of the year – and certainly one with a lot of money behind it – as billionaire PLT founder Umar Kamani and his model fiancée Nada Adelle have jetted to the south of France to tie the knot.
The couple kicked off the first evening of their four-day wedding nuptials with a lavish white party at the luxury Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera, the exclusive resort linked to Eden Rock, owned by Pippa Middleton
It’s been dubbed the ‘party of the year’.
And now dozens of aristocrats are sharing a behind the scenes look into Lady Lola Bute’s 25 birthday party, with her pal Lady Mary Charteris joking as she shared her selection: ‘How Lola can you go?’
The aristocrat, who is the daughter of the late John Crichton-Stuart, 7th Marquess of Bute and fashion designer Serena Bute, hosted guests – including Sienna Miller, Charlotte Tilbury and Poppy Delevingne.

There’s Something About Miriam was one of the most controversial reality TV shows of the early 2000s.
The 2003 Sky One show saw six ‘typical lads’ enter a dating contest to woo Mexican model Miriam Rivera for a £10,000 prize and romantic yacht trip.

Victoria Beckham looked sensational as she arrived at her star-studded 50th birthday bash at private members club Oswald’s in London’s Mayfair on Saturday evening.

Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party was always going to be, well, posh.
Swanky Mayfair private members’ club Oswald’s was the venue for what proved a decidedly elegant black tie affair tonight, with 100 guests enjoying dinner, fizz and cocktails – and dancing into the early hours.
But what made the night particularly special for the birthday girl, said friends, was having all of the Spice Girls in the same room.

The destination for the train was officially Pyongyang, but the ticket might just as well have said ‘alternate reality’.
Because that’s what adventure blogger Anthony Middleton said he found when he arrived in the North Korean capital aboard the Pyongyang Express from China.
During his four-day stay he witnessed a bizarre mass synchronised dance, an all-girl pop band and had his phone examined for anti-North-Korean material.
The train ride was eye-opening, too, with very clean carriages, views of North Korea’s
