Jagger's girl is in the pink as she sets out to have a real ball

MODEL Luciana Morad gave the annual Pink Ribbon Ball's bid to raise money for breast cancer a huge lift last night.

She stole the show from the moment she arrived in a pink limousine at London's Dorchester Hotel.

Dressed in a low-cut pink dress, the 29-year-old mother of Mick Jagger's baby son Lucas grabbed a bunch of pink balloons as soon as she got to the party.

London mayor candidate Jeffrey Archer made a beeline for the six- foot Brazilian to show her the little hammer he used for the ball's celebrity auction.

But unimpressed Luciana dashed off for a glass of red wine.

Luciana, who left six-month-old Lucas with his nanny, mingled with celebrities Emma and James Major, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and boxer Chris Eubank.

But many eyes were on BBC's head of drama Mal Young, 42, and former GMTV presenter Esther McVey who were stepping out publicly for only the second time.

Meanwhile, William Hill cut Ken Livingstone's odds of becoming mayor from 7-2 to 5-2. It just wasn't Lord Archer's night.
