After some watermelon, vodka, grapefruit and turmeric-infused welcome drinks – and the lighting of diyas – the meal kicked off with some traditional Sri Lankan starters, including jackfruit roti, idli and sambar.

Guests included content creators and influencers such as [Kavita Mehta](https://www.instagram.com/kavitacola/?hl=en), [Nikkita Chadha](https://www.instagram.com/nikkitachadha/?hl=en), [Maninder Sachdeva](https://www.instagram.com/manindersachdeva/?hl=en) and [Amika Dhir](https://www.instagram.com/ambikadhr/?hl=en), along with long-time friend of SL and founder of [Ruby Hammer Beauty](https://rubyhammer.com/), [Ruby Hammer MBE](https://www.instagram.com/rubyhammer/?hl=en), plus her daughter, founder of [Indu Beauty](https://indu.me/), [Reena Hammer.](https://www.instagram.com/reenahammer/?hl=en) We were also joined by *The Great British Bake Off* contestant [Crystelle Pereira](https://www.instagram.com/crystellepereira/?hl=en), [Fable &amp; Mane’s](https://intl.fableandmane.com/) [Namrat Klair](https://www.instagram.com/namratklair/?hl=en) and [Bicester Village’s](https://www.thebicestercollection.com/bicester-village/en) Sandeep Kular – along with many more.
