Crowds were all of a flutter watching the arrival of stars bringing glamour to the purple carpet of the Butterfly Ball, the prestigious fundraiser for the Caudwell Children Charity. Soaring high in the style stakes was Nicole Scherzinger, in a silver Julien Macdonald gown (left), who had flown into London after birthday celebrations in Mykonos to perform at the fundraiser on 7 July. Others taking to the stage included Jessie J and Mabel. Adding their own sparkle were the charity’s founder John Caudwell, wearing one of his trademark jackets, and his partner Modesta Vzesniauskaite in a stunning Gaby Charbachy gown.
