It was one of her biggest nights in the showbiz calendar after being named the 67th sexiest woman in the world by FHM on Tuesday.
And Lucy Mecklenburgh was clearly excited about attending the glitzy party following the awards as she took to Twitter ahead of the bash.
But her hopes were dashed when security apparently banned her from entering because winner of the night Tulisa Contostavlos was inside.
Banned! TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh was reportedly turned away from the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World party because Tulisa was inside
It was alleged this morning that the N-Dubz singer's management had given strict instructions to security that they wouldn't allow Tulisa to attend if anyone from The Only Way Is Essex was allowed in.
And as she had topped the poll, organisers were said to be keen to follow orders so they could secure her attendance.
Lucy was even prevented from walking the red carpet and to add insult to injury she was told she could attend the party once Tulisa had decided to call it a night and leave.
A source told the Daily Star: 'She was told if she turned up Tulisa wouldn't be allowed to and they really needed their winner at the event...

And the snub left Lucy devastated after she'd spent the day getting ready and had even got her outfit for the night out.
She wrote on Twitter ahead of the party: 'So flattered that I'm in #FHM100sexiest in the world !!!! I can't believe it !!! Can't wait for the party tonight!!xx.
'Just got the most beautiful Haute Hippie nude feather dress from @Vanilla_Style ! Can't wait to wear it later #FHM100sexiest.'
But a little while later she wrote how she had been left 'upset' and seemed to take a dig at Tulisa as she wrote: 'People need to remember where they come from !!!!! I'm soo upset.'
And ever the supportive boyfriend, Mario Falcone quickly tried to cheer her up as he gushed: 'Be home soon baby, don't b upset! Love you xxx.'
Happy! Lucy couldn't wait to go to the bash after she was named 67th in the poll
...But she later seemed to take a dig at Tulisa after she was left 'upset' as she was turned away
And he took a swipe at Tulisa for even managing to land the coveted title: 'Do not understand how Tulisa won FHM 100 sexiest women.... Must be a fix!!!'
Tulisa appeared to hit back at the TOWIE crowd on her Twitter today. She said: '@officialtulisa: Past few months I've had about 8 people create a whole scenario of beef with me in their imagination..i barely knew they existed#awkward.'
Organisers were said to be embarrassed about the snub and even told Lucy to 'go to any hotel, stay the night, enjoy room service and FHM would pick up the bill'.
But it was apparently FHM who were responsible for the snub instead, and not Tulisa.
The singer's representative, Simon Jones from Hackford Jones PR, has cleared up the events surrounding Lucy's snub, revealing FHM had said they were putting a ban on TOWIE members but had accidentally still invited some of them.
Supportive boyfriend: Mario Falcone comforted Lucy after her snub and took to Twitter to take a swipe at Tulisa winning the top spot
He told the MailOnline: 'FHM came to me a while ago asking me to invite my clients to their annual party. Their pitch to ensure some of our clients attended was that they were 're-branding' FHM's image and they were enforcing a ban on the TOWIE cast to up the level of celebrity attending.
'I agreed for some of our clients to attend, but I believe there was some mix up by FHM accidentally inviting some TOWIE cast members, who then had to be uninvited.'
And he jokingly added: 'I presume they are now publicising this as they're upset because they found out there was free fake tan in the goody bags!'
Meanwhile, FHM have released their own statement, explaining that they had to turn Lucy away due to the large guest list.
Night out: Mario attracted a lot of attention when he went out on the town in London last night
The representative said: 'In line with the ongoing evolution of the FHM brand and our world-famous sub-brand ‘100 Sexiest Women in the World’, a decision was made by FHM to restrict the over-subscribed guestlist to this week’s 100 Sexiest party.
'Regrettably this resulted in Lucy Mecklenburgh not being able to attend the event.'
Tulisa was joined inside by her boyfriend Jack O'Connell, as well as Georgia Salpa, Helen Flanagan and Emily Atack.
And while the TOWIE cast were reportedly banned, they were obviously happy to have stars from rival reality show Made In Chelsea inside as both Millie Mackintosh and Caggie Dunlop were attendees.
Meanwhile, it appears Tulisa's star seems to be on the rise as she's tipped to land the number one with her track Young this weekend.Â

As much as I still think Tulisa is not deserving of such a title, I do rate her for keeping those poor excuses for celebs out.

Did any of you slating tulisa even read the whole article! It states lower down it was actually an FHM rule that no towie cast were to attend although some were invited by accident! Clearly by Lucy going to her twitter and making these jibes shes trying to use Tulisa's current media spotlight to get some attention herself. Jealousy is an ugly trait!

Tulisa only won it because of her dirty video. - Louisa, London, 3/5/2012 16:42 +++++++++++++++++++++ Fhm and Askmen lists are totally influenced by popularity and thats the only reason why Tulsa topped it this year. Don't think her fame will last have you heard her debut single? Its naff.

tulisa on bbc1's live lounge the other day really wasn't very good... it's annoying that these kind of pop stars produce these singles when in actual fact they can't really sing them all that well when it comes to the live versions.

Out of the 2 Lucy should have won, yes she's on TOWIE but Tulisa is on x factor, another reality show, Lucy is also a business woman with her own shop etc. Tulisa needs a reality check!!

There should actually be more of this type of banning. As a pub landlord and owner (non-tied) in central london I started refusing service to these celeb types in about 2007 (so i guess i am a trend setter in this regard!) . My staff of 8 have been trained not to serve drink or meals to anyone who is from a reality show. I simply do not want these people on my premises. Just in case you a are wondering Tulisa would also not get served. Occasionally i get some that slip through the net and I once asked a very famous (but chavvy) celeb and her entourage to leave as they were waiting for food which they had ordered. One of her 'team' got quite aggressive with me at which point i explained that i have the right of refusal in my pub and on my freehold land. They received a full refund and went out with tails between there legs.

It hardly seems fair that Lucy was turned away from the party despite being in the top 100 herself??! That Tulisia really has some tickets on herself doesn't she, I find her to be crass, unlady-like and completely unappealing. Makes me wonder what breed of men were behind the votes.

Maybe some of the TOWIE cast need to remember where THEY came from! At least Tulisa has some talent.
