British Vogue and Pandora Threw a Glittering Celebration of Chioma Nnadi’s First Issue at London’s Ladbroke Hall

From Alexa to Zawe, all Londoners bright and beautiful descended on Ladbroke Hall tonight to celebrate the homecoming – and landmark debut issue – of British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi. Sponsored by Pandora and supported by Don Julio 1942 and VAARA, the Beaux Arts building’s portico and mezzanine hall were flooded with English garden flowers by Blooming Haus for the event, while FKA twigs’s avant-garde April 2024 cover was projected beneath the 120-year-old building’s arched Edwardian ceilings.

Providing the evening’s entertainment: the phenomenal Kokoroko, who performed their signature blend of Afrobeats and jazz, before Tic—a DJ and frequent twigs collaborator—closed out the evening on the turntables.

Guests indulged in a range of canapés—think prime beef tartare and “Ortolana” tartlets followed by dark chocolate macarons—along with Don Julio 1942-based Palomas and Tommy’s Margaritas and Gusbourne’s 2023 English Rosé and 2019 Blanc de Blancs. And as a final treat before guests headed home in a waiting fleet of BMWs, party favors were handed out in the form of Pandora necklaces adorned with the brand’s Padlock Key and Love Locket charms.
