Autore's pre-BAFTA party

Pre-BAFTA excitement reached fever pitch among the luvvies as the awards' official jewellers, Autore, hosted a rocking party at Sketch. The theme, films and pearls, inevitably called to mind screen goddess Audrey Hepburn. Over Tattinger champagne and oysters, Amanda Donohoe swapped pearls of wisdom with Michelle Collins, and Jodie Kidd borrowed a leather wrap scattered with Tahitan South Sea-pearls from her host for her red-carpet moment. Nick Rhodes, with girlfriend Meredith Ostrom in tow, added a touch of rock 'n' roll by turning up in eyeliner, and Phil Glenister, of Calendar Girls, chatted with Sorcha Cusack about his naked co-stars. Hot couples of the evening were Dr Zhivago stars Hans Matheson and Emma Ferguson, and Lady Emily Compton and her dancing partner, Guess model, Landi.
