London, Feb 26 (ANI): Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Stella McCartney were among those who paid their final respects to fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
The supermodels were joined by his family for the service that took place at St Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge, west London.
Moss struggled to hold back tears as they paid their respects.
Mourners pulled out all the stops to remember the outlandish clothes guru with a suitably fashionable funeral.
Kate wore five-inch Christian Louboutin stilettos, a simple black dress and stole, while Naomi, 39, remembered her pal with a fitted jacket and quirky hat.
Socialite Daphne Guinness, 42, went even further in a billowing black cape, full lace veil and towering heel-less shoes.
McQueen’s father, Ronald, and his five siblings were also among the mourners at the late fashion designer’s private funeral.
“The mourners went all out to pay tribute to Lee, who was totally fashion-mad. I’ve never seen such an amazing selection of clothes. It looked more like a catwalk than a church,” the Daily Star quoted an onlooker as saying.
“The effort they all made showed just how much he meant to everyone in the fashion world,” the onlooker added. (ANI)
