The killjoy local council almost put the kibosh on Stella McCartney’s Christmas lights, claiming they would make her shop stand out too much on Bruton Street (where her neighbors include Matthew Williamson and Kenzo). It’s true, of course—I’m sure you can see the store from space—but, for Stella’s sake, it’s a good thing the spirit of the season prevailed. “I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t have my lights,” she said, as she greeted guests at last night’s switch-on. “Is Kate inside?” the paps wailed. Unfortunately, there was no Moss, but London lovelies like Tiphaine Chapman, Rosemary Ferguson, and Trish Simonon added some glamorous sparkle with their beads and sequins. The crush inside the store also induced another kind of shimmer (the kind that comes from beads of perspiration), so it was a relief to get back outside to watch the lights go on and experience the live wonder of the British comedy troupe the Mighty Boosh, who did a very creditable take on a cross-dressing hard rock band. Noel Fielding looked especially fetching in a little vintage dress (even better out of it, Stella claimed). Then it was back inside for more Champagne and mini mince pies.
