Tamara Ecclestone lands pole position at the F1 party in her daring split-to-the-thigh Balmain dress


The world of Formula 1 is renowned for its fast cars, lavish spending and stunning women.

And last night Tamara Ecclestone was the epitome of F1 glamour in a daring split-to-the-thigh gown.
The model and TV presenter, 27, was hosting the F1 party in aid of the Great Ormond Street Hospital in the historic surroundings of the Natural History Museum.

And she went for maximum impact in a revealing red and black Balmain bandeau gown which she teamed with a pair of peep-toe Christian Louboutin heels and an Alexander McQueen clutch bag.
The brunette beauty was joined at the lavish event by little sister Petra, 23, and their father, F1 tycoon Bernie, 80.
It was somewhat of a double date for Petra and Tamara, who brought their respective partners.

Ahead of the event, Tamara Tweeted: 'Going to get my hair done for the F1 party tonight so excited, am so excited. Have finally decided on a dress, will wear Balmain.'

The blonde is set to wed Stunt in Italy next month following a four year courtship.
The Mail On Sunday's Katie Nicholl told last weekend how Petra and Stunt will marry in Odescalchi Castle near Rome during the August bank holiday weekend.
The 15th century castle is the same venue where Tom Cruise wed Katie Holmes in 2006.

While the mother-of-two opted for full-length glamour in an asymmetrical animal-print gown, BBC presenter Cox, 36, opted for a flirty French Connection dress.
Cox arrived at the bash with her mother, but left early because she had to be awake early with her three children.
Entertainment at last night's event came from Alexandra Burke, DJ Annie Mac and magician Dynamo.
