Packham, the Londoner who has dressed Kate Middleton and numerous Hollywood stars, said in a backstage interview she was partly inspired by the loose silhouettes and chunky jewel embellishments popular in the 1970s.

Her particular muse for some looks? The ’70s glamour puss Bianca Jagger. Packham’s ode to Mick’s ex included loose satin jumpsuits in red with chunky jewel accents.

Packham trimmed beaded cocktail dresses with feathers and sent out a long ostrich-feather coat in blue.

The mood was playful disco in spots and classic elegant in others, thanks to another era in fashion to inspire Packham: the 1930s.
