    Mayfair hotspot No 1 welcomed the Chelsea set for a fundraising dinner last night.

    Nico Jackson And Pippa Middleton

    Pippa Middleton and banker boyfriend Nico Jackson stepped out in style last night as they hit London, sitting down to dinner at the launch of Sugarplum Children; a fundraising initiative for children with diabetes. 

    With a black-tie dress code, the 30-year-old worked an embellished floor-length gown, alongside guests dressed in chic cocktail frocks and razor sharp tuxedos to support the charity at Westminster hotspot Mayfair No 1. 

    Model Poppy Delevingne made the guest list, wowing onlookers in a stunning winter maxi dress by Emilia Wickstead, followed by Tamara Beckwith who worked an elegant lace gown.
