Over the last fortnight, London’s top galleries have been competing with one another to host the best party of the season. There was much buzz around the grand reopening of the National Portrait Gallery; the V&A pulled out all the stops with a special performance from the Sugababes; whilst the Royal Academy of Art and the National Gallery also hosted glitzy dos.
But, last night’s bash undoubtedly takes the trophy. It may have been grey overhead but the summer vibes were palpable at Tuesday evening’s Serpentine Summer Party. An infinitely more grand affair than last year’s, Hyde Park played host to the likes of Andrew Garfield, Bianca Jagger, Diane Kruger, Natasha Lyonne, Orlando Bloom, Anna Wintour, Venus Williams, Ruth Wilson, Minnie Driver and Nile Rogers — to name a few.
