Not exactly your average student: Undergrad Lily Cole ditches her bike to jet off for A-list party in New York

Supermodel Lily Cole proved that she is far from your typical university student over the weekend.
Just one day after she was photographed riding a bicycle around the flat streets of Cambridge, the 20-year-old posed for the cameras outside a celebrity-laden party on the mean streets of New York City.
Lily mingled with stars including Lindsay Lohan, Chaka Khan, N*E*R*D and MIA at the Diesel xXx 30th Anniversary Rock & Roll Circus celebration at Brooklyn Waterfront’s Pier 3 on Saturday.
It was all a far cry from her activities in Cambridge at the end of last week, when a bare-faced Lily could be seen with her hair tied back in a simple bunch as she rode her push bike around incognito.
But despite her fortune relying on her good looks, the 20-year-old failed to wear a protective safety helmet.
Lily won a place at Cambridge two years ago to study social and political sciences but took two years off to concentrate on her modelling career. She has now switched to a three-year history of art degree.
But while Lily has for the most part given up the glitz and glamour of the catwalk, she seems unable to completely let go of her jet-set lifestyle.
