In a few days time, Tamara Ecclestone will walk down the aisle to marry Jay Rutland in a lavish ceremony in the south of France. As she makes final preparations for the biggest moment of her life, the bride-to-be has been joined by her sister and bridesmaid Petra Ecclestone, who has flown in from LA to be by her side. On Thursday evening, the two Ecclestone girls and their men took time out of wedding planning to attend the Ormeley Dinner in London.
Tamara, 28, looked beautiful in a embellished pale pink gown as she arrived at Bridgewater House on the arm of her fiancé Jay. Her younger sister, 24, went for a similar hue.
Petra and her entrepreneur husband James Stunt, 30, look pleased to be back on British soil after jetting in from their home in the States this week.
They dated for four years before tying the knot at Odescalchi Castle near Rome in August 2011 in a wedding that reportedly cost her father Bernie Ecclestone £12 million. In February, Petra and James welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lavinia.
The two couples were just some of the famous faces at the glamorous event, which helps raise money for environmental and conservation charities.
Now happily reunited, Tamara and Petra were clearly in the mood to celebrate. After the dinner they attended a private event at the exclusive London hotspot Loulou, where they partied alongside the likes of Simon Cowell, Trudie, Eva Herzigiva, and Jemima.
Other VIP invitees included Stephen Fry, Elizabeth Hurley's ex Arun Nayar and his girlfriend Kimberly Johnson, pregnant model Caprice and her long-term partner Ty Comfort, Jemima Khan and heiress Camilla Al Fayed.
It was a royal affair; guest of honour at the party — which was organised by Trudie Styler, Zac Goldsmith and Damian Aspinall — was Prince Charles, while London-based Greek royals Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal also attended.
