Elle MacPherson was the b-elle of the ball last night at Elton's lavish summer bash.

She turned up in a flowing dress for the Las Vegas-themed White Tie and Tiara Ball at his mansion in Windsor, Berks. Comedian David Walliams kept to the white tie dress code as he turned up with Lisa Snowdon. Even TV chef Gordon Ramsay was spotted hastily sorting his outfit outside. Michael Caine looked like he had misread his invitation.

Elton sang to guests including Sarah Ferguson and Princess Bea to raise cash for his Aids foundation. Kylie Minogue failed to show up forcing Elton to take to the stage instead. Kylie, 39 — who survived a battle with breast cancer — phoned to say she was too tired and needed to rest.

A source said: “Elton doesn’t usually perform at his own parties but he wasn’t upset. Kylie was extremely apologetic. After her cancer scare she isn’t taking any risks.”

The Las Vegas-themed White Tie and Tiara Ball featured a charity auction for the star’s Aids foundation — with a Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe among the lots.
