New mother Paloma Faith leads the Royal Variety Performance glamour in glittering feathered dress … after topping the UK album chart for the first time

She took a musical hiatus after giving birth last year, confessing the first few months of motherhood had been ‘hell’.

But Paloma Faith looked happier than ever on Friday as she celebrated topping the album charts at the Royal Variety Performance in London.

The 36-year-old cut a glamorous appearance in a black sparkly dress with a feather trim as she made her way into the venue.
