Familiar faces on the guest list included Sienna Miller, Poppy Delevingne, Charlotte Tilbury, Princess Olympia of Greece, and many more.
 

According to The Telegraph, the Gothic Revival-style family mansion was transformed into an eccentric wonderland with inflatable mushrooms for the festival-themed part of the party, while banquet tables were filled with indulgent dishes from lobster to oysters when it came to feast time.

For her black-tie attire, Bute opted for a custom silver minidress from Annie Doble behind Annie’s Ibiza – who was also at the event – using a 1920s fabric from Egypt, writes the source.

While Bute’s life may seem every bit as lavish as it is, she has suffered many tragedies in her lifetime too. According to The Telegraph, she lost her boyfriend Kai Schachter to suicide in 2019. Just a few months later, her best friend IIa Scheckter, the daughter of former F1 champion Jody Scheckter, died after a suspected accidental overdose.

In March 2021, Bute lost her father to cancer. “I literally didn’t think it was going to happen until it happened”, she told The Telegraph. “He was so strong. He was like our rock. He’d never even had a cold.”

“I miss you with every fibre in my being. I love you with every inch of my heart and soul,” she wrote in a tribute post to her father on Instagram one year after his death. She was reportedly sober at her party.

In 2020, Bute founded Eternity Movement, a fundraising platform to raise awareness on mental health, suicide and addiction.

 

“Lockdown is having a profound effect on all of us, particularly those with mental health issues and these are the people Eternity strive to protect,” she said in a statement on Action on Addiction. “The charities we support need our help more than ever before to address a parallel epidemic of suicide, addiction and depression which will outlast the viral pandemic. In 2020 Eternity raised over £500,000 (US$626,130) for these three charities, and this is only the beginning.”

On addiction, she said, per Action on Addiction, “there’s such a misconception around addiction – these are all just outlets for an emptiness within, they’re not the core of the problem. My goal is to try and help people understand that in a broader way.”
