For the special occasion, which took place in London at the swanky Royal Lancaster, Elizabeth, 59, rocked a glamorous dress from luxury womenswear designer, Alice Temperley.

Exuding old Hollywood glamour, the star's embellished frock featured a dramatic leg split, a plunging neckline, rippling Bardot-style sleeves and an art deco-inspired swirling sequin pattern.

Ramping up the glitz, Elizabeth elevated her look with a pair of strappy black heels, sparkling chandelier style earrings and a crystal heart pendant. She wore her chestnut-hued tresses in loose waves and highlighted her features with a warm palette of radiance-boosting makeup.

The Bedazzled star was joined by her son Damian, 22, who looked dapper dressed in a sheer black top, a navy sequin blazer and edgy black leather trousers.

During the charity ball, Elizabeth paused to mingle with a plethora of famous faces including her good friend, Joan Collins. The pair share a close bond, with Elizabeth and Damian frequently visiting the Dynasty star at her holiday home in Provence.

Damian is the spitting image of his mum Elizabeth

Elizabeth shares Damian with her ex-partner, Steve Bing, who died by suicide in June 2020 at the age of 55. Steve, who was also the founder of Shangri-La Entertainment and perhaps best known for investing in films including The Polar Express and Beowulf, dated Elizabeth in 2001, and Damian was born soon after in 2002.

The mother-son duo share an incredibly strong bond and a "twin-like telepathy". Of their unique bond, Damian told HELLO!: "We have a twin-like telepathy, and I think that serves us very well.

Elizabeth welcomed Damian in 2002

"But the moment there's a clash, it's like you're arguing with yourself. If we're fighting, we'll suddenly interrupt ourselves mid-sentence and go: 'Oh my God, I forgot to tell you.'"
