Alexandra Burke and Amber Le Bon were among the famous faces at the unveiling of the annual Annabel’s festive façade on Tuesday evening in London’s Mayfair.
The singer, 37, who performed at the event with the Capital Children’s Choir, sang as thousands of lights were switched on, illuminating the incredible display.
This year the private member’s club’s theme was The Wardrobe: A World of Wonder, in support of The Caring Family Foundation’s Food From the Heart campaign.
The celebrations continued inside Annabel’s with VIP guests hosted by Richard and Patricia Caring including Arizona Muse, Rahi Chadda, Eva Apio, Freddy Carter, Lydia West, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Chey Maya and Amber Le Bon.
This year’s installation transforms the iconic entrance on Berkeley Square into an ornate wardrobe, with doors opening to reveal a winter realm of snow-dusted trees and shimmering icicles.
At its centre stands a lion, a powerful yet delicate guardian that speaks to both the fragility of the world and the strength it takes to protect it.

Designed by Tatiana Kharchylava, Creative Director of The Birley Clubs, it celebrates light in the darkness, inspired by the belief that children are the light of the world.
The Wardrobe invites onlookers into the magic of childhood – a reminder that the smallest hearts hold the greatest power.
Tatiana said: ‘For this year’s façade, I wanted to capture the feeling of stepping into a childhood memory – a moment when the world felt full of possibility and light.
‘The wardrobe felt like the right symbol, opening onto a simple scene of winter and imagination.
‘The lion represents both courage and strength, but also with its porcelain appearance, fragility.
‘My hope is that the façade offers a quiet moment to pause, reflect and reconnect with the magic of hope that we all knew when we were young.’

Annabel’s charity partner is The Caring Family Foundation and over the festive period the club will host a number of fundraising initiatives to support the charity’s continued mission to combat child hunger and food insecurity in the UK and Brazil.
Since launching Food From The Heart in 2020, TCFF has provided over 3.5 million meals to families and children in need.
This past year alone, the Foundation delivered 1,027,465 meals, a testament to its ongoing mission to alleviate child hunger and food insecurity.
