Kate Moss turns photographer at Marie Curie Cancer fundraiser at Claridges

 
1/29

Kate Moss and Ronnie Wood were among the guests at a fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care at Claridges.

An auction raised around £620,000 for the charity from lots including a portrait session with David Bailey, meeting Sir Elton John and a private dinner at Annabels.

Moss auctioned a Wood painting of his Small Faces cohort, Rod Stewart, for £12,000.

She was among a legion of stars at the event last night, including Yasmin Le Bon, Geri Halliwell, Meg Matthews and Tamara Beckwith.

Perhaps the Croydon-born supermodel, 38, picked up some tips from Bailey, one of Britain’s most celebrated photographers, because soon after she was seen talking to him she borrowed a professional camera and began snapping away.

The model, who attended with her husband Jamie Hince, wore a black long dress with a feather boa.

Also at the event was the Duchess of York and her daughter Princess Beatrice, plus the actress Holly Valance, 29, who wore a long white lace dress, and her fiancé Nick Candy. The most important guests were 12 Marie Curie nurses, who the Duchess spent time talking to about their work.

As a climax to the evening’s festivities, Moss danced as Wood dusted off his Fender Stratocaster and jammed Mustang Sally with Sam Moore of the legendary Sam & Dave soul duo.

The event was hosted by Heather Kerzner, the ex-wife of billionaire casino and hotel tycoon Sol Kerzner.

She said today: “I am so impressed by the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care it was natural for me to lend my support.

“People don’t like to talk about death but we all have to face it.

“I wanted to help bring money and attention to this incredible charity whose nurses, like angels, bring peace to patients and their families during this devastating time.”
