Ladies Kitty and Amelia steal NY show

TOP models were forced to battle it out with British aristocrats for a place in the spotlight at Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda fashion show in New York.

Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, far right, sported a cream gown featuring a voluminous skirt and a daring translucent bodice. Kitty, 27, likened it to a Sicilian cassata cake, but others said she looked more like one of those dolls used to cover loo rolls.

Also at the show was Lady Amelia Windsor, right, Princess Alexandra’s 22year-old granddaughter. She wore a strapless white dress with a gold pattern, gold heels and a silver head band.

The following day, Lady Kitty was less glamorous when she was caught in the rain arriving at her hotel in a camouflage jacket, black leggings and £765 fur-lined Gucci loafers, top right.

GAVIN & Stacey star Ruth Jones, who lost four stone a few years ago, had an awkward encounter while waiting to see the gynaecologist.

‘A woman came up to me and said: “You know who you look like? That actress Ruth Jones.” I replied, “Yeah, I get that all the time.”

‘She went: “I didn’t mean to be rude. I don’t mean Ruth Jones when she was really fat.” The next thing, the receptionist came out and announced: “Ruth? The doctor’s ready for you now.”

‘I couldn’t look at the woman — she must have been mortified.’
