A star studded guest list attended the third annual Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball last night.

Hosted by Vanessa Feltz at the Landmark Hotel in London, the ball was established in memory of the late singer after her death in 2011 and raises money for disadvantaged young people.

Lady Victoria Hervey posed for photos on the pink carpet in a slinky silver gown with sheer panelling.

X Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke glammed up in a green sequin floor length gown.

Speaking to London Live at the event, the Broken Heels singer said of Amy: “When I met her I was a crazy fan and she calmed me down, it was at the BRIT Awards one year. She was so welcoming, so humble and such a sweetheart, it was a pleasure meeting her.

"She showed me never to give up. Amy was someone who never ever gave up. The fact that her foundation gives people a chance to improve their lives, to have hope and courage I think is something to be celebrated.”

Burke was joined at the fundraising event by talks show host Graham Norton who suited up with a bow tie, fashion designer Elizabeth Emanuel and The Voice winner Jermaine Jackman who looked dapper in a black suit with a red bow tie.

Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse was in attendance in a Union Jack waistcoat with a picture of his daughter emblazoned on the back.

Speaking at the event he said: "We are so grateful to all those who have contributed to this ball. By buying tables, bidding at the auction and showing support, they are giving young people opportunities. It is wonderful to show everyone where the money goes and for them to meet the fantastic young people they are supporting."

A charity auction hosted by Jon Snow was held to raise money with a selection of Snow’s ties being sold, signed guitars by Duran Duran and One Direction, as well as a tour of the set of EastEnders - which was personally auctioned off by Barbara Windsor and raised £5000.
