The stars were out in force to celebrate Diablo Wines’ new sponsorship of The Devil Wears Prada Musical on Thursday.
Leading the way were Made In Chelsea’s Paris Smith and Strictly’s Layton Williams, who attended Diablo’s soiree at London’s Mandrake H๏τel.
Paris, 26, showcased her incredible figure in a sheer black dress that featured floral detailing and was layered over a slip.
She added to the look with a myriad of silver jewellery while she infused a pop of colour with a slick of red lipstick.
Layton, 30, caught the eye in a shaggy red jacket that he paired with black leather look trousers and brogues.
The guests had a theme for the evening – dressing to match one of Diablo’s wines – with clothes provided by River Island.

The Devil Wears Prada musical is based on Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling 2003 novel and the 2006 blockbuster film that went on to gross $326.7 million worldwide against a budget of $35-41 million, on route to receiving two Academy Award nominations.
The stage version stars Vanessa Williams as terrifying editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, the role Meryl Streep made famous.
The Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty star has appeared several times on Broadway including a Tony-nominated performance in Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods in 2002 and Horton Foote’s in 2013.
Georgie Buckland as aspiring journalist Andy, first played by Anne Hathaway. Amy Di Bartolomeo takes on the role of ᴀssistant Emily, played by Emily Blunt.
The show has its gala night at the Dominion Theatre on December 1, World Aids Day, with Sir Elton John, who wrote the music, and his husband David Furnish set to attend.
The musical debuted in Chicago in 2022, and the cast are hoping it will next enjoy a New York run.
‘Fresh out of college, aspiring journalist Andy scores a job at the prestigious Runway magazine working for fashion’s most powerful and terrifying icon — editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly,’ the synopsis reads on the musical’s website.
‘Sacrificing her personal life to meet Miranda’s impossible demands, Andy finds herself seduced by the glamorous world she once despised.’#

It continues: ‘How far will she go to succeed… and will it be worth selling her soul to get what she’s always wanted?’
‘Hilariously fun and fabulously stylish, The Devil Wears Prada tells an inspiring story about discovering what kind of person you truly want to be.’
The new production is directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell with set design by Tim Hatley, costume design by Gregg Barnes, lighting design by Bruno Poet, sound design by Gareth Owen, and casting by Jill Green CDG.
The musical features an original score by Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub, and book by Kate Wetherhead.
