Classic glamour from Eliza Doolittle in floor length gown... even though she did break the dinner party dress code

Trying to decide what to wear to an all-black evening event should be simple enough.

But when you want to stand out from the crowd, best to follow the example of British singer Eliza Doolittle who opted for a cream floor length gown for Mark Fast black tie dinner.

Even global superstar Kayne West managed to follow the strict all-black rule, although he did spice up his look with some leather trousers - a look only the rapper could really get away with.

The swanky bash, which was held at the Corinthia Hotel in London yesterday, was held by the designer who invited only his most famous of friends.

Although a spokesman for the knitwear designer denied it was a strictly black dress code, all the other guests managed to pull out something dark from their wardrobe, apart from the 23-year-old singer.

Among other star guests included aristocratic actress and model Lady Amanda Harlech's daughter Tallulah Harlech and Zara Martin, who stuck to the short dresses for dinner.

As well as keeping his rich friends onside Canadian Fast, 28, invited 21-year-old singer Rita Ora who looked every inch the blonde bombshell in her black outfit, with a sultry split down the side.

For the women it was Eliza who captured enviable glances throughout the evening in her plunging crochet gown which swept the floor.

Keeping her trademark locks in a half ponytail the singer looked effortlessly chic.

No where to be seen was Doolittle's, whose real surname is Caird, boyfriend Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden.

The singer is hoping to make it big in America and was seen earlier this month in her boyfriend's Beverly Hills neighbourhood.

But it was Kanye West who got a lot of the attention in his get-up of a leather trousers and trainers.
Fast is lucky to have got Kanye, who although nominated for seven awards at this weekend’s Grammys told organisers he wasn't going to attend.
