Her Big Momen

The preview of Old Bryanstonian painter Emilia Momen’s exhibition at Ronchini in Mayfair turned out to be the gallery’s biggest opening on record, prompting the hire of extra security as 160 guests spilled down Conduit Street. Minna Hall arrived with her brother, Fan, joining a clutch of arty boys from Bristol and Edinburgh (one of them wearing a beret.) Lady Helen Taylor’s daughter Eloise and cool-girl Esme Bertelsen slipped in late, before the crowd decamped to Larry’s bar for an afterparty, where singer Celeste held court over prosecco.
