Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elizabeth Hurley exude glamour as they lead the stars on the red carpet at the National Portrait Gallery gala

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elizabeth Hurley were standouts at the National Portrait Gallery gala on Tuesday night, bringing plenty of style and elegance to the event.

Celebrities came together at The National Portrait Gallery for their yearly fundraising gala, the first held since Victoria Siddall became the gallery’s artistic director.

Model Rosie, 38, stunned on the red carpet in a dramatic black dress featuring feathers, a flowing scarf, and a high slit.

Elizabeth, age 60, caught everyone’s eye in a sparkling brown dress with a ruched design, paired with open-toed heels.

She hit the red carpet with Emily Oppenheimer, Beatrice Vincenzini and Tamara Beckwith.

James Corden, 47, and his wife, Julia Carey, 49, both looked stylish for the glamorous event.

Kirstin Scott Thomas, a member of the committee with Zadie Smith and Jenny Saville, looked chic in a patterned dress.

One of the highlights of the gala was a really exciting silent auction. We kicked things off with some amazing experiences – think front-row seats to Roksanda’s Spring/Summer ’27 show next September, and a private behind-the-scenes visit to the set of ‘Slow Horses’ with one of the stars! It’s all about those unforgettable moments, isn’t it?

The event also featured a live performance by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, along with DJ sets from Princess Julia and Hale Zero.

Sophie looked stunning in a sparkling dark blue dress, and Russell Tovey, a fellow committee member, looked sharp in a velvet suit.

The National Portrait Gallery holds the largest collection of portraits globally, offering a glimpse into Britain’s story through the lives of those who influenced its past and present.

Rosie’s night out comes after her trip to Paris for Fashion Week earlier this month.

The model attended a number of shows, including Tom Ford, Saint Laurent and Burberry.

Elizabeth recently returned from a trip to Delhi with her 22-year-old son, Damian, and her friend, Trinny Woodall, who owns a beauty business.
