Princess Margaret's son, David Armstrong-Jones, enjoyed a glitzy date night with his partner, Isabelle de La Bruyère, at the inaugural amfAR gala in London last Friday. The pair were pictured attending the bash at the newly opened Chancery Rosewood in Mayfair alongside their friend and cake designer, Reem Abu Samra.
While the Earl of Snowdon, 63, donned a black tuxedo for the soiree, art advisor and consultant Isabelle, 54, wowed in a gold lamé dress with a matching bag and high heels for the fundraiser. The gala raised $2.1 million in support of amfAR's biomedical research and advocacy programs, and included performances by Grace Jones and Jess Glynne. The outing is the latest for the couple who began dating last summer. The pair also made public appearances at the Chelsea Flower Show in May and Royal Ascot in June.

Alongside his charity work, David is the founder of furniture company David Linley Furniture Ltd, which is now known simply as LINLEY.

Artistic family
David's passion for the arts and the textile industries has been passed down from his parents – his mother, Princess Margaret, who had artistic interests, particularly in music and ballet, and his father, Antony Armstrong-Jones, who was a renowned photographer.
