British heiress Petra Ecclestone, who spent $85 million on Candy Spelling's 56,500-square-foot Holmby Hills mansion in 2011 (Ecclestone claims the mansion just seemed "warmer and cozier" than other homes she looked at), gave the place a major makeover. Gone are Spelling's fussy wedding-cake moldings, gold-and-crystal chandeliers and carved antiques. Her designers gave the 24-year-old heiress, who shares the mansion with her husband and their dogs, a dark, nightclub-meets-boudoir feel, right down to the super-swanky bowling alley.

W magazine offered a sneak peek of the redecorated manse last year. The accompanying story revealed a cinema with 20 custom theater seats (Mel Gibson is a friend, and Ecclestone once nearly forced him to reenact "Ransom" during a screening), a spa with a massage parlor, three hair stations and two mani-pedi chairs, and a 7,000-square-foot master suite, with a living room, kitchen, and his and her closets and bathrooms.

Now a full array of photos has been leaked online. It's really worth a look; the enormous lobby (for lack of a more fitting word) is now laid with black- and white-striped marble and hung with modern art, the bowling alley is fitted with exotic wood and plush sofas, and Ecclestone's two-level closet is furnished with modern statuary and resembles a high-end boutique.
