Kate Moss goes wild for Beth Ditto at Fendi after-party in Paris

Kate Moss is not the shy and retiring type, so it's no surprise to see her enjoying a show by pal Beth Ditto.

The supermodel was at the Fendi after-party in Paris held in VIP Room nightclub, where Beth's band The Gossip gave an outrageous performance.

Beth, 27, stripped off an exclusive Karl Largerfeld outfit to reveal spangly hotpants and a sequinned bra top.
Kate obviously enjoyed the performance, waving her hands in the air as Beth cavorted on stage.

The stocky singer went on to remove even more clothes, stripping right down to her underwear, before flinging herself into the crowd.
Kate, 35, laughed and applauded her friend's antics before throwing herself back into the party vibe.The two friends have been snapped around Paris this week, attending the Chanel fashion show together.Kate's boyfriend Jamie Hince was also at the Fendi after-party.Although, the duo committed the worst of fashion crimes by wearing matching colour coordinated grey outfits।The model wore a shimmering gun metal grey dress and fur coat, while Jamie was dressed in tight grey washed-out looking jeans, grey dinner jacket and a skinny black and white stripy scarf.

It was the second fashion faux pas Kate has made in as many days.
Earlier in the week she was snapped wearing a nun-like outfit - a long black shapeless dress and a plain hairstyle.Perhaps her pal Beth could give her some advice - wearing nothing is better than wearing it wrong!

Kate's golden new look

KATE MOSS has been immortalised in a solid gold statue - in a beyond belief bendy yoga move.

The supermodel’s metal effigy, Siren, is worth a whopping £1.5million and shows Kate's body so contorted, it seemingly defies the natural limitations of human limbs.

Artist MARC QUINN’s work will on display at the British Museum’s Statuephilia exhibition in London from tomorrow.

Kate Moss gets the golden touch as she's immortalised in gold

She's been immortalised in bronze, painted in oils and photographed all over the world.

Now Kate Moss - fashion icon, mother and long time paparazzi favourite - has been paid the kind of compliment normally reserved for Egyptian queens and mythological goddesses. She has been sculpted in gold.

A new statue of the controversial model is to unveiled at the British museum for an exhibition in October.



The 34-year-old will join some of the nation's other great treasures, including a centuries old statue of a naked Aphrodite, on loan from the Queen.

This is the first teasing glimpse of the £1.5million likeness of Kate, one of a series by Marc Quinn, the artist responsible for the 'Alison Lapper Pregnant' sculpture that adorned the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square for 20 months.

The museum released only a detail of the Kate Moss work in the hope that the full image could remain private until its unveiling.

The statue, entitled 'Siren', depicts her in a yoga contortion. If it follows the theme of his previous Kate Moss works, it will place her feet somewhere near her ears and leave various other bits of her leotard-clad body inelegantly exposed to public gaze.
The statue is said to be the largest of its kind since ancient Egyptian times. It is fashioned from solid gold. But because the statue is hollow, it weighs only 50 kilograms (110 lb) - possibly a little more than the waif-like subject on which it is modelled.

The £1.5million estimated value is believed to relate only to fabrication costs, financed between the artist and his gallery, White Cube. But the sculpture is certain to be worth far more if it is ever sold.

Moss has already proved irresistible to a succession of artists, including Lucian Freud, whose nude portrait of her sold for £3.9million in 2005.

Two years ago Quinn exhibited a painted bronze statue of Moss with her legs and arms knotted above her head. (Kate didn't do the yoga pose herself, incidentally - it was performed by a stand-in and her features were sculpted in later).

Quinn expressed a fascination with the 'mystery' of someone who had captured 'the spirit of the age', as he phrased it.

He believed her difficulties with the law - she escaped charges despite being videoed snorting a white powdered substance - made her image 'more potent'.

Yesterday the Croydon-born star - whose curves were on full display in Quinn's previous works and left precious little mystery for the spectator - appeared in an unconnected series of raunchy poses for a magazine photo-shoot.

She was quoted as saying she adores boobs and thinks breast implants sported by some of her friends are 'awful'.

The statue is to go on show at the British Museum from October 4 to January 25 as part of its 'Statuephilia' exhibition. The display is designed 'to highlight the perennial potency of sculpture' by showcasing the work of contemporary British artists, including Damien Hirst and Antony Gormley.

Posh struts out the Cruella look

Posh struts out the Cruella look
Victoria Beckham's latest fashion idol looks to be Disney's wicked Cruella de Vil, if her latest fashion calamity is anything to go by.

The queen WAG rolled out a frock shocker at a star studded art exhibition in New York, refusing to crack a smile in her latest high collared ensemble.

The 34-year-old let her luscious legs do all the talking, through a full length split as hubby Becks looked on bemused.


The self professed matriarch of fashion opted for what looked like a shredded net curtain from the attic in a bid to out shine the world's most famous glamour pusses.
Sadly for Posh, she struggled as she was out posed and out dressed by the world's top beauties including Beyonce, Gisele, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Claudia Schifer and Kate Moss, all on the guest list.

The couture was out for the opening of 'Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy' Costume Gala in New York', at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala.

The exhibition celebrates costumes worn by actors in major superhero movies including Superman, Batman and Catwoman to name a few.

Singer Amy Winehouse was originally lined up to entertain the guests but was dropped before the event, after organisers said 'she was considered, but then we moved on from her.'

Kate Moss' anti-royalist lover

Kate Moss' boyfriend Jamie Hince is an anti-royalist.The Kills singer - who has been dating supermodel Kate since last September - is fiercely patriotic, and despite being opposed to the monarchy, admits he loves Queen Elizabeth.

He said: "I really love England and English things, but I not really sure how to deal with them politically in my head. Even though I'm an anti-royalist, I really like that the Queen's there - you know?"
Jamie also revealed that while he has never been particularly talented at writing songs, his determined attitude has helped him become a successful musician.

He said: "All those blues singers used to talk about voodoo and music in the same sentence, because they recognised that it wasn't necessarily the verses or the notes or the rhythms that made a song really electrifying, it was something in the attitude of people playing it. And that is what I have always chased."
