The former Sarah Ferguson has endured a long struggle with weight gain.
But it is a battle she is clearly winning at the moment. In a figure-hugging racing green satin gown, Fergie, 56, was belle of the ball as celebrities turned out in force to support the Lady Garden Gala, a fund raiser for gynaecology charities.
She posed happily with socialites Chloe Delevingne – older sister of supermodel Cara – actress Mika Simmons, socialite Tamara Beckwith, PR executive Jenny Halpern Prince, and broadcaster Tania Bryer at London hotel Claridge’s.
Fergie, who is dating 47-year-old Manuel Fernandez, has spoken at length in the past about her constant battle to control her weight.

“You have to learn to control the darkness in your mind,” she said in one interview.
