Just days before her rumoured ex-beau Prince Harry announced his engagement to Meghan Markle.

Yet Ellie Goulding did not let her alleged lost love's news faze her as she made a breathtaking appearance at the CLUB LOVE gala in honour of the Elton John AIDS Foundation where she was also joined by the royal's cousin, Lady Kitty Spencer and a descendant of fashion royalty, Kate Moss' sister Lottie on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old Burn hitmaker kept things chic in a sensational Bardot gown with dazzling jewels from the sponsor BVLGARI, while Lady Kitty and Lottie wore near-identical gowns as they rubbed shoulders with a host of stars including Sam Smith, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Elton John and his husband David Furnish.

As ever, Elton's events drew out the great and glam of the showbiz world - with each star vying to look their very best for the charitable event, where guests drank Belvedere (RED) Martinis, which was laden with diamonds, gowns and tuxedos.

Glowing Ellie was at the forefront of the glamour as she sizzled in her slinky grey gown which boasted a structured top which cascaded off her shoulder and a slashed velvet skirt to best display her toned legs.

Her blonde locks were perfectly coiffed to tumble over her shoulder from a centre parting while her make-up was kept dewy and natural with a slick of clear gloss helping highlight her plump pout.

While Lady Kitty is best known for her sophisticated style, she showed off a sexier side when she stunned in a racy black bustier-style dress. The lace frock was perfectly fitted and nipped in, showcasing her incredible figure.

Swimmer Mark Foster was cutting a sharp figure at the event as he made his first public appearance since coming out as gay earlier in the week. He revealed he felt he had not been true to himself as he 'tiptoed around' issues over his sexuality for so long before coming out as gay.

In the chat, he said: 'I'm 47, a middle-aged man, and I'm no longer competing. And I'm not the first gay sportsman to come out. Gareth Thomas and Tom Daley led the way. I tiptoed around the issue for so long. I got good at the dance of telling half-truths. I've supported the Terence Higgins Trust, Stonewall, Ben Cohen's Stand Up to Bullying campaign. But I've always done it under the radar.

Elton's efforts to raise awareness and fight against AIDS were lauded by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and singer Aretha Franklin, who closed the event with a collection of songs.

Elton grew teary-eyed onstage after Jeanne White - the mother of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who became the poster child for HIV awareness during the 1980s AIDS crisis - spoke passionately about how John visited her son while he was sick and helped her family financially. She called John her "guardian angel."

The Elton John AIDS Foundation launched in 1992 in the United States and in the United Kingdom a year later. The two organizations have raised more than $385 million since then, and John said 98 percent of what is raised is used to help others.

"The life that Elton John and David (Furnish) have built, the friends they have and the work they do will in the end be the most beautiful song he ever wrote," Clinton said.

Founder: Just weeks ago, a teary and emotional Elton John celebrated the 25th anniversary of his AIDS foundation with a gala in New York City, raising about $4.4 million and telling the audience that they would end the AIDS epidemic by 2030
