With the lights of London glittering beneath our feet, Company sipped a deelish range of cocktails at the Tia Maria Masquerade Ball, held at the Paramount Club at the top of London’s Centrepoint.
In keeping with the theme, visitors were given silver sequined and red feather masks to party in and photographers were on hand to snap our pictures on velvet chaise lounges. And Celebrity Big Brother star Lucien Laviscount and Simon Cowell's ex Terri Seymour popped in to join the fun and sample some cocktails.
Party-goers were also treated to a storming greatest hits set from Paloma Faith. She prowled the stage in her usual statement style – a bold black and white outfit topped with a canary yellow bow and ostrich feather hat.
The multi-talented singer even designed a Tia Mari chilli chocolate cocktail for us to sip as she sang. Make one yourself with the recipe below – a perfect winter warmer as the nights get colder…
