Down in the cellar of the Weston Wing you’ll find a striking portrait of the late, great Amy Winehouse captured by Charles Moriarty. Sitting in Larry’s, the gallery’s newly opened late-night cocktail bar, the photograph shows the jazz singer reapplying her lipstick in the Ritz Tower in New York City. This wasn’t the first time Moriarty had photographed Winehouse, either—in fact, this image was part of a wider series of portraits the pair collaborated on in the run-up to the release of Winehouse’s debut album, Frank.

Directly above Larry’s is Audrey Green, the NPG’s new café inspired by portraits of the inimitable Audrey Hepburn. Headed up by the team at Daisy Green, it features a dazzling collection of portraits covering various eras of Hepburn’s life, with a keen focus on her time as a ballerina. The portrait by Bassano Ltd hangs adjacent to the Weston Wing entrance and opens up the journey through Hepburn’s life, and specifically her time in London.
