At ELLE we pride ourselves on celebrating amazing women in the pages of the magazine and here on ELLEuk.com.

Tonight we’re taking things one step further by inviting some of those women to edit ELLE for the night.

In the first of a series of Influencer dinners, ELLE editor in chief Lorraine Candy and ELLE columnist Victoria Coren will host an intimate dinner at London restaurant Bird of Smithfield.

The guest list is a who’s who of incredible women (and two brilliant men).

We’ll be hosting TV’s Claudia Winkleman, fashion designer Giles Deacon, Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie and Business of Fashion founder and editor, Imran Amed.

Joining them round the table is Whistles chief executive, Jane Shepherdson, the Mayor’s Head of Cultural Policy, Justine Simons and co-founder of tech company Decoded, Kathryn Parsons.

We'll also be dining with Portrait artist, Nicola Green, Head of Comedy at Zeppotron, Ruth Phillips, Labour MP, Stella Creasy, fashion editor, Tina Gaudoin and Mother ad agency creative, Alex Holder.

Together, they will help edit ELLE for the night, adding their unique creative voices to our ongoing conversation about inspiring you, the ELLE reader.
