It’s no big deal. We need to calm down about it,” she said. She pointed out that a younger woman, who also attended the event, the 33rd birthday party of Ben Caring, at Annabel’s nightclub, without her underwear. “Another girl did it, in her twenties, so, what the hell?” she said. The former model, who now runs an organic beauty products firm, said that she was unaware of the effect that the light would have on her outfit. “I didn’t know you could see through that,” she said. “I had no idea until I saw the photos. I went, ‘How did that happen?’ My sons were probably more embarrassed than me,” she added. ANI
