SECRETS OF A CELEBRITY PARTY PLANNER

It's midnight on the evening of the 2025 Brit Awards and Charli XCX - who has just been awarded five of the coveted music trophies has pulled up outside Claridge's hotel for the Warner Music x Hennessy "It's Going to be Bananas" afterparty. On the door, ready to usher her inside, is acclaimed global events designer Jason Morais, the man who's spent the past eight months putting this spectacular event together.

Inside, celebrities crowd the famous hotel's ballroom, which has been transformed with bejewelled banana chandeliers swinging from the ceiling, giant gold monkeys guarding the doors and a disco lined with inflatable walls.

Actors Raff Law and Russell Tovey and model Lennon Gallagher can be seen dancing to DJ Mike Skinner's set, while Cruz Beckham looks smitten with girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

Earlier, Rocco Ritchie had brought the house down when he played two of his mum Madonna's biggest hits Vogue and Music - during his DJ set.
