Had supermodel Jodie Kidd run off with the 2,000-diamond studded Maria Grachvogel dress she posed in for London Fashion Week, it would not have been covered.
A spokeswoman for jewellers VanPeterson.com, which supplied the 2,000 gems for the black chiffon dress with a thigh-high slit, said its Lloyd's policy did not insure against “model infidelity” – for example the model taking the dress herself.
In any case, the gown was driven away by security men minutes after the fashion show finished.
The spokeswoman added that the dress, which has a reserve price of £250,000, is being auctioned to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund which helps orphans of Aids victims.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
