Samantha Cameron turned heads in a vibrant printed floor-length skirt as she stepped out for the annual Save the Children's ball tonight.

The 44-year-old attended The Secret Winter Gala at the Guildhall in London without her husband Prime Minister David Cameron, but she ensured she still drew attention thanks to her bold geometric skirt by designer Peter Pilotto.

The theme of the night was Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - and Samantha's maxi, which she paired with a silky black tee and simple belt - certainly was a wonder. Similar skirts from the designer sell for more than £1,000.

The trippy pattern on Samantha's offered a mix of wiggles, circles and swirls in black, pink, green and blue.

With a thin net overlay, the mother-of-four kept the rest of her outfit simple, accessorising with minimal jewellery including large stud earrings, plus a light blue clutch and black heels.

She wore her hair loose - and a little windswept thanks to the weather - with natural rose-tinted make-up.

Guests of the ball, which raises money for Save the Children, were treated to an elegant evening of fine dining and entertainment celebrating the wonder of children's literature.

Other celebrities in attendance included Geri Halliwell, Natasha Kaplinsky, Helena Bonham Carter and Myleene Klass. 

Samantha also displayed her style credentials on Friday night by wearing a crimson-coloured sari to Wembley Stadium for the Indian Prime Minister's speech.

She accompanied her husband David, who was dressed in a smart suit, to the packed venue and went backstage to meet the dancers who were performing at Narendra Modi's biggest ever rally.

The huge event wass part of Narendra Modi's three-day visit to the UK and has seen screaming crowds gather at the home of English football to hear the visiting leader speak.

Samantha wore her hair loose and chose delicate drop earrings to compliment the elaborate sari with embellishment detail. 

The vibrant sari was trimmed with shimmering gold and black fabric and was a worthy choice for such a momentous occasion.

Samantha took the Indian traditions to heart and also wore a bindi jewel on her forehead.
