On the evening of Friday 28th October, the world-famous private members club transformed into an intergalactic wonderland to present the club's biggest event of the year. A star studded guest list including Ella Eyre, Francis Bourgeois and Gene Gallagher entered the spacecraft where guests were greeted by aliens, robots and out-of-space visitors roaming across the floors. Everything I know About Love star Connor Finch partied alongside Sex Pistols’ Anson Boon and Louis Partridge in the Elephant Bar, while a gaggle of female aliens looked on. Out of this world.

Lady Bath's Intimate Housewarming
A blend of socialites, actresses, models, editors, artists, athletes headed to Emma Weymouth’s new London residence where she and her husband Lord Bath are now dividing their time between the abode and their world famous Longleat Estate in Wiltshire. "I wanted to throw a little house warming and invite a few very close friends for an intimate dinner," Emma told Hello! Fashion. The canapés included caviar blinis served by her 5 year old son John (aka Viscount Weymouth.) "An idea was hatched to give everyone a gift bag to take home and following the caviar theme," Emma explained, " thought the new Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait from La Prairie might be a rather suitable gift as I adore it myself." The hostess created an elegant blue tablescape with stunning blue and white hydrangeas and the blue theme continued with the Lady Bath’s Annie's Ibiza 1930's dress, "I changed into it from the sweatpants and hoodie I had been racing around in preparing the house only moments before the first guest arrived."
