Kate Moss and pals arrive at the Isle Of Wight Festival for the world's coolest hen do

Kate Moss last night arrived at the Isle Of Wight Festival for what will be arguably the coolest hen do ever.

The 37-year-old model, who is engaged to Jamie Hince, the frontman of The Kills, donned skintight leather trousers as she arrived at the annual music event with friends including Jade Jagger and Samantha Morton.

Sadie Frost and Meg Matthew were also believed to be at the festival for Kate's hen do.

After making her grand entrance, Kate and her pals headed backstage on the back of a golf buggy to catch the best of the night's musical entertainment.

Festival promoted John Giddings revealed earlier in the day that Kate was having a hen do themed around Channel 4 show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.

He told Absolute Radio, who are broadcasting from the event, broke the news but admitted it was meant to be a secret.

Describing the hen do, he said: 'The big fat gypsy wedding. Apparently that's the theme. Apparently she's going to be dressed up like that.'

But he then added: 'I might have made it up and you believed it.'

A total of 75,000 revellers are converging on the island for the 10th anniversary of the festival which reincarnated the legendary events of the late 1960s.

This year's headliners are Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian and newly-reformed Pulp.

One of the acts to take to the stage this evening included Alexandra Burke, who performed a selection of her tracks wearing a pair of tiny white hotpants, basque and fitted lace jacket.

Yesterday, Alexandra wrote on her Twitter page: 'Isle Of Wight Festival tomorrow. I AM SO SO EXCITED!!!!!'

She then tweeted a picture of herself backstage at the event wearing a pretty denim dress and high tan wedges.

Other acts include Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye, which he formed after splitting from Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Iggy and the Stooges and Eliza Doolittle.

Giddings said he chose a line-up with a more contemporary feel than previous years which have featured 'retro' headliners such as Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and The Who.

He said: 'We have had The Beatles (Paul McCartney) and the Stones and I came to the answer that for our 10th anniversary we should come into the 21st century and grow up.

'The Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon are the two biggest rock bands around at the moment and Kasabian have taken up the mantle from Oasis now that they've split up - these are the bands of the future.'

He said there were still other legendary acts he would like to appear but had been unable to book so far.

He said: 'I would love to get Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd; I ask Bob Dylan every year but he never replies.'

Despite his claim to have moved on to 'young' bands, his line-up includes Pulp, originally formed by Jarvis Cocker 33 years ago, and Foo Fighters, which are led by Dave Grohl, the drummer from early-90s grunge rockers Nirvana.

Geoff Lloyd, DJ for Absolute Radio said: '2011 is an extra special year for the Isle of Wight Festival and we'll all be there to celebrate its 10th birthday in style.'

Hampshire police will be targeting the sales of both illegal drugs and 'legal highs' at the event.

Inspector Terry Clawson said: 'Tens of thousands of people in one place gives us similar challenges to policing any busy town or community.

'We'll be using tried and tested tactics to help people stay safe while they have a good time in this festival neighbourhood over the next four days.'

He added: 'It's also important to remember sales of so-called 'legal highs' are banned at the festival. If reports of any sales are received, security stewards and the police will take action.'
