Jodie Kidd ditches the designer dresses in favour of vintage glamour at themed Goodwood Revival

Jodie Kidd and Rowan Atkinson joined a host of celebrities in West Sussex on Friday as the Goodwood Revival kicked off.

The pair were on hand as car enthusiasts gathered at the historic race meeting, the only sporting event of its kind held entirely in a historic theme.

With fashion from the 40s, 50s and 60s the order of the day, Jodie, 43, turned heads in a vintage floral dress and strappy heels as she walked in.

She added to the look with a striking ridged bouffant that was in keeping with the historic theme of the event, while heavily applied lipstick completed the look.

Blackadder and Mr. Bean star Rowan, 67, joined the model and appeared to be making the most of the two-day event, which ends on Sunday, after getting behind the wheel of a car.

Other celebrity guests who attended Goodwood included DJ and host Chris Evans, a self-proclaimed automotive obsession and regular contributor to the annual racing extravaganza.
