Penny Lancaster, 54, wows in a floral midi dress as she enjoys a day out with son Alastair, 19, at the first day of Royal Ascot 2025
Penny Lancaster looked incredible as she attended at the first day of Royal Ascot 2025 in Berkshire on Tuesday.
The wife of hitmaker Rod Stewart, 54, made the occasion a family affair, as she was accompanied by her son Alastair, 19.
She cut a chic figure in a plunging vintage dress from Dolce and Gabbana, teamed with a Annabeth Fenley percher hat.
The beauty added a pair of gold heels and toted her belongings in a stylish Lowe bee basket bag, worth a whopping £1,100.
Meanwhile son Alastair looked ever the gentleman in a morning suit with a grey top hat.
Penny was also joined by book editor Rosie Nixon, Penny showed off her chic sense of style in the fitted floral dress on Royal Ascot's first day.
Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, kicked off on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday.
King Charles and Camilla are likely to arrive in the famous carriage procession along the course and past the stands that will welcome hundreds of thousands of punters during the five-day meet.
It is a royal tradition that has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV.
The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and it is now a major social event and sporting attraction.
It comes after Sir Rod Stewart, 80, put on a very animated display as he posed next to his glamorous wife Penny at the Mission: Impossible 8 premiere in London last month.
The couple joined plenty of famous faces on the red carpet in Leicester Square to celebrate Tom Cruise 's eighth and final instalment, The Final Reckoning.
The film, which has faced multiple delays, finally hit cinemas on May 23 2025.
Penny looked effortlessly chic in a yellow satin dress, while Rod bared his chest in a white ruffled shirt and rocked a trendy jacket.
The loved-up pair, who have have been married since 2007, were joined by two young gentleman at the premiere.
The Maggie May hitmaker, 80, has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair, 19, and Aidan, 14, which he raises with third wife Penny, 54.
Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79.
Daughter Ruby, 37, is from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod's firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.
Rod's daughter Kimberly showed off her growing baby bump as she made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards.
The model and her siblings Sean, Ruby, Renee, and Liam surprised their famous dad on stage at the ceremony as he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Kimberly announced in March that she was pregnant with her second child, which will be her famous father's fifth grandchild.
Los Angeles based Kimberly is already a mum to 13-year-old daughter Delilah Genoveva Stewart, who she shares with her ex-flame Benicio del Toro.
She looked radiant in a figure-hugging black dress in a snap shared on Instagram as she joined her family at the star-studded event at BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday.
Kimberly did not reveal who the father of the baby was, only that she was expecting a son.
Singing icon Rod was so shocked to see his family at Monday's ceremony that he dropped an F-bomb that was edited out of the broadcast.
'I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you're here,' he said lovingly to his kids, according to DailyMail.com's reporter at the ceremony.
However, the version that aired on CBS featured a clumsy cut away from Stewart during his cursing to a bizarre shot of audience members, who were holding up their phones to film his speech.
Instead of beeping the profanity, CBS appeared to just snip out the offending word, resulting in a jarring return to his speech mid-word.
Rod said he was 'absolutely flabbergasted' because he had no idea that his children were going to be attending the ceremony, much less giving him a warm introduction.
'I thought you had recorded it earlier!' he said of their introduction.

Beyonce pays tribute to Sir Paul McCartney for penning 'one of the best songs ever' after performing the hit at her London shows
Beyonce paid tribute to Sir Paul McCartney by wearing an outfit designed by his daughter Stella as she performed one of his hits at her shows in London. The hitmaker, 43, wore a T-shirt featuring two blackbirds, in a nod to The Beatles 1968 song Blackbird, which she recorded a cover of last year. Beyonce has also performed Blackbird at her recording-breaking shows in London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this month. She went onto shared a sweet tribute to Paul in an Instagram post, writing: 'Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made. Every time I sing it I feel so honoured. 'And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter's design. 'Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family. Holla at 'ya when I come on tour again!' Blackbird featured on The Beatles' White Album, and holds particular poignancy for Beyonce, as it was originally written as a protest song against inequality in the US in the 1960s, when The Beatles refused to perform for a segregated audience. Beyonce's cover of the song, titled Blackbiird, features on her Cowboy Carter album. After it was released, Paul himself praised Beyonce's cover of the song, saying: ''I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.' On Monday, Beyonce brought her London shows to a close, having welcomed over 275,000 fans and grossed over £45million (over $61million USD), making it the most tickets and highest gross for any artist in the stadium's history. Beyoncé also now holds the all-time record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the most concerts performed by any artist. Her Cowboy Carter Tour shows - held June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16 - surpassed the benchmark she previously set with five sold-out nights during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. This broke her own all-time record for most performances by any artist at the venue. At the venue she also broke the record for the most ticket sales for any artist - with over 275,000 tickets sold. It is also the highest grossing concerts for any artist (over £45million) at Tottenham. The news comes after Beyoncé reportedly 'bowed down' to Mariah Carey and 'packed up her £25k-a-night London penthouse for the diva songstress to move in.' The If I Were A Boy hitmaker had booked a 12-night stay at the Corinthia while performing at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But she allegedly moved out at the weekend when self-confessed diva Mariah, 56, touched down to play at Capital's Summertime Ball on Sunday. A source told The Sun: 'Superstars as big as Beyonce and Mariah want to stay in only the best hotels. 'Beyonce had been staying in Corinthia's penthouses. 'But when Mariah flew in, Beyonce packed up so Mariah could take over her suites. It was like Beyonce was bowing down to another music queen.' It came after Beyonce made a rare public statement about her elusive son Sir Carter while bringing her show to Tottenham on Thursday. In fan footage uploaded on X, the pop diva wished little Sir and his fraternal twin sister Rumi Carter a happy eighth birthday while onstage. 'Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi!' Beyoncé commanded her devoted Beyhive. At that, Knowles-Carter's 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter affectionately touched her little sister on the chin during the three-hour concert featuring over 35 songs. 'Say happy birthday, Sir!' the 35-time Grammy winner added as Rumi embraced her. 'Mommy loves you.' Blue Ivy serves back-up dancer duties on tour while Rumi has been making an appearance onstage each night of Beyoncé's tour beginning at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on April 28.

Newest British nepo baby, 19, on the scene who stars as Tom Hardy's daughter in MobLand has famous parents AND siblings - so can YOU guess who she is?
The newest British nepo baby is now firmly on the scene. The 19-year-old actress stars as Tom Hardy 's daughter in MobLand - the crime series which also features Helen Mirren and Piercer Brosnan in the cast. Her father and mother are famous actors and even her siblings are well known celebrities. Her dad has starred in films such as Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and Kingsman: The Golden Circle and has six children with four women. While her half sister found fame with huge pop hits such as Smile and The Fear. So can YOU guess who she is? That's right it's Teddie Allen! Teddie is the daughter of actors Keith Allen and Tamzin Malleson and the half-sister of Lily and Alfie Allen. Lily, 38, is a world famous singer and actress and has received Grammy, BRIT Award and Olivier Award nominations over her career. Alfie, 37, is an actor, most famed for starring as Theon Greyjoy on all eight seasons of hit series Game Of Thrones, as well as John Wick and JoJo Rabbit. He welcomed Lily and Alfie with his first wife Alison Owen before his relationship with current partner Tamzin, 49, who gave birth to Teddie in 2006. Teddie recently spoke to The Sunday Times alongside her father, where she revealed what it is like to have celebrities in the family. She explained it had been 'weird' when she was younger, with people asking her dad for photos and other children at school quizzing her on her relation to Lily. Teddie added that an added negative was when she would search up her family on the internet and would see cruel comments about her from online trolls. However, she said that she enjoyed going to see Lily and swimming in her pool and recalled meeting celebrities like Nick Grimshaw and Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder. So can YOU guess who she is? That's right it's Teddie Allen! She explained: 'When I was at junior school, older girls started asking me if my mum and dad were on telly or if Lily Allen was my sister. That feels a bit weird when you're little. 'And when we were out shopping people would run up to my dad and call him 'a legend' or 'a hellraiser'. If they wanted a selfie it was usually me that ended up taking it. 'I wanted to say, 'You might think he's a legend and a hellraiser, but did you know that he calls me into the living room to get the TV remote from the coffee table because he's too lazy to get off the armchair?'' She added: 'As I got older it all started to make sense. I'd see pictures of him with Alex James from Blur or Jennifer Saunders, Neneh Cherry. There's a picture of me in the kitchen with Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. 'Then there's Alfie and Lily. I used to love going to Lily's house because she had a swimming pool — Nick Grimshaw was there one day and taught me how to dive. 'Foolishly, when I was about 11, I started googling my family and wish I hadn't. There was even some horrible stuff about me, saying how awful my name was. I didn't know these people, so what's it got to do with them?' Teddie quickly began to follow in her famous family members' footsteps, starring in the 2016 BBC adaptation of Swallows and Amazons at just 10 years old, as well as roles in Cider with Rosie and Four Kids and It. However, she said that despite her famous connections, she has not benefitted from being a 'nepo baby'. Teddie explained that Keith had refused to pay for her to have acting classes or help her get parts. She said: 'When I told him I was interested in acting, he said there was no way he was paying for some fancy acting college or hustling for work for his daughter. At the time I was a bit put out, but now I see he was right.' Explaining his view, Keith said: 'Teddie seems to be drifting towards acting but I can promise you that she has never been pushed or encouraged by me or Tamzin. 'None of this nepotism s**t. If she wants to do it, she can do it herself. I didn't have anybody helping me.' He continued: 'She seems quite wary of stepping into the public eye, or whatever you want to call it, because she's seen that it doesn't always have a positive outcome. 'That's the best way to approach it. All these people that are so desperate to be famous: f*** off.' He added: 'If Teddie ends up in Hollywood and she's happy, great. If it means I don't have to work, even better.' Speaking about the success of his other children, Keith said: 'For some stupid reason I keep getting asked if I mind my children being more famous than me. 'Lily has sold millions of records, Alfie has been in Game of Thrones. What kind of father gets jealous of his children's success?' Keith was 53 years old when he welcomed Teddie, and said that being an older dad was easier because he felt 'more confident' and less 'self-absorbed' as he had been when Lily was born. He admitted he wasn't 'as pleasant as I could have been' and that he has made a lot of mistakes in my life', but that he had learned from them and now cared more about being with Teddie than work. Teddie admitted that her dad being older can make her sad when she thinks about how much time she has left with him, but that she's realised he's 'not a normal 70-year-old.'

Rylan Clark reveals what he's looking for in a life partner as he opens up about his 'secret single behaviour' after divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal
has revealed what he's looking for in a life partner as he opened up about his 'secret single behaviour' after his divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal. The TV presenter, 36, split with Dan in 2021 after six years of marriage when Rylan admitted he cheated on him. And now in a new episode of his new podcast How to Be in Love, Rylan joined agony aunt and psychotherapist Philippa Perry to talk about love and life. On what he's looking for in a partner, the star explained: 'I want two things out of someone. One is that you make me laugh and don't make me cry. 'And the other one is when I walk in to the house, or you walk into the house, you ask me or I ask you, 'how was your day?'' Rylan went on to open up about his behaviour when he's single, revealing: 'For the past few years, I have been on my own, in the sense of living on my own, which is something I've never done in my entire life. 'But I have got to the point where I've got my 'SSB', my Secret Single Behaviour, where I might talk to the coffee machine in the morning and go, 'of course you want me to empty the drip trays!' 'You know, it winds me up, but I will say it out loud. Some people might think I'm unwell. 'I'm not, it's my Secret Single Behaviour.' Since his divorce, Rylan has been open about his dating life, or rather, the lack thereof, and has revealed that he has been on only two dates in the past two years. As for the reason for that, he said 'there is a bit of an issue' with dating in the digital age. He explained: 'nowadays it's all digital, and I find myself falling into this trap of talking to people, never meeting them'. Asked if the perfect person exists, Philippa replied: 'No, they do not exist. What there is, is good raw material'. Rylan previously revealed his own infidelity during his marriage with Dan caused the downfall of their relationship. After he revealed that he had been unfaithful, Dan eventually ended the relationship after the heart-wrenching confession. Following the heartbreak and the deterioration of his marriage, Rylan had suicidal thoughts and his weight dropped to just nine stone. He opened up about these challenging times in his second autobiography, TEN: The Decade That Changed My Future. In the book, he penned a candid reflection and said: 'I got in a relationship quite young and just went with it. 'Now I know I'm my own person. I'm not going to settle for something that's not right. In a way it's been a bit of a gift.' 'I'm happy to have sex with someone and that's that, that's not a problem. But do I want more? Of course I want more. 'Am I going to enjoy myself on the way? Abso-f***ing-lutely.'
