The Duchess of York rocked the red carpet at last night's Butterfly Ball - donning a gorgeous embroidered black and gold gown.

On Thursday night, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, attended the annual Butterfly Ball at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.

The 59-year-old royal donned a beautiful embroidered black and gold satin gown, with sheer sleeves.

Around the bodice and along the arms, the dress had intricate gold detail.

The Duchess of York completed the glam look by wearing her famous red hair in a half-up, half-down do.

Taking to Instagram, Fergie said it was "such an honour to be @ccbutterflyball for @caudwellchildren".
