Nose doubt about it, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson looks brilliant in blue at the Royal wedding

Nose problem: Tara Palmer Tomkinson put her fears about the appearance of her drug-ravaged nose behind her as she put in a stunning appearance at the Royal Wedding


Rather than her outfit, Royal Wedding guest Tara Palmer-Tomkinson had been highly concerned about the appearance of her nose ahead of the event.

However, the socialite, 39, appeared groomed to perfection in a brilliant kingfisher blue off-the-shoulder gown, with flowing sleeves, and matching hat and bag.

Any fears about her ravaged nose appear to have been forgotten, as she waved confidently to the crowds surrounding Westminster Abbey, for Prince William and his bride Catherine Middleton's big day.

To prepare for the wedding, Tara told the Daily Mail in February: ‘If I can get my nose fixed for the wedding that would be ideal.

‘I’m not sure it’s going to be possible but hopefully something can be done in time.’

Years of cocaine abuse had taken its toll on Tara’s nose some time ago and in 2006 she paid £6,000 to have it rebuilt using cartilage from an ear.

But recently she admitted that the original surgery had worn out because of ‘general wear and tear’, leaving it looking squashed and bent.

So she headed back to a cosmetic surgeon to have fillers injected to give it a straighter, more natural shape.

Her fillers are said to have cost approximately £650 with a Harley Street specialist.


Preparations: Tara was out and about in London today ahead of the wedding, no doubt dealing with final preparations


And today Tara seems more than happy with the results as she made a stunning entrance to the highly anticipated event.

Yesterday the socialite was spotted leaving her house in a figure hugging tight white dress, which she accompanied with a Chanel handbag and grey heels.

And the close friend of Prince Charles showed off her newly highlighted hairdo.

Tara was joined at the event today by David and Victoria Beckham, Elton John, singer Joss Stone, Guy Ritchie and Rowan Atkinson.

Australian Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe, Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas and former England footballer Trevor Brooking will also attend.

Will Tara get her new nose in time for the Royal Wedding?

By Daily Mail Reporter


Flattened: Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's ravaged features last week


With less than three weeks to go before the big day, it looks as though Tara Palmer-Tomkinson will have her work cut out to achieve the wedding look she craves.

The 39-year-old socialite said in February that she hoped to have a new nose in time for the ceremony.

But pictures taken last week show the nose, ravaged by years of drug abuse, has yet to be reconstructed.


It looked hopelessly squashed, drawing unflattering comparisons to a boxer who had taken a beating in the ring.

The damage is a legacy of Miss Palmer-Tomkinson’s former £400-a-day cocaine habit.
It was so bad that in 2006 she had a £6,000 operation to rebuild the area between her nostrils.

Since then her nose has bent to the right and she is still hoping to make it straight before the ceremony on April 29 at Westminster Abbey.


She revealed the Daily Mail in February: ‘If I can get my nose fixed for the wedding that would be ideal. I’m not sure it’s going to be possible but hopefully something can be done in time.’

Friends have said that she has become so self-conscious about the problem that she has taken to wearing a hat and glasses when she goes out.

Miss Palmer-Tomkinson has said: ‘I’m so paranoid about it. All I can think about is I just can’t wait to have it done. It’s something I’ve always wanted to have done but it needs a recovery time.

‘My surgeon died so I still need to find someone to do it. It’s a straight nose but it’s just got a bump in it. I’m nearly 40 years old now and I want to get it right.

‘I am not saying I’m an oil painting but of course I want to have it fixed. I don’t want to be picked on. I read somewhere last week someone said they want to vomit when they saw it.’
