GLAMOUR FOR A GOOD CAUSE

It is an evening of festive joy and friendship as stars join HELLO! for our special Santa Paws Christmas party, held in support of the Dogs Trust charity at the chic Bluebird Chelsea cocktail bar and restaurant on the King's Road, London.

The TV personality Penny Lancaster, wife of the rock star Sir Rod Stewart, looks as glamorous as ever as she arrives at the party in a leather skirt and berry-coloured blouse.

"I'm excited because Grandma is coming into play," she tells HELLO!. "We have two of Rod's older children coming from America to spend Christmas with us, with their little ones.

"So we've got two two-year-olds and a nine-month-old, and I cannot wait. I've booked a lot of Christmas experiences local to where we live in Essex - a steam-train ride, a lit-up garden area with Father Christmas. I've dressed up the bedrooms with candy canes."
