Flashbulb! The best parties around town this week

Christine and the Queens at the Cartier party

Rix or treat Chelsea

Camilla Elphick, Meg Matthews and Lucy Williams headed down to the King’s Road to celebrate Rixo’s new pop-up: a smorgasbord of silky numbers, perfect for summer (anyone heading to the races or a wedding: take note). Fuel for flicking through the racks came in the form of kombucha and salted caramel brownies.

Clash course, Paris

ES Magazine hopped on the Eurostar for Cartier’s Clash de Cartier gala dinner in Paris, where Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton snuggled on the red carpet and Beth Ditto rocked a mouthguard (yep, really). Our new life goal?

To dance as well as Christine and the Queens, whose barnstorming performance had everyone on their feet.

Kiss and Teller, Mayfair

Juergen Teller brought the brights in his neon hat and jacket at the unveiling of his new exhibition at Bonhams, New Bond Street. Emma Salahi wasn’t far behind in her fuchsia heels and matching hairband, as she sipped champagne with Dame Vivienne Westwood, Charles Aboah and Camilla Lowther.

Best of Luck, Mayfair

Lucky London: this summer, Mayfair will see the launch of Lucky Cat, Gordon Ramsay’s new, Asian-inspired restaurant. The sparkling sake was flowing at the preview, which saw Isaac Carew and Laura Whitmore taste test recipes from soy-spiked kingfish to asparagus with smoked ponzu — whipped up by the man himself.
