Kate Moss beamed with pride as she watched her daughter Lila take to the runway during the Richard Quinn show and cocktail party in the midst of London Fashion Week.

The model, 46, looked effortlessly chic in a blue velvet blazer and flared jeans as she made her way into The Londoner Hotel to support her daughter, 18.

Kate, who over the weekend was reported to be returning to her partying ways, showcased her ageless complexion in the simple look as she took her place in the front row of the fashion show.

Kate opted for a casual ensemble as she made her way into the fashion show, dressing in a crisp pale blue shirt and royal-shaded velvet blazer.

The fashion icon teamed the look with simple flared jeans and brown boots, with her essentials in a simple silver clutch bag.

Despite claims that she’s embraced her return to partying, Kate showcased her ageless visage as she posed with Edward, and her model protegé Jordan Barrett on the front row of the show. 

Kate was every inch the proud mother as she arrived to watch her daughter Lila storm the catwalk, with the brunette beauty dressed in a strapless red frilled jumpsuit.

Displaying a bold new look for the show, Lila sported bleached eyebrows as she made her way along the runway while Kate watched on.

Lila is the daughter of both Kate and Dazed founder Jefferson Hack, who dated from 2001 to 2004 and have maintained an amicable relationship and would ensure their daughter spent a regular amount of time with each of them in her childhood.  

Back in 2016, Jefferson admitted that despite Lila having two famous parents, she found them both to be ‘deeply uncool’.

Speaking to the Sunday Times Magazine, he explained his daughter keeps himself and her model mother rooted in the ‘real’ world.

Despite her mother’s status as a bonafide British icon, thanks to her status in the fashion industry, and Jefferson’s own achingly cool CV, Lila – wouldn’t label her parents as cool.

‘She thinks me and her mum are deeply uncool,’ he explained. ‘I don’t think her music tastes are cool — Capital radio and Justin Bieber. She keeps me real.’

While Lila still has a good relationship with both parents, she is often seen out with mum Kate.

Kate made her runway debut at the same age as her daughter in 1992, after being scouted as a 14-year-old in 1988 at JFK Airport in New York.

She first walked for Dolce & Gabbana in their spring show, in a blue brocade suit teamed with a matching wide-brimmed hat.

Kate became a stalwart on the runway during the nineties and regularly appeared for big name designers including Prada, Tommy Hilfiger and Stella McCartney.

It was reported by the Mail On Sunday that fashionistas are suggesting that Moss senior is masterminding her daughter’s style and her fledgling career.

Industry sources reported that Kate’s priorities have shifted from her own career to launching her only daughter onto the fashion scene.

Lila is the principal client at the Kate Moss Agency, which also boasts singer Rita Ora and Game Of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie.

Lila has ditched her publishing executive father Jefferson Hack’s surname and is now known simply as Lila Moss.

Kate’s work as a momager appears to be paying off, as last month Lila was unveiled as the face of the new Perfect perfume by Marc Jacobs.

In a campaign for the fragrance Lila paid tribute to her mother for introducing her to the world of fashion and beauty.

She said: ‘I remember when I was two, my mum and I were staying in New York. She was getting ready to go out and I saw this super sparkly, deep black eye shadow on her dressing table.

‘I made one of her friends apply it on me and spent the rest of the evening tottering around the room in a pair of my mum’s high heels.’

The teen has been working with Marc Jacobs since 2018 when she became the face of the brand’s beauty range. 

Also in attendance was hitmaker Mabel, who made a bold statement in an extravagant floral gown with a dramatic double train and a perilous thigh-high split.

The Don’t Call Me Up hitmaker was hard to miss in the plunging dress which accentuated her ample bust, which she teamed with matching pointed-toe heels.

Sweeping her hair into a high bun, Mabel posed up a storm in her jaw-dropping gown as she headed into the hotel for the fashion event.

Elsewhere, Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, 41, was a vision in an intricate pale pink dress with eye-catching embroidery and a beautifully sequinned trim that appeared to be inspired by the 1920s.

The actress, pulled her brunette tresses into a sleek ponytail and accessorised her look with nude strapped heels.

Olympics star Dina Asher-Smith proudly showcased her athletic physique as she posed in a thigh-skimming white beaded blazer dress covered with pink roses and silver detailing. 

On Sunday sources told The Mail On Sunday that after a holiday in Ibiza last month, Kate ‘is back’ and has ‘a new lease of life,’ three years after halting her partying antics following the death of her friend Annabelle Neilson, from a heart attack at the age of just 49. 

‘Mossy is back and everyone is talking about it,’ said a source. The pal said that with lockdown over, Kate has been out with make-up queen Charlotte Tilbury, designer Stella McCartney and model Jordan Barrett over the summer.

‘In Ibiza it was all anyone was talking about,’ said the source. ‘And a few famous people who know her mentioned it at a Chiltern Firehouse lunch last week.

‘She has been seen occasionally acting quite wild. She still knows how to gyrate on dance floors when she feels like it, just like the old days.’

In July, Kate attended the launch of the autobiography of her close friend DJ Fat Tony, who has been sober for 14 years. At the party he said: ‘Kate’s been clean for over two years. Me and my sober mates now have a better time than we ever did when we used to drink and take drugs.’

Kate has also given interviews saying she likes to ‘hit the sack at 11pm-ish and watch Netflix’, adding that she was trying to cut down on cigarettes and instead dealt with stress by doing yoga, which helped her ‘concentrate on the here and now’.

Yet around a month after she attended the launch of the so-called ‘quit-lit’ book championing sobriety, Kate attended Jordan’s wedding to fellow model Fernando Casablancas at a raucous venue in Ibiza as a ring-bearer… and apparently decided to let her hair down.

Pictures from the island showed her dancing with a topless Jordan at a wild party, crashing out on the floor next to him, and semi-naked as she applied make-up in the bathroom, while he looked on.

Other photos from a reportedly rowdy lunch on the same holiday showed Kate looking tired and dishevelled as she dangled over a balcony to puff on a cigarette.

There were no signs of her boyfriend Nikolai von Bismarck during the trip, and one friend believes they hit a rough patch in their six-year relationship at around that time – although there is no suggestion they have split up.
