Vanessa-Mae and Lionel attend the annual preview for VIP's of the summer exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts, held in London on June 4, 2008. The photos below show her walking the red carpet, posing solo and with her long-time life companion Lionel Catalan, with whom she has been living together now for some 8 years. For this occasion, Vanessa-Mae was in a simple and easy, yet elegant, outfit of a fine V-necked sleeveless shirt in grey with a slight undertone of green that consisted of a satin shoulder part and silk to cover her upper body, over a fine black pair of trousers, completed with open shoes that revealed red painted toe nails. Vanessa-Mae had her long black shinning hair tied on her back so that her face that was beautifully made up was fully exposed - see the photos below.
