Lily Cole is a fan of Westwood jewellery

Lily Cole loves the "pagan ideas" in Dame Vivienne Westwood's new 'Get A Life' Palladium Jewellery Collection.

The model - sporting her newly dyed brown hair - appeared at the iconic designer's launch for the line at the Wallace Collection in London recently, where she marvelled at the pieces on display.

The naturally-inspired pieces of jewellery were shown displayed around 12 year old bonsai oak trees, while the main party space was themed on Shakespeare play 'A Midsummer's Nights Dream'.

Lily - who was wearing a pagan broach from the collection - said: "I'm really happy to be here for Vivienne Westwood's launch of her new couture jewellery line, the pieces are really beautiful and I love the ideology behind it.

"I love Vivienne's interest in the environment and in kind of natural forms and pagan ideas."

Describing the piece she was wearing she added: "It's an oak leaf with an acorn."

At the party a projection of an oak tree's seasonal life cycle was projected onto the walls.

Also at the event were singers Beth Ditto and BRIT Award winner Jessie J, with the latter giving a special acoustic performance and also wearing a headpiece from Vivienne's collection.

She said: "I think this event is beautiful, I feel like I'm not worthy of this beautiful piece of jewellery on my head!"
