Latest: Imran Khan divorces Jemima

She looked happy when she arrived at the London nightclub Annabel's, dressed in, what can be termed as perhaps her most revealing dress since she converted to Islam. The shining bronze dress was above the knee with a plunging neckline.

Her mother, after whom the club is named, also joined in the party. The Saturday bash included guests like Hugh Grant who arrived with Princess Rosario of Bulgaria, supermodel Elle Macpherson and Laura Baily. Jemima's brother Ben Goldsmith came with his pregnant wife, banking heiress Kate Rothschild.

Camilla Parker Bowle's son Tom and X-Files actress Gillian Anderson were also there.

But it was not the star-studded party that was the cause of media interest. It was the absence of Imran Khan that raised eyebrows. Gossip about the state of their nine-year marriage has always been of great media interest. But Jemima and Imran, 51, are not on the verge of divorce, it has been clarified once again. Family members explained to guests that Imran was absent because he was unavoidably detained in Pakistan. A guest was told that Imran wanted to be there for the party but there was an "important political vote or something and he couldn't make it in time."

It was only a month or two ago that placed an advertisement in Pakistani newspapers denying her marriage was in trouble. She explained that she was studying in SOAS and would move back to Pakistan after completing her studies, and that it was not true that the two were having difficulties in their marriage.

The celebrations continued on Sunday at the Khan's £1.5 million house in Fulham. Jemima, reportedly appeared 'chirpy' but not in a mood to discuss her marriage. She told The Daily Mail: "I don't want to talk about it."
