Kelly Brook and her actor fiancé Billy Zane brought Hollywood glamour to London's Camden Town this week as Prince Charles hosted a star-studded gala dinner in conjunction with his charitable trust.

Wearing a figure-hugging black lace gown and with her hair whipped into an elegant 'do, 26-year-old Kelly dazzled onlookers as she made her red carpet arrival with her handsome beau. She wasn't the only one turning heads, however. Silent Witness actress Emilia Fox added sizzle to a chilly night in her red-hot frock, while Gwyneth Paltrow added yet more A-list credentials to the proceedings.

The Oscar-winning beauty was clearly getting on famously with her royal host as she shared a joke with Charles inside the Roundhouse theatre venue. Addressing the VIP diners, the 58-year-old Prince recalled his previous visit there. "I seem to remember coming to the Roundhouse to see Godspell, which was a musical which rather dates me, I'm afraid."

His wife Camilla helped greet guests - including Trudie Styler and Sharon Osbourne - at the bash which was celebrating 30 years of The Prince's Trust. The Duchess of Cornwall added a regal touch to the affair in a midnight-blue velvet gown accessorised with a spectacular sapphire and diamond necklace.

Also sporting some impressive jewels was Joely Richardson. The actress, who is taking a break from Nip/Tuck to look after daughter Daisy who needs surgery for a circulation condition, was modelling a 7.01-carat aquamarine and diamond necklace. The precious Garrard gem is not part of the actress' personal collection, though. It was on loan, and later auctioned off in aid of the Trust.

Also up for grabs were a date with Crash star Thandie Newton, a Romeo and Juliet scene with Joseph Fiennes, and an answer-phone message recorded by Stephen Fry.
