Pictures obtained by showed Emma, 31, who was dressed in a sheer bodystocking, and Sid, 48, enjoying themselves at the bash which was hosted by US erotica magazine Treats.
A witness told the publication: "No-one could quite believe what they were seeing and they were hardly discreet about holding the event.
"When people found out they were very annoyed, especially with lots of people strictly obeying coronavirus rules at the moment.
"The party was also attended by a throng of public school attendees that work in property, banking and events. This party is disgraceful given the current economic and social climate we are in."
A spokesman for Treats said company parties allow up to 30 people so no rules were broken and guests were tested as they went in.
The Sun has contacted reps for Sid and Emma.
