Lily Allen attends an award do, but it's Claudia Winkleman's turn to flash her nipples...

Lily Allen might have looked like Holly Golightly with a Gok Wan restyle at the Harper's Bazaar Woman of the Year shindig, but at least she didn't end up leaving the award do the way she left this one

Other guests able to get past Claudia Winkleman's nipples witnessed Vanessa Redgrave being handed the toff bible's lifetime achievement award.

Actress Vanessa Redgrave, whose daughter Natasha Richardson died after a skiing accident earlier this year, was honoured with a lifetime achievement award.
The Oscar-winning star was presented with the prize at Harper’s Bazaar magazine’s Women Of The Year Awards at a glitzy event at London’s Dorchester hotel last night.
Presenting the award to Redgrave, actor Ralph Fiennes also paid tribute to Richardson with whom he said he shared a “great friendship”.
“If I think of a woman of truth, of loyalty, of integrity, of passion, of compassion, a woman with a great heart and a woman of all elements, I think of Vanessa Redgrave,” he said.
“If I think of an actress of infinite range and infinite variety, I think of Vanessa.
“If I think of a woman who gives determined voice to those who have no voice, I think of Vanessa.
“And if I just think of a fantastic, beautiful, sexy woman, I think of Vanessa.
“You might think I’m a bit in love but I’m just a fan and a friend, and if I am it’s because of a great friendship I shared with Natasha and through that great friendship I’ve got to know Vanessa, and Natasha was imbued with so many of your fantastic qualities as well as many of her own, and I feel blessed to have had that friendship, and thus through that friendship to have known Vanessa.

  • It sounds like it was a very good award event, Vanessa absolutely deserved that award. I don’t know why but Lilly Allen and Claudia Winkleman both remind me of some female escorts I used to know.

  • Fugly Allen is there because she is a posh little private school bitch making money off pretending to be 'street' - just like dad. The most heinous crime imaginable in my book. I despise everything she stands for.

  • Vanessa Redgrave - champion, supporter and bail-bonder of Islamic Chechen terrorist and separatist Akhmed Zakayev, thought to be a guerrilla fighter against Russian forces and one of the masterminds behind the Moscow Theatre hostage crisis. His group is sponsored by and supports Al Qaeda.

    Yup, well-deserved award, although what Fugly Allen was doing there is beyond me...
