Jourdan Dunn sizzles in a backless gold mini dress as she attends the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party
Jourdan Dunn made sure to turn heads as she attended the glitzy Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London on Tuesday. The British supermodel, 34, set pulses racing as she flaunted her jaw-dropping figure for the bash in a gold bejewelled halter neck mini dress. She teamed the sizzling ensemble with a pair of black strappy heels and kept accessories to a minimum with matching gold earrings. Throughout the night, Jourdan posed up a storm for the cameras and also joined in for photos with fashion designers Harris Reed and Peter Dundas. After celebrating the night away, the model was seen beaming as she left the star-studded event. It comes after Jourdan topped the star-studded guest list celebrating with Stormzy the first anniversary of his House Party nightclub in London's Soho earlier this month. The star put on a jaw-dropping display in a sexy western inspired ensemble. Jourdan wore a strapless fringed top and tight suede trousers as she showcased her incredibly toned abs while dancing the night away having attended Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour at Tottenham Hotspur stadium earlier in the night. The stunner completed the look with a cowboy hat and boots along with a statement necklace and flawless make-up. Meanwhile rapper Stormzy, 31, who looked stylish in all black, was in great spirits and blew out candles on a huge cake before performing for his guests. The club resembles a typical at home rager with beer pong, red cups, table football and even a tattooist in the bathroom. American star Nelly, straight from his show at the O2, also took to the mic to close the night as he clambered up onto the kitchen island to belt out his hit Hot In Herre. House Party is seven-storey townhouse concept on Poland Street, created by Stormzy and Cream Group, with other VIPs attendees included Love Island's Samie Elishi and DJ Mary Charteris. Fresh off the back of shows from homegrown artists Mike Skinner and Katy B last month, Stormzy's guests were served ice-cold 1664 Bière, hot NY pizza. The rapper said: 'We just wanted to throw parties like we used to. Real ones. Real fun. Mad how many people felt the same. Year one was about getting it right in Soho'. 'But the messages we get "when you coming to my city?" from LA to Dubai to wherever... we see them all. Let's just say we're not trying to keep this energy in one postcode forever.' This unforgettable night was one of House Party's best yet, in partnership with premium French beer brand 1664 Bière, who is the exclusive beer sponsor throughout June - elevating every celebration with their signature make it suprême flair. The two previously partnered together for an exclusive performance with iconic rapper Mike Skinner last month. Elsewhere, Jourdan gave Harper's Bazaar an insight into her plans for the future including her ambitions to build an empire. She said: 'I want to be the UK's Black Martha Stewart. That's the next step to building an empire and creating generational wealth, and having the Dunn name live on past me.' 'Riley (Dunn's son) and I are fanatics about hot sauce, we're always on a search to find the spiciest, so from condiments and seasonings to cutlery and potware – that's my next plan.' 'I've got my moodboard together, now it's about talking to people who can make it happen,' she added. Jourdan also touched on how she would love to create a space for people to enjoy 'amazing food' and a 'great vibe'. She revealed: 'I do like the idea of a Caribbean/ British (gastropub) combination, I'd love to create that space for other people to come in and enjoy amazing food and a great vibe, that's the end goal.' 'If you have a desire, why not make it happen? I'm just going to go for it. And I want to be a good example to Riley not to limit himself.' The supermodel also discussed how she has had a 'love-hate relationship' with her modelling career as she felt like it took away the fun of her adolescence. When discussing her teen self-esteem issues, Jourdan added: 'I looked at it as something that had taken me away from enjoying my teens, even though no one forced me to do it. 'I guess I didn't feel confident in myself. I had low self-esteem about my body – I was tall and lanky. 'Things happened quite quickly for me, but I wasn't really able to enjoy my success.' She also shared what she learned from her life coach and discussed how they helped her to realise what her 'purpose' and 'passions' were. She said: 'It helped me to realise what my purpose is and what my passions are. I love beauty, I love art and that's what the fashion industry does.' 'I never used to believe I was creative, but my life coach said, 'You're creating all the time!' So I'm starting to feel the love for fashion again.'

Jourdan Dunn donates blood and calls for more black heritage donors
Jourdan Dunn donates blood and calls for more black heritage donors Dunn, known for appearing on the catwalks of London, Paris and New York, attended the capital's newest blood donation centre in Brixton, south London, to mark World Sickle Cell Day. Jourdan Dunn (Image: Charlotte Tilbury ) Model Jourdan Dunn has highlighted the need for more black heritage donors to come forward to give blood – as she provided a blood donation herself. Dunn, known for appearing on the catwalks of London, Paris and New York, attended the capital's newest blood donation centre in Brixton, south London, to mark World Sickle Cell Day. Dunn's teenage son Riley is one of the country's 13,000 sickle cell patients who rely on blood transfusions from black heritage donors so they can live with the condition. Sickle cell is the country's fastest-growing inherited blood disorder that disproportionately affects black African and black Caribbean communities, according to the NHS. Around 250 babies are born with the condition in the UK each year. The service currently needs to recruit 16,000 new black heritage blood donors this year to meet the growing need. Article continues below Regular blood transfusions form the first line of defence against the condition, with patients responding best to donations containing the Ro blood type, which is significantly more prevalent in donors of black heritage. More than half (56%) of donors of black heritage are likely to have the Ro blood type, compared with just 2.4% of other ethnicities. Dunn, 34, said: "As a mother who has seen her child battle sickle cell, I am committed to doing all I can to help him, and the thousands of other people with the condition, have the best chance to live a full and healthy life. "That's why I've come to Brixton to give blood and ask the black community to register to do the same. "By giving an hour of your time three to four times a year, you can save up to 12 lives – that's an amazing power you have in your hands. "I'm incredibly thankful to the record numbers of black donors who have given blood in Brixton and across the country, but as numbers of sickle cell patients increase, so too does the need for more donors to come forward. NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) director of donor experience Mark Chambers said: "We've seen a great response to our calls for more black heritage donors to sign up to become blood donors, but the need for more to register and become regular blood donors is growing. "Blood transfusions to pre-empt sickle cell crises are helping more people live well with the condition, but on average we need 250 donations a year to help them, that's why it's vitally important we recruit more black heritage donors. "Jourdan's support, both as an NHS ambassador and a donor, will hopefully encourage others to follow her lead and spare an hour of their time to make a lifesaving difference." Sickle cell patient Calvin Campbell said: "I owe my life to the generosity of black heritage donors. "Every four weeks I need to have 10 to 12 units of blood transfused into my body to allow me to be relatively healthy. "Without those blood donations I would have died years ago and not have the life I have now. Article continues below "I wouldn't have had children, grandchildren, and the ability to work." Those wanting to donate blood can register via the NHSBT app, visit or call 0300 123 23 23.
