Beckham’s Full Length and Fabulous Party

“...We had a menu of grilled tomato consomme, carpaccio with seared tuna, Label Anglaise chicken with vegetables and a thyme veloute, followed by a peanut butter parfait with cherry compote, conjured up by Gordon Ramsay...”

Hilary Alexander’s first hand account from the Beckham’s ‘do’ on Sunday, reports that Gordon Ramsay’s delicacies were only a small addition to a deluxe party she won’t forget too soon. Attended by 400 A-list invites, the bash hosted at ‘Beckingham Palace’ had a swell guest list, including Conservative party leader David Cameron and wife, the Duchess of York-Sarah Ferguson, and Prince Charles (who incidentally didn’t turn up). The pre-World Cup party had luxury items worth £2 million going on auction; the profits from which all will be donated to Unicef. Posh, in a fluorescent yellow Roberto Cavalli gown wasn’t the only footballer’s wife who’d donned the evening’s ‘Full Length and Fabulous’ dress code; 80 per cent of the English team turned up with wives and girlfriends for the evening. Reading that James Brown and Robbie Williams did a little performance at the event doesn’t come as a surprise at all. Do parties come any posher than this?
