There is no bigger poster girl for British party culture than Kate Moss. Whether it be in her saint-like devotion to the fields of Glastonbury, her ability to make even the messiest night out look like an album cover (you may recall Pete Doherty and that window picture) or her Champagne-fuelled behind-the-scenes behaviour at fashion shows — she once described her first 10 years of modelling as “being drunk for a decade” — Kate was born to party. And how fitting, then, that some of Moss’ most iconic party antics have come on the day of her birth.
She’s toned it down in recent years — this year’s 50th birthday celebrations are set to be hosted on the Caribbean island of Mustique, the “gold standard” of luxury retreats that last year played host to the Prince and Princess of Wales' family holiday. Between the non-British locale and Kate’s apparent newfound sobriety, we doubt this year will reach the scale of her previous parties. But then, you know what they say: you can take the girl out of England…
