Post-BAFTAs and pre-final day of London Fashion Week, actors and auteurs, models and mavericks descended on Annabelâs for British Vogueâs annual Fashion & Film Party with Tiffany & Co. on 18 February. After a transformative year for female directors and producers, this yearâs event was fittingly hosted by a quintet of women: British Vogueâs head of editorial content Chioma Nnadi, a West End-bound Cara Delevingne, Oscar winner Emerald Fennell, Emmys darling Ayo Edebiri, and BAFTA nominee Emily Blunt.
The partyâthe first since Nnadiâs historic appointment at the helm of the magazineâwas as star-studded as it was celebratory: Dua Lipa danced the night away with Callum Turner (âTraining Seasonâ, it seems, is well and truly over); Bridgertonâs Regé-Jean Page and Nicola Coughlan caught up, while DaâVine Joy Randolph and Mia McKenna-Bruce celebrated their BAFTA wins; and Central Cee came face to face with Skepta, whom the Brit nominee has called his greatest influence. And on the fashion front? Designers including Harris Reed, Charlie Casely-Hayford, and Molly Goddard brushed shoulders with It-Brits like Jourdan Dunn and Alexa Chung along with runway regulars who had decamped to London for the occasion, from Precious Lee to Kaia Gerber.
And while an ice stormâs worth of Tiffany & Co. diamonds ensured the evening exceeded its glamour quotient, Annabelâs was given a Vogue makeover for the occasion, too. Ferried from the Royal Festival Hall to Berkeley Square in a fleet of BMWs, guests stepped into a club filled with rose-and-mimosa sculptures courtesy of Blooming Haus and scented with Diptyqueâs cult Vetiver candles, while Zezi Ifore manned the decks in the Rose Room and Zuri Marley DJed for the crowds in the Jungle Bar.
As for the cocktails: bartenders shook up drinks ranging from The Saltburn (a salt-rimmed, Patrón-based margarita) to the Cygnet 22-spiked Fashion Editorâs Delight to Oppentinis (a decidedly explosive combination of Grey Goose, coffee liqueur and espresso). And for the grand finale? Shy Girl and SG Lewis took to the stage in the nightclub area for a performance, with the former debuting a track from her forthcoming album, Club Shy.
âThe BAFTAs are such a big night for the British film industry, and it feels extra special that this year London Fashion Week coincides with the awards show and is celebrating a major milestone tooâits 40th anniversary,â said Nnadi. âSo it all feels quite auspicious to be hosting my first Fashion & Film party this time. Iâm especially excited and honored to be joined by such a talented line-up of co-hosts: Cara Delevingne, Emerald Fennell, Ayo Edebiri, and Emily Blunt. Iâm a huge fan of all of them.â
