Harry Styles gets the giggles as he joins the fashion pack in front row at Henry Holland show

Harry Styles has been a regular at London Fashion Week for the past few seasons.
So it was no surprise to see the One Direction heart-throb on the front row of his pal Henry Holland's House Of Holland Spring/Summer 2014 show on Saturday.
The 19-year-old singer joined his BFF Nick Grimshaw and their usual social set Pixie Geldof, Kelly Osbourne and Alexa Chung at the London Fashion Week show.

Although evidently enjoying the view of the slender models showcasing Holland's latest collection, Harry appeared to find the show entertaining as he was spotted bursting into laughter during the show.
However, he managed to compose himself somewhat and wolf-whistled his pal Henry who came out to greet his public at the climax of the show.
Harry was in good company in the front row at the BFC Showspace at Somerset House, squeezed in between Radio 1 DJ Nick and pop star Nicola Roberts.

Former Girls Aloud star Nicola appeared to be going for a retro look in a '70s-inspired T-shirt and matching skirt.
The 27-year-old had styled her red hair in a victory rolls-meets-beehive fusion style.

Meanwhile, Daisy smouldered in a sexy, sheer black dress, which she coupled with a long burgundy maxi coat.

Cara Delevingne makes a stunning entrance to London Fashion Week in sheer lace blouse as she hosts W magazine party

There were fears she may not turn up at London Fashion Week after recently complaining about how 'horrible' it was.
However, despite her misgivings, Cara Delevingne made a stunning entrance to this season's Fashion Week as she gave a sexy twist to a trouser suit.
The model, 21, showed her cheeky side as she went braless in a sheer lace blouse underneath a metallic trouser suit as she arrived at a LFW party.

Sheer thing: Cara Delevingne shows some skin in a lace blouse and metallic trouser suit at the W magazine dinner on Saturday night

Hostess with the mostess: The 21-year-old was hosting the party, which celebrated her September cover of the magazine

She completed her androgynous-meets-sexy ensemble with a pair of black heels, with her hair in small plaits and heavy eyeliner.
Cara was the host of the W magazine party at the London Edition Hotel to celebrate the September issue, which featured her on the cover.
Despite flying in from New York on Friday following a turn on the catwalk on the Marc Jacobs show on Thursday, there was no sign of jetlag on the model as she partied with her pals.

Model behaviour: Cara was joined at the dinner by fellow model Jourdan Dunn

Joining Cara at the party was pop star Ellie Goulding, fellow model Jourdan Dunn and TV personality Kelly Osbourne.
Jourdan made a late pit-stop at the party after earlier live tweeting during an episode of The X Factor.
The mother-of-one, 23, showed off her long legs in a black and gold pleated skirt and matching blazer.

In demand: Cara's appearance at the London Fashion Week party comes two days after she walked at the New York shows

What's up girlfriend! Singer Ellie Goulding joined the party after checking out some fashion shows earlier in the day

Meanwhile, Kelly and Ellie turned up after previously attending the House Of Holland show at Somerset House.
As fashion fans will know, Cara opened up on her battle with psoriasis in the September issue of W, admitting it flared up during the last London Fashion Week.
She told the publication: 'It only happened during the Fashion Weeks, which are, of course, the worst time of year for me to be covered in scabs. Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease, and I’m sensitive.

Smilers: Cara was joined by TV personality Kelly Osbourne, who went for a casual look in jeans and leather jacket

Friends in high places: Cara was joined by her flatmate Georgia May Jagger

'Kate Moss saw me before the Louis Vuitton show at 3am when I was being painted by people to cover the scabs.
'She said, "This is horrible! Why is this happening? I need to help you." She got me a doctor that afternoon.'
Cara's 'saviour' Kate also was a late arrival at the W party, having earlier attended a Longchamp bash.

Fashionable friends: Kate joined W magazine's style director Edward Enninful

Meanwhile, Cara hit the headlines earlier this month when she declared Fashion Week was 'horrible'.
She told Industrie magazine: 'I mean it isn't horrible really, it's amazing. But having to work that much every day is.
'What I find hard is having to deal with all the people and all the c**p. It's when the press and fans are following me most, and it's when I work the hardest, so it's kind of like, f**k.'

'Flabbergasted' stepmother Sian hits back at Blair wedding snub: As Euan celebrates idyllic ceremony, TV star tells of 'rudeness' at being disinvited (and asks: 'is it because I was against Iraq war?')

Cherie Blair declared the bride the most beautiful she had ever seen. The groom, her son Euan, looked similarly ‘amazing’. And filled with ‘breathtaking’ flowers, the church in the quiet Buckinghamshire village of Wotton Underwood was a worthy backdrop.
In fact, the wedding of the Blairs’ first-born Euan was pretty near  perfect. Even the rain held off.
But one dark cloud hovered over the big day in the form of TV weathergirl Sian Lloyd, the stepmother of the bride, Suzanne Ashman.

Happy couple: Euan and Suzanne emerge beaming through the autumn leaves as friends throw confetti

Tying the knot: Euan Blair and Suzanne Ashman emerge from the church in Buckinghamshire

Barred: Stepmother of the bride, TV weather girl Sian Lloyd with husband Jonathan Ashman

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Miss Lloyd has admitted being ‘flabbergasted’ at the decision to  ban her from the ceremony.
Having been invited some months ago, she discovered last week she was no longer welcome and was met with a ‘wall of silence’ when she sought an explanation.

EUAN NAILS NERVES WITH PAMPER SESSION FROM DAD

He is said to be keen to follow his father Tony’s footsteps into Parliament. But Euan Blair showed that when it comes to preparing for his wedding, he is also keen on the pampering that appeals to his mother, Cherie.

The ex-Prime Minister’s son was seen having an executive footcare treatment at Champneys spa in Tring, Hertfordshire, last Thursday. Cherie and his sister, Kathryn, enjoyed luxury manicures alongside him. They were accompanied by a blonde, believed to be a bridesmaid.

Dressed in a white robe, Euan sat next to Cherie, also in a white robe. His treatment lasted 25 minutes, cost £35 and involved cutting and filing nails, removing skin and massaging the feet.

Euan was laughing and chatting to Cherie as he relaxed in the nail salon, which appeared to have been reserved for them. One guest said: ‘I couldn’t believe it when I saw Cherie and her party.

‘They were relaxed and seemed to have come from the house, where the luxury bedrooms are.’
It is also believed Euan had a facial and a body massage to make him picture-perfect for his nuptials. It is thought he opted for the men’s grooming package – which costs £85 and lasts for one hour and 25 minutes.

The party of four are believed to have stayed in four premiere rooms attached to the original house. A two-night break in a premiere room costs £647 per room.

‘She is puzzled at the reason behind such rudeness,’ a close friend told The Mail on Sunday yesterday. ‘She is flabbergasted at the “disinvite”.’
Friends said Miss Lloyd, 55, has made no secret of her staunch opposition to the war in Iraq and has been strongly critical of Mr Blair’s ‘warmongering words about Syria’.
This, she feels, might lie behind the snub, even if only in part.
While her comments were never delivered publicly, it is thought they may have reached the former Prime Minister’s ears.
There was some speculation that Miss Lloyd would attend the ceremony with husband Jonathan Ashman, regardless of being ‘uninvited’ – but she insisted that was never the case.
‘No, no reinvite has followed the disinvite,’ she told a friend in an email. ‘Original invite on table  here, with Sian & Jonathan writ large on envelope . . . but alas, alack & woe is me.’
In another message on Friday, she said: ‘Designer dress and posh high heels returned to wardrobe with a sigh . . . back to weather charts to try and deliver a sunny day for tomorrow’s newlyweds.’
After lunching with girlfriends yesterday – and raising ‘a glass of bubbly to the happy couple’ – Miss Lloyd was planning to ‘curl up on the sofa and watch a film’.
Some in Miss Lloyd’s circle say her fractious relationship with the first wife of her husband is probably a more credible explanation for  her exclusion.
‘Sian says it might be due to the ex-wife resenting how happy she is with Jonathan,’ said another source close to Miss Lloyd.
At first, Mr Ashman, a 64-year-old motor-racing entrepreneur, was so incensed at his wife’s treatment that he threatened to boycott the wedding. However, Miss Lloyd convinced him to change his mind and give his daughter away.
‘Sian said she was pleased she  persuaded him to attend as it was the right thing to do. She said Jonathan absolutely hated the idea of going without her,’ said a friend.
Yesterday at All Saints, Wotton Underwood, ten minutes’ walk from the Blairs’ mansion, all rancour  was forgotten.
As he watched his 25-year-old daughter, in an oyster cream dress, step from a chauffeur-driven black taxi, Mr Ashman announced: ‘I am very proud.’
And after praising the bride,  Cherie Blair said of her 29-year-old son, who wore a blue lounge suit with a white carnation: ‘Didn’t my boy look amazing!’ Earlier, at the church door, an emotional Mr Blair held his son’s face in his hands and kissed him on the cheek.
Mr Blair said later: ‘It is a very happy day. We are grateful to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.’

At the wedding, meanwhile, guests danced the night away in a marquee squeezed between two tall hedges, a short stroll through ornamental gardens from the main house.
In a romantic detail, either side of the marquee’s entrance was decorated with two entwined hearts.
The Blairs bought 17th-century South Pavilion, worth £5.75 million, in 2008. Once home to the actor  Sir John Gielgud, it has seven bedrooms and grounds that include a former farmhouse now used by security staff.
Sources recalled yesterday how Miss Lloyd’s relationship with her husband’s Turkish-born first wife, Sedef, was ‘difficult from day one’.

Doting father: Jonathan Ashman looks tearful at his glowing daughter as she gets ready to go. There is no sight or mention of his new wife Sian Lloyd, who was banned from attending

‘She [Sian] always felt like she was seen as a bit cheap and on the make,’ said a friend. ‘Sian tried to make an effort with Suzanne but because of her mother she wouldn’t give an inch. They both looked down on her and she gained the impression that they thought she was a bit of an embarrassment.
‘There was slow-burning animosity, then they had a heated conversation on the phone about two months ago when Sian asked straight out why she [Sedef] had a problem with her. It never recovered from there.’
Yesterday, Sedef, the daughter of the former mayor of the Turkish capital, Ankara, cut a striking figure in a short blue dress. Her marriage to Mr Ashman ended 13 years ago and she arrived at the wedding alone in a Bentley, declining to comment.

Parents of the bride: Jonathan Ashman, without Sian Lloyd, arrived to let his daughter go

Uninvited: Sian Lloyd, who married Suzanne Ashman's father Jonathan in 2007, allegedly made a comment about Suzanne's mother

A Turkish TV crew followed her every move, explaining that there was delight in Turkey that a former British Prime Minister was now connected to a distinguished Turkish family.
Euan Blair has been dating Suzanne for eight years, having been introduced by former Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon.
Miss Ashman read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Trinity College, Oxford, after leaving the private St Paul’s Girls’ School in South-West London.
She met Euan Blair while on work experience with Mr Hoon and later worked at Tony Blair’s Faith Foundation. Last year, after working for American merchant bank Morgan Stanley, Euan became a business development manager at the Coventry-based Sarina Russo Job Access – part of the Government’s Work Programme – in a move said by some to be a stepping stone towards following his father into politics.

Reception: Gets have all made their way back to South Pavilion, the Blair's new Buckinghamshire mansion, for the wedding reception

Miss Lloyd, who once appeared on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, met Jonathan Ashman at a St David’s Day party at the Palace of Westminster hosted by then Secretary of State for Wales Peter Hain in 2007.
Mr Ashman proposed to her in December that year at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania while they were on holiday.
The couple married just weeks later at the Portmeirion Hotel in Gwynedd, Wales.
