It looks like everyone is getting into the mood for tonight's premiere of Batman flick The Dark Knight.

Model Jodie Kidd took a leaf out of the Caped Crusader's book yesterday and donned a cape at the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup polo match at Cowdary Park, West Sussex.

It was enough to make regular cape wearer Noel Fielding jealous.

Furthermore, she wore a pair of goggle-style glasses that looked like they could stop a speeding bullet.

Other guests at the event included Eighties TV star Stephanie Powers, former glamour girl Marie Helvin, Ben Fogle's wife Marina and author Salman Rushdie, who raised eyebrows as he chatted to 25-year-old journalist Alita Ighodaro.

After opening in the US last week, The Dark Knight is set to premiere in London's Leicester Square tonight before opening in cinemas across the country on Friday.

The action film, starring the late Heath Ledger as The Joker, took almost £77.5million in its opening weekend in America, beating the previous record-holder Spider-Man 3 by £2million.

Some critics have tipped Ledger for a posthumous Oscar nomination.
