Amid the UK heatwave, celebrities braved the scorching evening in London for an invitation-only ticket at the Serpentine Gallery summer party. Actress Salma Hayek led the stars as they gathered together for the annual fundraising event and the guestlist included everyone from Sienna Miller through to Rebel Wilson. 

For the first time since the beginning of the event in 2000, just one artist co-hosted The Summer Party. The arrivals put on a strong display with some stunning looks…

The actress looked chic

Rebel Wilson

Pitch Perfect star Rebel was a lady-like vision in a Louis Vuitton shirt dress in a monochrome print, paired with LV accessories of a baby pink bag and golden heels. She attended with her wife, Ramona Agruma.

Isla Fisher

Isla Fisher's fiery mermaid waves stole the show (as usual) but coming a close second was her figure-hugging pastel pink dress. The column design was incredibly simple with a few strategically placed floral vibes on the corset. The ultimate feminine look.

Love Island presenter Maya Jama took time out of her busy schedule to attend the evening, and she did so in a statement bandeau dress with a bold snake print all over.

Sienna Miller, who gave birth just last month, wowed in a silky midi dress in a champagne hue with a plunging neckline. Bizarrely, the star wore a fur jacket draped over her shoulders, despite the record-breaking temperatures in the city.

The singer went for all black

Ellie Goulding

Black may not be the go-to colour for summer outfits, but Ellie Goulding still looked cool and breezy in her chic trouser and top combo. The off-the-shoulder corset top featured feathers and glitter and she teamed it with sheer trousers.

Pixie Lott

Ruffles, embroidery and embellishments - Pixie Lott's mint-hued gown had it all. The star wore her signature blonde locks in a half-up half-down style, complementing the girlie dress.

Model and singer Pixie Geldof was among the celebrity crowd at the event and she went for a heatwave-approved knee-length, spaghetti-strapped dress. Interestingly, she teamed the salmon coloured design with eye-popping green heels and a brown bag.

Celia Imrie

Olivier-award winning actress, Celia Imrie, who is also well known for THAT moment in Celebrity Traitors, swoops my rosette for best dressed. The 73-year-old went for old Hollywood glamour with a cream and silver dress featuring extra large feathered sleeves. It's totally a dancefloor dress!
