Inside Charli XCX’s celeb-packed Brat fashion week party and ‘stressful’ rehearsal
CHARLI XCX knows how to throw a bloody good party.
The Von Dutch singer hosted a huge bash in East London on Thursday to celebrate her new clothing collection with H&M.
And it was a hotbed of nepo-babies, as the offspring of top 1990s stars turned out in force.
Leading the charge were Rafferty and Iris Law, whose parents are Jude Law and Sadie Frost.
Model Kate Moss’s stunning daughter Lila– who helps to front the new collection – proved with her short gold dress that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Liam Gallagher’s son Lennon cut a moody figure in a dark bomber jacket and black trousers, while his cousin, Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais, opted for a long brown suede jacket that wouldn’t have looked out of place on Harry Potter’s Hagrid.
Of course, Biz’s Jack Hardwick was there at the futuristic venue as well – though he has no famous parents to report.
Models Mia Regan, Molly Moorish-Gallagher and Naomi Campbell were also on hand, though I imagine the catwalk veteran felt like some doting aunt as she partied alongside the kids of her peers.
During the evening, Charli took to the stage to belt out some of her biggest hits as her famous pals watched on.
While the show went off without a hitch, I’m told that the singer, who has dominated the charts this summer thanks to her sixth album Brat, was secretly worried that things would not go to plan.
A source revealed: “Charli is a professional and the performance went off without a hitch but the rehearsals were another story.
“She arrived at the venue hours early to run things through, and it’s lucky she did.
“At one point near the start of the set she is meant to pull down a giant curtain but she couldn’t do it.
“It took her five attempts to make it work and she was getting stressed.”
The source added: “Even in rehearsals though, she looked glam and fashionable.
“Charli didn’t just rock up in trackie bottoms. She was in this blazer and really going for it.”
This week Charli announced a remixed version of Brat, with Billie Eilish, Troye Sivan and Lorde.
In what must be one of the longest album titles ever, it’s called . . . deep breath . . . Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat Remix Album.
The record is out October 11, and something tells me we are about to enter a Brat autumn.
