When Elton throws a party, darling, it’s pretty goddamn fabulous — and the Argento Ball, celebrating 25 years of the Elton John Aids Foundation, was no exception: Nicole Scherzinger all asparkle in Bulgari diamonds, Elizabeth Hurley and Russell Tovey tucking into lobster croquettes and Ed Sheeran ending up sitting in Elton’s lap when he wasn’t still standing.
