Ellie Goulding joins star-studded homeless charity concert

Ellie Goulding was in the festive giving mood on Monday night, as she hosted her annual star-studded benefit concert for homeless charity Streets of London.

The 30-year-old Burn songstress was the star of Ellie Goulding And Friends, rocking a casual look as she took to the stage in London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Ellie, who is a long-standing supporter of the charity, rocked a black and charcoal-printed blouse as she arrived for the concert in the capital.

The Anything Can Happen singer rocked the black blouse with grey art deco-style detailing as she posed before taking to the stage.

While the star originally teamed her look with black jeans and matching high heels, the star appeared to go for comfort during her performance as she changed into comfortable creeper-style boots, along with a different monochrome blouse and black trousers.

Ahead of her performance Ellie tweeted her fans: ‘It’s a beautiful thing when you can combine the best artists and an incredible cause… shout out to those musicians, artists and crew who are here raising money for @StreetsofL tonight and of course to YOU! See you soon x’

Ellie took to the stage along with a slew of other stars in honour of the charitable cause, including MOBO award-winner Craig David.

Ellie has been a long-standing supporter of the charity, and appeared delighted to be hosting the concert to raise awareness of homelessness in London.

Ahead of the event, she said: ‘Homelessness in London remains as much of a problem as ever. The number of people sleeping rough here has doubled in the last six years and increased by 170% in the last decade. 

‘It’s as important as ever that these people are able to access the right support, so they can escape the damaging effects of life on the streets.’
