Chart hunk Robbie Williams will head a long list of top celebrities from the music and fashion worlds at a concert in aid of The Prince Of Wales' charity.

The singer will return to the Royal Albert Hall for the show, featuring with Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John, among others.

Liz Hurley will host the event, called Fashion Rocks, on October 15 when 18 of the world's leading fashion houses will work with leading celebrities.

The idea is to fuse catwalk and concert and Robbie will be strutting his stuff for the designers as well as performing.

He last appeared at the venue in October 2001 to premiere tracks from his Swing When You're Winning album and he said at the time it was a dream come true.

It is not yet clear whether Posh will be singing or simply modelling for the evening. She has previously posed on the catwalk for one of her favourite designers Maria Grachvogel.

Also taking part is Bryan Ferry - and David Bowie will be beamed into the show by satellite.

Designer Stella McCartney will be taking part in the event

Top designers taking part include Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Chloe, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Julien Macdonald, Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney and Versace.

They will showcase catwalk collections accompanied by live music from a star performer.

Sir Tom Shebbeare, chief executive of The Prince's Trust, said: "Fashion Rocks is a hugely exciting fundraising event for The Prince's Trust.

"Music and fashion is a powerful combination and the fantastic support we have received from long-standing Trust supporters like Nicholas Coleridge, managing director of Conde Nast, and icons from the world of showbusiness will help us to give even more young people a second chance in life."

The charity has helped 450,000 young people since it was established in 1976.

Tickets for the show are now on sale.
