Colourful: Visitors looking at the elephants on display last weekWhen Elizabeth Hurley is invited to an event, you can usually assume she'll be one of the best dressed on the guest list.
Attending the Elephant Parade auction at the Royal Hospital Gardens in London tonight, the 45-year-old model put on another stunning red carpet performance in a hot pink dress.
Instead of her trademark slashed-to-the-thigh gown, the Austin Powers star was wear a cowl-neck fuchsia floor-length dress and silver high-heeled sandals.

Style guru Woodall, 46, also adopted a similar dress code to her friend by teaming a pink and purple vintage-style silk gown with a pair of silver shoes.
While the charity event attracted many Chelsea locals like Hurley and Woodall, also in attendance was Hollywood veteran Goldie Hawn, socialite Tamara Beckwith, model Lisa B and young royals Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Having flown in from the United States specially to host the fundraiser, Goldie, 64, rolled back the years in a floral tiered gown.

The charity was founded by Mark Shand - the younger brother of Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall.
Over the past few weeks, over 250 elephant sculptures - each decorated differently by a host of famous names including Diane Von Furstenberg, Paul Smith and John Rocha - have been placed all over London at tourist spots such as outside St Paul's Cathedral or Trafalgar Square.

Speaking about the campaign, Hawn said: 'Anyone who loves elephants, and I do, will love Elephant Parade. It is not only the most beautiful, colourful and fun campaign, it also holds the key to saving the majestic species from extinction.'
Notably absent from the event was Hawn's fellow patron Sarah Ferguson, who is keeping a low-profile since she was caught on camera allegedly asking for money to be introduced to her ex-husband Prince Andrew.

Clearly feeling more confident with her figure as her recent weight loss, Princess Beatrice, 21, opted for a flirty yellow mini-dress.
Her younger sister Eugenie, 20, was equally summery in a simple white T-shirt dress.
Arriving at the Royal Hospital, the glamorous guests were presented with Indian flower garlands before being invited to stroll through the rows of colourful elephant sculptures.
