Shortly after her 60th birthday, Sarah, Duchess of York let her hair down as she attended a star-studded party in London on Wednesday night. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mum upped the glam, wearing a full-length black dress that featured beaded details and ruffles. She accessorised with a diamond necklace and earrings and had her hair swept half up in an elegant do.

Sarah was attending the Lady Garden Foundation Gala at Claridge's Hotel, joining other stars including Dame Joan Collins, Katherine Jenkins, Sally Wood, Samantha Cameron and Tamara Beckwith. The royal, who is an honorary chairwoman of the event, was even surprised with a two-tiered birthday cake.
