Dazzling Liz back in limelight

Liz Hurley dazzled onlookers when she made her first public appearance since becoming a mother wearing one of her trademark dresses.

The Hollywood actress showed she had no trouble losing the extra pounds after giving birth to son Damian Charles Hurley a few months ago.

She looked stunning in an ivory sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline as she took her place at a charity dinner in Central London last night.

She arrived in a chauffeur driven limousine and stepped from the car hand in hand with David Furness, partner of pop superstar Sir Elton John.

Other celebrities who arrived for the event included socialite Ivana Trump and Dominic Lawson.

The charity evening being held at the Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair was in aid of KIDS, a British charity that helps 4,000 children with disabilities in the UK each year. Hurley, 37, is patron of the organisation.

More than 1,000 guests paid £100 (€156) to attend a fundraising champagne reception and private view of the antiques fair and others paid extra to attend a lavish dinner party which ran until midnight.
