In her stride: Madonna arrives at a private members' club in London for dinner and drinks with her friends last night


Even mega-busy superstars need their best friends for some fun, affection and a good old natter.

And Madonna proved to be no exception as she caught up with two of her closest girlfriends in London last night.

The singer stepped out for dinner and drinks with fashion designer friend Stella McCartney and actress buddy Gwyneth Paltrow.

They met at a private members' club in Chelsea for a spot of dinner before joining other guests at a private event at the venue.

Living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, the three girls see each other at fashion events of celebrity parties but we're guessing it's a rarity for them to sit down together and have a proper catch-up.rarely have

So leaving the children in the care of their nanny, Madonna, 51, headed out to meet up with Stella, 38, and Gwyneth, 37, who had left their partners - publisher Alasdhair Willis and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - at home with their little ones too.

Like many of us girls, Madonna knows the importance of a piece of eye candy to brighten up the evening, so brought Brazilian toyboy Jesus Luz, 23, along for the night too.

But he wasn't the only man sharing their table last night, with Italian fashion designer Valentino joining the group at their club.

All three ladies were wrapped up warm against the unseasonably cold spring weather but still managed to look super-chic and stylish.

Madonna looked much younger than her years in a short black leather jacket with long flowing wide silk black trousers with a white patterned stitching - although the peep-toed wedges may have been a mistake.

Gwyneth sported a biker chick look in high shoe boots, skinny leather trousers and short black jacket, while Stella kept it simple in a long grey cape, grey jumper and knee-high boots.

Valentino, sporting a very bright tan, wrapped himself up from the cold in a blue quilted jacket over his suit.

Madonna flew into London on Monday with her daughter Lordes, 13, and her adopted children David and Mercy, both four and nine-year-old son Rocco to celebrate the Jewish festival of Passover.

On Easter Monday the family will fly to Malawi so that adopted children Mercy and David can be reunited with their biological families.

Madonna is planning a lunch where the duo 'can proudly show off their dance skills and meet their relatives', according to a friend.
