Geri Halliwell might've caused less offense if she'd dusted off her Buffalo boots and Union Jack mini for her trip out last night... Instead she appeared to have raided Ann Summer's new Sophie Reade range, wearing a see-through nightdress studded in rhinestones. Classy.

With a little help from her Tim Nice but Dim lookalike arm-piece, Henry Cockwith, Gezza has been trying very hard to infiltrate the yah-brigade, so it was no great surprise to see her at the charity ball for the Louis Dundas Palliative Centre. Her rags to riches tale is like a modern spin on Cinderella really... Unfortunately for all of the other guests there, though, she didn't do a runner as the clock struck 12.

Held at Claridges, the ball also brought out 'high-class' tramp, Liz Hurley, as well as a couple of WAGs, but Geri's 'me me me me me' body language still managed to ensure she had all the attention.
