The annual ball took place at the Indigo at The O2 and raised almost £2 million to support autistic and disabled children.

This year’s event centered around the theme “We’re all different, be you” and was hosted by Love Island star Laura Whitmore.

The guest list included a host of TV stars who went down a storm as they dazzled on the red carpet.

Pregnant Laura Anderson, 35, also glowed on the red carpet in a multicolored sequined bandeau midi dress as she attended with her beau.

She paired her glamorous dress with a pair of gold strappy high heels.

Her make-up looked effortless as she went for a glowing glow look, with shimmery eye shadow and black eyeliner, complete with a glossy pale pink lip.

Laura’s platinum blonde hair is styled with a center parting in loose curls.

Pop singer, Anne-Marie also made an appearance on the red carpet, opting for a casual look with a printed oversized t-shirt and baggy black jeans.

Anne styled her hair in buns and went for a minimal make-up look with matte pale pink lipstick and black eyeliner and mascara.

John Caudwell, founder of Caudwell Children, said “I am incredibly proud of the work that Caudwell Children produces every year, which is why so much of my time and energy is devoted to supporting their work.

“This year, the Butterfly Ball celebrated all of our differences, helping us realize that we can affect positive change in the world by thinking and acting differently.”

Founded by philanthropist John in 2000, Caudwell Children has helped 78,500 children and their families and delivered over £91 million worth of services.

By personally paying for the charity’s annual administration and management costs, he enables the charity to offer complete transparency to its supporters, with 100 per cent of donations going directly to the children and families in need.
