On hand to mark the occasion and enjoy the free food (or maybe that was just the editors?) were, of course, Phillip Green and his daughter Chloe accompanied by a British supermodel - no, not Kate this time but Naomi, decked out in Alexander McQueen. We also spotted Lorraine Kelly, Olivia Palermo and Julia R-R, as well as an Erdem-clad Anna Wintour - Topshop wields its power both sides of the Atlantic these days.

The main inspiration for the collection was Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, but with a decidedly modern, nineties hip-hop twist.
