The annual Serpentine Gallery Summer party saw A-list stars such as Bradley Cooper and Keira Knightley gracing the refined greenery in Kensington Gardens last night (July 1).

Stars sipped summer cocktails under a pavilion designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radic for the fundraising event, which saw a special guest performance from Pharrell Williams.

Here's an offering of the most stylish to the garishly nightmarish dressed stars of the evening:

A bright red-lipped Alexa Chung was typically chic in a strapless gothic-style black velvet dress with pointed strappy sandals and a summer straw basket-inspired handbag.

Keira Knightley looked effortlessly cool in a one-shoulder Chanel dress with multicoloured patterns and a full-length sheer white skirt, while her husband - Klaxons' James Righton - looked smart in a tuxedo.

Nancy Dell'Ollio wore an unflattering wide leg gold lamé jumpsuit (although perhaps a better choice than last time?) while a futuristic-looking (and robotic) Lady Victoria Hervey attended in a bizarre silver corseted gown with double slits up the sides.
