The beauty must have spent most of the evening getting ready for the bash in London as she put on a headturning display as she arrived.

Despite snubbing the main event, Kate looked red carpet ready in a stunning sequinned little black dress that showed off her slim legs.

For an added touch of glamour, the supermodel threw a leopard print coat over her shoulders.

She kept with the demure theme with her hair and make-up, putting her blonde locks in a chic up-do while adding a striking pair of emerald earrings.

The supermodel would have caught up on all the gossip from her fellow star-studded revellers who had attended the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday evening.
