The black lace dress featured nude underlay, with the lace material ruched at the side split, which sexed up the look.

Hot pink embroidery spruced up the outfit with just a slither of colour here and there, boding well with her silver clutch.

Pairing it with sheer tights and black caged heels, the Sports Illustrated model flaunted her nearly 6ft frame.

It was her beauty look however, which drew further attention as her thick blonde locks were curled to perfection and left long and loose.

She covered the top of her head with a spot of French drama, which consisted of a small black rimmed top hat with lashings of feathers and lace.

Barely letting a smile forgo her lips, she flashed her pearly whites which were outlined by nude gloss and batted her smoky eyes.

Elle was one of a host of famous faces in attendance at her pal Jo's birthday.

Former model Jo is married to Armenian businessman Rafi Manoukian, one of Britain's richest men, who was said to be worth up to £340 million.

With her veteran status in the modelling industry, Elle has recently been filming scenes for the tenth season of Australia's Next Top Model in Sydney.

Ahead of her appearance on the highly popular show, Elle offered some pearls of wisdom as she discussed everything she's observed over her career in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

'So many girls diet too much,' she confessed. 'They don’t watch their nutrition and don’t look after their spirit.'

She also revealed she had been asked for 'many years' to come on board with the Australian reality series, having hosted the British and Irish versions. 

Meanwhile, Elle also is known for being passionate about living clean, having previously claimed the secret to her famous figure is down to her structured diet and supplement plan.
