'Pimp' Film Premiere

19 May 2010

Even before the event she had already made headlines when sections of the press announced that local authorities and police had "banned" her from arriving at the event "on a unicorn"! Heatworld even mocked up a picture of Aisleyne with said mythical beast. Now we DO know that there are pictures elsewhere on this website of Aisleyne on horseback at a ranch in Texas, and on a camel in Morocco, so why not a unicorn in Covent Garden?

In keeping with the film's gritty theme - the seedy underside of Soho life - the dress code suggested was "pimps and hoes", which VIP guests were invited to interpret as they felt inspired. Now as we know, Aisleyne has tended towards a more demure look in recent times. On this occasion we might say that she met the dress-code half-way by wearing a striking - and VERY short - gold dress (from Arrogant Cat), a pair of Lipsy shoes and a pony-tail hairstyle.

Anyway, Aisleyne had to arrive without unicorn but as she set foot on the red carpet in front of the Odeon she was suddenly grabbed from behind by a hooded figure. Fortunately the two attendants maintaining the guest list were nearby. They reacted quickly and pulled the attacker off Aisleyne and she fled into the Cinema, shaken but thankfully unhurt. Happily, she'd recovered enough to go on a planned short trip to Cannes the next day.

Other celebs attending, who escaped the attentions of any hoodies, included Ash's pal Imogen Thomas, Sophie Reade and (dressed as a bunny-girl) Bianca Gascoigne.

One thing's for sure, you never can tell what might happen when Aisleyne has a night out..
