The Duchess of Cambridge's personal stylist partied with friends in blackface at an Indian-themed fancy dress party.
Former retail editor of British Vogue Virginia Chadwyck-Healey was caught on a night out where other revellers wore brown facepaint and turbans.
The 36-year-old was spotted alongside her husband Oliver Chadwyck-Healey, an Old Etonian and friend of Prince William from their days at St Andrew's.
He painted his face brown for the occasion, reports Mail Online.
Also on the star studded guest list was Prince George's godfather Oliver Baker, Sotheby's director Mark Griffith-Jones, and Ed Gribbon, who shared a house with Kate and Will during their university days.

As well as numerous guests wearing blackface, one man put a tea-towel on his head in a bid to resemble Arab dress.
Prince George’s future godfather wore a gold Indian outfit and turban, while Mr Gribbon was pictured embracing a friend in blackface.
The party took place in 2007 and was attended by about 100 people.
Mrs Chadwyck-Healey became friends with Kate during their time at St Andrew's.

She was recently hired by the Duchess to freshen up her wardrobe while regular fashion fixer Natasha Archer is on maternity leave.
Mrs Chadwyck-Healey is the daughter of the 3rd Lord Strathalmond and has two young daughters with her Old Etonian husband, Oliver Chadwyck-Healey.
Of her time at Kate and William's wedding she wrote: "To my great surprise, I found myself included in the fashion reviews as one of the best-dressed wedding guests.
"Royal protocol had to come first, but I wanted to feel like I had an identity amid the sea of celebrities, friends, military personnel, foreign members of state and, of course, the Royal Family."

Royal fashion followers claim the Duchess's style has changed since she brought Mrs Chadwyck-Healey on board.
Over the past few months the Duchess has introduced some subtle changes, the most noted departure from her tried and tested look being the Gucci blouse and wide leg trousers she wore on an outing to the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre in Lambeth, South London.
New items from the likes of Sportmax, Missoni and Manu Atelier have helped to revamp her look.
