Pretty in pink, Lady Kitty Spencer<\/a> brought glamour to the British Museum last night as she made a rare public appearance in London.<\/p>\n

The eldest daughter of Charles Spencer<\/a> \u2013 and the late Princess Diana<\/a>‘s niece \u2013 stunned in a corset gown for the inaugural British Museum Ball.<\/p>\n

More than 800 guests attended the fundraising event, which the British Museum hopes will become London’s equivalent of the Met Gala<\/a> in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many paid up to \u00a32,000 a ticket to rub shoulders with the rich and famous.<\/p>\n

Lady Kitty’s sisters, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, were also at the event \u2013 both dressed in rosy hues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pink dress code draws inspiration from the colours of India<\/a> and is a nod to the museum’s Ancient India: Living Traditions exhibition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
