Idris Elba gets adorned with female attention at cocktail launch party


The ladies can't get enough of Idris: Mr Elba gets adorned with female attention at cocktail launch party


When trying to pinpoint what makes Idris Elba a favourite with the ladies, it's a fierce battle between his husky voice, his dashing looks and his charming personality.
Whatever it is, it was clearly working it's magic on Tuesday evening as Idris attended the launch of the Tanqueray Gin Palace in London.
The 40-year-old actor found himself surrounded by women at the pop-up event in Covent Garden as he made his rounds about the bar.

Cutting his usual dapper figure, Idris wore an ash black suit with a white shirt and skinny tie as arrived at the venue.
On hand to greet guests as he saluted the revival of gin drinking, Elba was photographed sandwiched in between Rosario Dawson and Olivia Grant.
Having a great time at the bash, which saw The Wire star jump behind the bar for an impromptu cocktail lesson, pals Idris and Dawson were seen in fits of hysterics as they exchanged banter.
