Anya Taylor-Joy looks effortlessly chic in a red gingham skirt as she joins glam Diana Ross and her son Evan at a cocktail reception hosted by the music legend's family

Daily Mail​03-07-2025
Anya Taylor-Joy put on a stylish display as she posed with Diana Ross at an intimate cocktail party at The Dorchester's Vesper Bar in London on Thursday.
The Queen's Gambit star, 29, was all smiles as she joined music legend Diana, 81, and the Ross family at the event in honour of Arne Naess. Jr. and Arne's Reserve Caviar.
Norwegian businessman Arne was Diana's second husband and the father of her two sons Ross, 37, and Evan, 36.
The couple divorced in 2000 after 14 years of marriage, and Arne tragically died in January 2004 at the age of 66 in a climbing accident.
Ross and Evan attended Thursday's event with their respective wives Kimberley and Ashlee Simpson - who also brought her son Bronx Wentz - while Diana's daughters Chudney, 49, and Rhonda, 53, also joined the family.
Posing alongside the Ross clan, Anya looked as stylish as ever in a white waistcoat and a red gingham skirt, which she styled with white slip-on heels.
The actress accessorised her look with a simple pendant necklace as she posed alongside Diana and her son Evan.
For the star-studded occasion, Diana cut a glamorous figure in a black tulle gown with a matching shawl, which she teamed with lace gloves.
The singer added some glitz to her look with a pair of statement gold earrings and flashed a huge smile for the cameras.
Meanwhile, Evan cut a dapper figure in a black suit and a red tie as he sweetly wrapped his arm around his mother.
Evan's wife Ashlee looked elegant in a black slip dress as she posed next to her son Bronx Wentz, who she shares with her ex Pete Wentz.
Diana's film producer son Ross also cut a suave figure in an all-black ensemble while his wife Kimberley oozed glamour in a black velvet dress.
Chudney, who Diana shares with her music executive ex-husband Robert Ellis Silberstein, looked equally stylish in a black polka dot dress and heels.
Rhonda, whose father is Motown legend Berry Gordy, cut a chic figure in a cream dress and a black blazer as she joined her extended family at the reception.

Diana also has another daughter Tracee Ellis Ross with her ex-husband Robert, but she did not appear to be in attendance.
It was a rare joint appearance for the Ross clan just weeks after Diana opened up about her kids in a recent interview.
She told The Mirror: 'My family is really my greatest joy and blessing. Rhonda travels with me on tour and will be at the shows, my five children really take care of their mum.'
Diana also proudly showed off her love for her family as she made a rare tribute to them while walking the carpet at the Met Gala.
Diana looked sensational in a floor-grazing white gown complete with a feather-boa-trimmed cape and hat as she made her first appearance at the fashion event in 20 years.
Determined to pay homage to all her children and grandchildren at the event, Diana had all their names sewn onto her extravagant gown.
'My son Evan and a young designer, Ugo Mozie, and I collaborated on the gown and cloak that I wore, we wanted something meaningful,' she explained.
'The 18-foot train stretches across generations with the names of my adult children and grandchildren beautifully embroidered on it, it's beaded and has crystals— the details celebrate my family and our love.'
Diana wrapped up her UK tour at London's O2 Arena on July 1 after performing in Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.

Duke and Duchess of Westminster ‘thrilled' as they welcome their first child

The Duke and Duchess of Westminster have announced the birth of their first child. Billionaire aristocrat Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia, who married last year, have welcomed a baby girl named Cosima Florence Grosvenor, born in London on Sunday. 'The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter,' a spokesperson for the couple said. 'Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well. 'The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.' The duke, one of the UK's biggest landowners, is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and godfather to Prince George and also reportedly to Prince Archie. William acted as an usher at his wedding in Chester Cathedral in June last year but Harry mutually agreed with the groom he would not attend amid his long-running rift with his brother. Hugh, once considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors, became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate aged 25, following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016. His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city centre developments such as Liverpool's One shopping centre. In 2020, the duke donated £12.5 million to the UK's Covid-19 relief effort including funds for NHS Charities Together and for medical research and development.

Louise Redknapp wishes son Charlie a happy 21st birthday as she shares sweet tribute to 'charming young man and partner in crime'

Louise Redknapp has wished her son Charlie a happy 21st birthday as she shared a sweet tribute. The singer, 50, shares two children, Charlie and Beau, 16, with ex footballer Jamie Redknapp, who she split from in 2017 after 19 years of marriage. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Louise shared an array of snaps of herself and Charlie over the years - from baby snaps to recent pictures. 'How did this happen?!' Louise wrote. 'My baby is 21 years old today!!! 'Chaz I am so proud of you and the charming young man you have become, you've been my partner in crime and shadow since day one and nothing makes me happier than seeing you living your best life. 'You have an incredible future ahead of you keep on working hard and absolutely smashing it. I would however like to request that you now at the age of 21 learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we'll get there for next year. 'Happy Birthday Charley, Have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum Xxx.' Earlier this year, Louise revealed why she was painted as the 'villain' following her split from ex-husband Jamie. In an interview, Louise opened up about being accused of walking out on her family and how everyone had an 'opinion'. She told the Independent: 'I was the villain. I'd been lucky in my career because for many years I didn't really have a lot of scrutiny. Then bang, everybody's got an opinion.' 'Anything someone could perceive as negative, I cut out. Nothing I said was right. To defend myself was wrong. To not defend myself was wrong. 'I felt like I was walking up a one-way street with just nowhere to go on it.' Louise also discussed her divorce from Jamie on the Happy Place podcast and credited her two sons for keeping her going during the breakup. She said: 'If I didn't have my kids, I think I would've just given up. I think I just knew that my kids were my everything and they needed me.' The singer admitted that the public scrutiny of her marriage breakdown made the situation even harder to deal with. She added: 'But I can honestly say, when you're going through something so personal in your own turmoil in your own way, but then to get the barrage of judgment and nastiness. 'I never realised people could be so unkind and say such terrible things. I blew my mind.' 'I was going through a lot as it was, I was trying to be strong for my kids, whatever had gone on in our life was private - which I do believe that you're entitled to no matter what. 'And God, I was such a villain, and I was breaking like I was absolutely breaking. 'Beyond what I thought it was possible for a human to break and all along I'm still trying to be a mum. 'And it was just like every time I went out, and I was trying to put a brave face on and do things, like that was wrong if I didn't."
