    The actress joined the likes of Laura Bailey and Poppy Delevingne at the shoe brand's pre-fall event

    Thandie Newton turned party host last night for Jimmy Choo's summer dinner party in London.

    Co-hosting alongside the luxury shoe label's creative director, Sandra Choi, the actress was the star guest at the party held to celebrate the brand's pre-fall 2013 collection, which is inspired by summer's bumper calendar of social events.

    Dressed in a shimmering sky blue dress with bell sleeves by Stella McCartney teamed with a metallic clutch and peep-toe heels by Jimmy Choo, Thandie led the style charge at the party at the Clifton Nurseries in the Little Venice district of the capital.

    Other famous faces spotted at the bash included models Laura Bailey, Poppy Delevingne, Portia Freeman and Tallulah Harlech, as well as make-up artist Jemma Kidd, designer Jasmine Guinness and Prince Harry's former flame Florence Brudenell-Bruce.

    The installation, which features a whopping 6,000 English country flowers, will reamin at the Clifton Nurseries in London as part of The Chelsea Fringe Festival.
