Celebrities enjoyed the chance to play graffiti artists last night at the premiere of the new film by 'urban guerrilla' Banksy.
Daisy Lowe was at the head of the queue, grabbing a spray pain can and getting straight to work on a wall set aside for the artwork.
The 21-year-old attended the premiere in a floor-length white nightgown style dress, teamed with work boots and a fake fur jacket.

Daisy's ex-boyfriend, DJ Mark Ronson, was also on the guest list, although the two weren't photographed together.
They were joined by actress Jaime Winstone, who wore an equally bizarre ensemble.
The 24-year-old, who happily spray painted her name on the wall, wore a green skin tight jumpsuit, teamed with a blazer and Vivienne Westwood bag.
Actress Thandie Newton and Radio presenter Edith Bowman were also among the guests.

The celebrities walked past a Banksy artwork saying Rich Idiots as they arrived, typical of the artist's irreverrant sense of humour.
His 85 minute film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, is billed as 'the world's first street art disaster movie'.
There was speculation that Banksy would finally reveal himself in the film as it is said to feature exclusive footage of him at work along with many of the world's most famous graffiti artists.

But a trailer showed several people with their faces pixilated, while the subject of the film also suggests he will continue to hide his Banksy facade.
It tells the story of an eccentric shop-keeper-turned-documentary-maker who attempts to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on him.
'It's the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable,' Banksy said in a statement. 'And failed.'
Guests: Actress Thandie Newton and Radio presenter Edith Bowman
The mystery of the street artist has always been a jealously guarded secret. It is largely believed he is attempting to avoid prosecution but he has been photographed in the past wearing a mask or hood.
A trailer of the film, made by 'Paranoid Pictures' features touches such as words flashed up on the screen which appear to show the film has been awarded four stars - before revealing it is a starred out swear word in the sentence 'Sounds like a load of ****'.
Last year, Banksy installed 100 of his artworks in Bristol's council-owned museum under the noses of top officials, and once smuggled a life-size statue of a Guantanamo Bay detainee into Disneyland.

He also replaced copies of Paris Hilton's CD in music stores with his own cover art that made her appear topless and remixes by Danger Mouse with song titles such as 'Why Am I Famous?'
His political messages and often amusing stencils have featured from the walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank, from a sexual health clinic in Bristol to Brick Lane in London.
