Angels delight Prince Charles

If anyone doubted the Seventies are back in fashion, the London premiere of Charlie's Angels last week should serve as irrefutable evidence.

Famous names such as Michael Caine, Kylie Minogue and Chris Evans turned out to celebrate the UK launch of the remake of the cult Seventies series which featured big hair, high kicks and glammed-up girl power. The Prince of Wales also attended the premiere in Leicester Square, held to benefit his charity, The Prince's Trust.

His told stars Lucy Liu, who wore a revealing backless gold number, and Drew Barrymore, in a black oriental-style smock, that they both looked "very smart". The third angel, Cameron Diaz, was not at the premiere.

Miss Barrymore was more loquacious about Charles, who entertained her and Miss Liu for dinner on Tuesday night. She said it was "a great honour he decided to come and see the film" and that he was a person who "made you feel very real".

After the film celebrities including Donatella Versace and Heather Graham attended a party at the nearby Red Cube bar. Guests were served sushi, roast turkey and champagne cocktails.

Charlie's Angels took $40 million (£28 million) in its first weekend in America.
