An article at vogue.co.uk describes an event which took place at Kensington Palace, London on Tuesday:
MARIO'S ROYAL PARTY
VERY much considered a member of fashion royalty, Mario Testino invited all his most esteemed friends to Kensington Palace for the private view of the exhibition of photographs of Diana, Princess of Wales last night. In the lofty, awe-inspiring surrounds of the Palace, guests Alexandra Shulman, Suzy Menkes, Lady Helen Taylor, Liberty Ross, Alice Temperley, Jade Parfitt, Stella Tennant, and Jacquetta Wheeler toured rooms full of larger-than-lifesize photos of Diana laughing, posing and looking, according to Princes William and Harry, "most like" their mother in real life. Her dresses, too, were on display – strikingly stiff in their glass cases – which brought to mind the stark contrast of Diana's life as a natural woman with her ceremonial, regimental role as a public figure. Then we were lead past a seated orchestra through several ornamental rooms, with floorboards so shiny and ceilings so high we were tempted to start ballroom dancing there and then (or "do the dance from Flashdance" as one over excited fashionista threatened to), before enjoying Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Champagne and nibbles offered by white-gloved waiters. Quite the done thing. (November 23 2005, AM)
Althought the article does not name Hayley, the proof can be seen at WireImage.com where the following pic is one of 20 to appear.
