Help! What can I wear for a party with trendy people?

I would never normally post in this section because it's all a bit alien to me tbh - I wear linen trousers and tops for work, jeans at the weekend, a dress for high days and holidays - I'm just not a shopping, fashion person.
Which means that the fact dh and I have been invited to one of his old uni friend's wife's birthday party is filling me with dread. It's a 40th, but there will be lots of trendy London media type people there and I am having actual sleepness nights.
We've not seen any of the crowd for a couple of years and even when we lived in London and saw them more regularly I always felt frumpy and plain. I don't know any of the women well enough to ask them what they are wearing so I could get it SO wrong. Dressed up or down? Heels? Dh thinks it won't be overly dressy and feels I'm being ridiculous. He's going to wear jeans, a shirt and brogues. I wish I was a man! I also have zilch shopping budget but
have ordered this bargain top www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/ecote-pop-beaded-tank/invt/5747434799800/&bklist= which I'm hoping is glitzy enough to look dressed up but not over dressed up. Any ideas what I could wear it with or am I completely off the mark?
Sorry for the ramble.

...and had a bloody good night to boot I should add. First night completely away without kids in 6 years. But that's another story!
