Sir Elton John finally threw a 40s-themed fancy dress birthday bash, which is only an opening for his two years-planned party later this month.
Sir
Elton John threw an elaborate 40s-themed fancy dress party on Tuesday (13.03.07) to celebrate his impending 60th birthday.
The flamboyant singer - who shared the night with photographer friend Sam Taylor Wood who celebrated her 40th birthday - arrived at London's Shoreditch Town Hall dressed as a World War II military officer. He was accompanied by partner David Furnish, who had donned a US Marine uniform.
A host of stars were invited, including
Kate Moss, Sir
Paul McCartney and daughter Stella McCartney,
Elle Macpherson,
Hugh Grant,
Sting,
Kelly Osbourne and
Daniel Craig - who looked dapper in a brown pinstripe 40s suit, complete with trilby hat.
Guests sipped vintage champagne and dined on lobster and chicken. They were also treated to mini-birthday cakes topped with initials of the birthday girl and boy.
The highlight of the evening was when 'EastEnders' star Barbara Windsor burst out of a huge cake on stage dressed as a pink fairy to sing 'Happy Birthday'.
The glamorous event was just a warm-up for Elton's extravagant 60th New York birthday bash later this month. The singer, who hits the milestone age on March 25, has been planning the party for two years.
