The women looked glam in a variety of dazzling outfits including Indiyah in a sequin mini-skirt and fur boob tube, and Chyna - who is dating Strictly's Neil Jones - in knee high pleather boots.
Villa lads Deji Adeniyi and Indiyah's boyfriend Dami Hope also attended and the group caught a flight over to Ireland together yesterday.

";Having to deal with the press and other people’s opinions, and people thinking that they know what’s going on when they don’t, that’s been challenging."
The star added: "But overall, I’m doing OK. I’m getting through it and keeping busy."
Gemma also praised her Love Island co-stars, saying: “The girls have been lovely.
“Every single one of them has sent me a message, being there, telling me if I never need a call they’ll be there. So that’s really lovely and makes it a bit easier.”
The reality star announced that she and Luca, 23, had split in a message posted on Instagram last month.
But an insider insisted he had been "blindsided" by the announcement, saying: "Luca had no idea that Gemma was going to end things."
In a sign that things may not be entirely amicable, he has now unfollowed Gemma on Instagram - though she still follows him.
His Love Island co-star Davide Sanclimenti has spoken about how hard Luca found the break-up.
