Clara’s new carnival barnet

JERK chicken and cans of Red Stripe galore yesterday, as Converse marked Notting Hill Carnival with a colourful party at Ladbroke Grove’s Dock Kitchen. Guests included chef Tess Ward and model Sarah Macklin, inset above, while Radio 1 presenter Clara Amfo, above, embraced the good weather in hotpants and a new hairstyle to join an all-female line up of DJs including Moxie and Amy Becker.

But Amfo’s afro led to an unusual chat-up line: she tweeted that a fellow carnival-goer had beckoned her over with, “Eh, Macy Grey, lemme chat to you for a minute.”
