Paris Hilton, Chloe Green and Lady Kitty Spencer attend Cash & Rocket masquerade ball at the V&A

Paris Hilton and Chloe Green were among guests at a black and white masquerade ball at the V&A on Wednesday night.

The Cash & Rocket Ball was held to celebrate the start of an all-female rally from London to Monte Carlo. Now in its 7th year, the drive will see a group of 80 women hit the road to raise money for charities Sumbandila, The Helen Bamber Foundation and Dream for Future Africa Foundation.

Paris Hilton is among the drivers and will be sharing her car (a rare red G-Wagon from Starr Luxury Cars) with her friend Caroline Stanbury, who also joined her at the ball.

Other guests at the gala included Lady Kitty Spencer, Jodie Kidd, Zara Martin and Emeli Sande, who performed after a charity auction. Following the monochrome theme, guests turned out in their finest black tie and most elaborate masks to sip Patron tequila chilli margaritas before sitting down to dinner.
