The McCartney clan gather to celebrate Stella's birthday with an intimate dinner
She has one of the most famous families in the world, so it's no surprise that Stella McCartney might chose to hold a low-key dinner party on her birthday.
But why not add another incredibly famous musician onto the exclusive guest list?
Coldplay's Chris Martin was one of the chosen few guests that fashion designer 41-year-old Stella decided to invite to her intimate celebration at Cecconi restaurant last night (Thursday).
The dinner was held at the Mayfair Italian restaurant, where Stella was also joined by her husband Alasdhair Willis, brother James McCartney, father Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell.
Stella wore all-black to her birthday party, choosing to wear a simple jacket and a chic pleather skirt with high heels.
Perhaps styled by his famous wife, Alasdhair looked dapper in a white shirt and grey jumper combination with a fitted nude jacket.
Stella's musician brother James was spotted heading into the restaurant with a large Harrods bag which was likely to be a gift for his older sister.
Looking younger than his 70-years, Sir Paul McCartney looked cheerful as he arrived at the dinner with his wife Nancy.
He wore an unbuttoned white shirt with smart black trousers and a matching fitted jacket for the intimate bash.
Nancy chose to wear slim denim jeans and lengthened her small frame with black strapped high heels.
She also donned a sparkly top with an elegant scarf draped around her neck, and carried a large white handbag.
