Olympic Ambassador Jessica Ennis celebrates the launch of OMEGA Westfield Stratford with an intimate evening of music headlined by local talent Professor Green...
Last night saw a host of celebrities brave the wind and the rain to flock to the OMEGA Westfield Stratford Boutique Launch. OMEGA, Official Timekeepers of the London 2012 Olympics, launched its largest boutique in Europe at the gateway to the Olympic Park celebrating East London, the Olympics and some of the best talent from the UK including sport, music, T.V, fashion and film with OMEGA President Stephen Urquhart and Jessica Ennis hosting the evening.
Much loved TV presenter and silver fox George Lamb kicked off the festivities whilst guests drank champagne and Molecular Margaritas. Self-announced Tequila fan, Benedict Cumberbatch was seen trying all four flavours whilst getting ‘Old Boys’ sporting Rugby tips from Rob Webber and Ollie Phillips with some light hearted banter flying about on their WASPs game on Saturday.
Heads swiftly turned when co-host and one of the UK’s British Gold medal hopefuls, Jessica Ennis dazzled the crowd in a jaw dropping black and white ensemble, a far cry from her track gear. Fashionistas Percy Parker and Amy Molyneux both gave their fashion stamp of approval and were heard literally gasping at how beautiful she was. Showcasing another of her talents Jessica also took to the decks with George Lamb to show him how it’s done.
British Songstress Charlene Soraia’s dulcet tones showcased boxing’s hard man David Haye’s softer side as he stood in awe of her raw talent, after which he spoke to her at length making an unlikely alliance again showcasing an eclectic mix of British talent. The highlight of the evening was an amazing set by Professor Green and DJ I.Q. Even male super-model David Gandy rushed to the front of the stage to see UK music sensation blow the roof off the party, although he had competition for his space when Pro Green fans, The Overtones bustled in to see their favourite artist perform a stellar set too.
Immodesty Blaize and Henry Conway were, as usual, in cahoots but swiftly forgot their East London fashion ‘cool’ when faced with sporting legend Linford Christie. Another example of fashion and sports going hand in hand was Patrick Grant and Olympic swimmer Mark Foster chatting about the importance of a Saville Row suit, especially as Mark finds the perfect fit hard to come by due to his swimmers frame. Tudor’s Tamzin Merchant and toy-boy and The Three Musketeers actor Freddie Fox where found canoodling in a corner and looking very much loves young dream with only eyes for each other, and of course the OMEGA watches.
