THE BECKHAM family know how to throw a party – and they're pulling out all the stops for David's 50th birthday bash.

Hiring out Core Restaurant in Kensington for the evening, the family – fresh from a trip to Bordeaux – are being joined by a string of A-listers in London for what's sure to be the party of the season.

Making sure the event is lavish and on-theme, the entire party was a black-and-white ball.

David was seen leading the party in a white suit jacket and black tie, while wife Victoria wore a slinky silk white dress.

Shortly afterwards, they were joined at the event by Guy Ritchie and his wife Jacqui Ainsley, with Jacqui joining in with the lads with a chic white suit alongside her husband.

While most guests arrived in black and white, Eva Longoria bucked a trend by arriving alongside husband José Baston in a striking blue gown, waving to photographers before heading inside.

Tom Cruise also swerved photographers altogether, being driven round the back of the venue and being hidden by an umbrella.

Before the event kicked off, florists were seen delivering pink and white peonies and green foliage into the venue for a floral display, while staff at the restaurant cleared the ground outside of any and all litter to it was picture perfect.

Core's owner, Clare Smyth arrived at 5pm in her red Ferrari, ready to create a menu fit for Hollywood and to get started on the menu.

Guests were being treated to Bavarian vegan lager, Noam Beer, as well as signature cocktails for the evening.

Cruz, David and Victoria's youngest son, was one of the first to arrive at the venue alongside girlfriend Jackie Apostel, keeping a low profile as they pulled up in a car.

Both were wearing tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts, with 29-year-old Jackie having her hair pinned back in preparation for the evening, hiding her face behind a birthday card.

The duo prepared a special performance for the guests – a rendition of Islands In The Stream, David and Victoria Beckham's favourite song.

Gary Neville was one of the first stars to arrive, looking dapper in a three-piece suit including a white bowtie and suit jacket.

Gordon Ramsay arrived shortly after in a white suit jacket with wife Tana, followed by David's best mate Dave Gardner with his partner, Victoria's Secret model Jessica Clarke.

Prior to the event, David's mum paid an adorable tribute to her son online – posting a video of the iconic footballer when he was still a blonde-haired toddler learning to crawl.

She wrote alongside the video: "My world… [David Beckham] love you lots xx."

The celebrations have been going on across the entire weekend, starting in their Cotswolds home with an intimate family bash.

They then headed to France on Friday, spending the afternoon at a vineyard in Bordeaux

They were later seen emerging from their posh hotel, after splashing the cash at one of their favourite hotel's in the city, La Réserve.

The family were spotted heading out for a special dinner, with David holding what appeared to be a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961.

Despite the ex-England footballer being surrounded by most of his immediate family, Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were nowhere to be seen – which has continued to fuel speculation of a feud.

Earlier today, The Sun shared how Brooklyn had opted to forego a swanky party in London to celebrate his father – leaving the family "devastated".
