Bint on a Bonnet

Darcey Bussell doesn't bustle in this little number.

Audi's stand was busy with a bunch of celebs roped in to hype up the debut of the A8 exec barge. This was the British debut of the new V8 car.

The "friends of Audi" included musician Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, Johnny Herbert, television science presenter Kate Humble, TV's East Enders actor Ross Kemp, and some bint named Lisa Butcher (apparently a top 'society' model, whatever that is). She was modelling an exclusive Scott Henshall dress. Graeme Le Saux also sauntered onto the stand.

Others spotted lurking included musician Kenney Jones, Lord March, owner of Goodwood, Donington Park's Tom Wheatcroft, Birmingham City footballer Robbie Savage, and motor racing drivers Mark Blundell and Jason Plato.

Earlier in the week, Britain's leading ballerina, Darcey Bussell, modelled a similar dress with more success. More in PH's new fashion column next week...
