PRIYANKA, ANNE AND ZENDAYA PUT ON A SPARKLING DISPLAY TO CELEBRATE JEWELLERY LAUNCH IN VENICE
Hollywood came to Venice thanks to Bulgari, who put on a dazzling display in the Italian city with a little help from its celebrity ambassadors.
Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas was on glittering form to see the luxury jewellery brand’s latest collections, demonstrating that when it comes to all-out glamour, she definitely makes the cut.
Modelling a couture look from Miss Sohee, the 40-year-old star (left) posed against the scenic backdrop of Venice’s waterways, dripping in gems and soaking up the atmosphere.
Also taking a shine to the Mediterranea collection, which was revealed in a catwalk show at the Palazzo Ducale in St Mark’s Square, were fellow actresses Anne Hathaway and Zendaya (both right), who ensured all eyes were on her Serpenti necklace, which was perfectly framed by the cut of her Richard Quinn black velvet evening dress.
“Last night was a dream,” she later told fans on Instagram.
Oscar winner Anne, meanwhile, teamed her Bulgari gems with the ultimate haute hoodie: an Atelier Versace dress encrusted with gold and silver rhinestones and featuring a detachable hood.
“I feel weirdly confident having a hood over my head,” she once said. “There’s something protective about it.”
JO WOOD HAPPY TO BE A PAPER PUSHER AT GLITZY CELEBRATION
A glittering wall-to-wall gathering of family and famous friends rolled out to celebrate the launch of Jo Wood’s colourful new venture – her debut wallpaper collection, JoJo & Trixie, a vintage-inspired range in collaboration with her close friend Katherine Trigg (left, with Jo).
Among the VIP guests who rocked up were Jo’s artist daughter Leah, from her marriage to Rolling Stones star Ronnie, who proudly gave her mum a big hug (far right).
One range of the sustainable collection, which features fig leaves, florals and a playful bathing scene, is named after Leah’s eight-year-old son Otis.
“It was my love of vintage wallpaper that inspired me,” Jo tells HELLO!. “We’ve also created a paper similar to one in the house I shared with Ronnie. But the new alien design is my favourite. I’m papering my library with that one.
“Being creative is important to me – it runs in the family,” she continues. “So to do this with Katherine, a brilliant artist, is a joy.”
Also enjoying the aperitifs at London’s exclusive Maddox Tavern were event organiser Yasmin Mills, who brought her pup Fox as her plus-one (inset right), singer Shirlie Kemp, TV chef Tonia Buxton, Tony n’Tina’s Wedding star Ben Ofoedu, DJ Neil Fox and psychic Sally Morg
