Lizzie Cundy puts on a VERY leggy display in a gold fringed mini dress as she joins busty Ella Morgan at star-studded charity ball
Lizzie Cundy looked incredible as she hit the red carpet alongside Ella Morgan at the Rainbow Honours charity ball at the London Hilton on Friday.
The former WAG, 57, put on a very leggy display in a gold fringe mini dress which boasted sheer panels and teased a glimpse of her jaw-dropping figure beneath.
Accentuating her timeless features with glam make-up the stunner slipped her feet into sparkly heels and posed up a storm.
Meanwhile MAFS UK star Ella, 31, opted for a plunging pink dress complete with racy thigh high split and added extra sparkle with gold accessorises.
The duo were joined at the star-studded evening by other famous faces including Sally Lindsay, Suranne Jones and Linda Robson.
The annual event recognises and celebrates individuals and organisations who dedicate themselves year-round to driving change and championing LGBTQIA+ equality.
It comes after Lizzie opened up about the realities of being a WAG in the noughties as she shared the 'lonely and isolating' reality of her split from her footballer ex.
The TV star got married to the former Chelsea player Jason Cundy, 55, in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London.
Lizzie split from Jason in 2012 after discovering his affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley.
Now, in a new BBC documentary titled Sex After Celebrity, Lizzie revealed the difficulties she faced with being in the public eye at the height of her fame.
Reflecting on the period when her marriage split became public, she described it as the 'most awful time' in her life.
She said: 'It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers.
'There's a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn't even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well.
'Friends I knew didn't know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed.
She added extra sparkle to the ensemble with gold accessorises

EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal cut a stylish figure on the red carpet
'They didn't really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.'
She continued: 'And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, "Could they have put that story in?" or, you know, "I only told that person, so how did it get in?"
'And quizzing and questioning people that you've known a lifetime. So that side was awful.'
Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool.
She explained: 'It's difficult when you've been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did.
'And I've actually been on a date where we're sitting there and I've seen him push his phone, and I thought, "I think you're recording me."
'So I just said it out, "Is your phone on? Are you recording?" And he just went, "Yeah..."'
Fast forward to present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it was 'great now'.
She went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has since enjoyed some other relationships out of the public eye.
The TV star said: 'I am loving dating. I do long-distance relationships, which is fantastic.
'So, you know, you can send little naughty pics and you just keep it fresh. They're not there all the time, getting on your nerves.
'You know, guys are good for different things. You know, I used to have one guy and I'd think, "Oh, if only he was a little bit more fun and wanted to go out at night".
'I've got guys, you know, one likes football, one likes going out for dinner, one makes me laugh, one's good in bed, you know? Got it all.
'So that's what... I'm free. I love it, and I've never been happier.'

Rod Stewart: let's give Nigel Farage a chance
Sir Rod Stewart has called on Britain to 'give Nigel Farage a chance' as he revealed how close he came to pulling out of his Glastonbury appearance. The 80-year-old singer backed the Reform UK leader ahead of appearing in the festival's afternoon legends slot on Sunday, 23 years after he headlined the Pyramid Stage. Stewart's views could put him at odds with the typically liberal Glastonbury crowd. Many artists at this year's festival have flown flags in support of Palestine, while Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice said on Friday he turned down an appearance at Glastonbury because he feared he would not be 'safe'. But Stewart insisted now is the time to consider voting for Reform. 'I've read about (Sir Keir) Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular,' he told The Times. 'We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. Nigel? What options have we got? 'Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.' Admitting his wealth ensures 'a lot of it doesn't really touch me', he insisted he is not out of touch and expressed his support for Ukraine - criticising Donald Trump and JD Vance for their treatment of Volodomyr Zelensky on his visit to the White House - and Gaza. 'It's depressing, what's going on in the Gaza Strip,' he said. 'Netanyahu doesn't realise that this is what happened to his people under the Nazis: total annihilation. And Trump is going to turn the Gaza Strip into Miami?' 'I wouldn't wish what I had on anyone. Except Putin' Stewart said a prolonged bout of flu, which forced him to cancel five shows in the US, nearly forced him to withdraw from a Glastonbury appearance he described to ITV as his 'World Cup final'. 'This time last week I was thinking of cancelling,' he told The Sun, crediting his wife Penny Lancaster with nursing him back to health. 'I have had Influenza A. It's been so terrible. It's the worst thing anyone could possibly have, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. 'Apart from (Vladimir) Putin. I'd wish it on him.' Stewart told The Sun he had negotiated an extra quarter of an hour on top of the allotted 75 minutes for his set. He confirmed he will be joined at Glastonbury by former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Lulu, as well as performing the song Powderfinger by Saturday headliner Neil Young.

Jeff Bezos' wife Lauren Sanchez slammed as 'tacky' by Katie Couric on WEDDING DAY in nasty social media post
Katie Couric both shocked and delighted her fans when she lobbed a nasty comment at Jeff Bezos ' new bride Lauren Sánchez. The confrontationally timed post — which she made on Bezos and Sánchez's wedding day — accused the Amazon billionaire's second wife of being 'tacky.' The 68-year-old television journalist weighed in on the last confrontational post from Jack Schlossberg, a writer famous for being the nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr. and the daughter of Caroline Kennedy. Schlossberg — who has repeatedly feuded with his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his controversial work as the President Donald Trump 's Secretary of Health and Human Services — appeared to have poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez over the wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, in recent days. On Friday, he reposted the cover of Vogue, which featured the 55-year-old journalist in her opulent white lace wedding gown. 'Like I said … vogue,' he captioned the magazine cover, which read 'Here comes the bride!' in celebratory text. Katie said the wedding looked straight out of the 1980s and reeked of 'conspicuous consumption,' adding, 'Apparently tacky is back' In the photo, Sánchez beamed ear to ear in the wedding dress, which featured lacy floral sleeves and a figure-hugging bodice with a high neckline. It had a skirt with paisley and floral lace designs that was cut close over her hips before fanning out at the knee. It featured a long white train behind her, and her sheer veil also dragged behind her to create a second layer. In her comment, Couric snapped: 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back.' Schlossberg played off Couric's '80s-themed comment and suggested in a reply: 'Let's bring back scrunchies.' Other Instagram users in the replies ate up Couric's catty comment, with one person gushing, 'I love this side of Katie Couric!' Another simply wrote 'love you' after a string of tears-of-laughter emojis. 'Spot on! 👏 "Money can't buy you class..😂," agreed another fan. '💣💥'I am here for this kind of commentary ❤️,' added one poster. Another commenter claimed that Schlossberg were hitting out at the 'greed is good crowd,' referencing Michael Douglas' defense of selfishness from Oliver Stone's 1987 classic Wall Street.' Bezos and Sánchez tied the knot in an extravaganza that reportedly cost $20 million and involved the wedding party of wealthy A-listers taking over the entire San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice. Just minutes after saying 'I do' with Bezos, Sánchez took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and the groom, which she captioned with their wedding date. While he favored a more casual, summery suit on Thursday, Bezos opted for a classic black three-piece tuxedo for his wedding day. More than 200 guests descended on the wedding, and many of them flaunted the extensive work they have had done over the years. Two plastic surgeons — New York City–based Dr. Elie Levin and New Jersey–based Dr. Smita Ramanadham — both spoke exclusively to on Friday about the apparent cosmetic procedures of the high-profile guests, which may have inspired the sentiment behind Couric's snide comment. Bezos and Sánchez have been an item going back to 2019, and it was revealed that they had already legally married prior to the ceremony. Among the celebrity guests at the wedding was a solo Orlando Bloom, who made his debut as a single man just days after he was reported to have split from his longtime fiancée Katy Perry. Although her absence was reportedly due to conflicting tour dates, she shared a sweet message on social media with Sánchez to celebrate her big day. During the wedding celebrations, Orlando raised eyebrows when he was spotted wrapping an arm around a mystery woman. She was later revealed to have a connection to his ex, as she is the former stylist of both Katy and Meghan Markle.

Oprah Winfrey, 71, shows off her Ozempic weight loss in fitted gymwear as she enjoys a workout with Gayle King, 40, and Orlando Bloom, 48, in Venice ahead of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding
Oprah Winfrey showed off her slimmed-down figure as she enjoyed a pre-wedding workout with buddies Gayle King and Orlando Bloom in Venice on Friday morning. Ahead of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos ' ceremony that evening, the guests managed to squeeze in a jog around the cobbled streets. TV personality Oprah, 71, looked incredible as she displayed her weight loss in a fitted blue T-shirt and ribbed leggings. The talk show host - who once topped the scales at 237lbs in 1992 - finally reached her 160lb goal weight in 2023 after undergoing double-knee replacement surgery in 2021. After vehemently denying she had ever taken weight loss drugs, she finally admitted to taking them in a shock interview. Oprah lead the pack of celebrities flaunting much smaller physiques, alongside her best friend Gayle, 70, who has also dropped the pounds. The pair may have been on holiday but they were determined not to let their fitness levels drop She also dressed casually in a blue vest, teamed with a pair of fitted shorts. The duo bumped into Orlando, 48, on their workout, who chatted with the pair before continuing with his run. Earlier in the day the group had enjoyed breakfast at the Gritti Hotel amid the wedding celebrations, which are expected to continue until Sunday. A-list stars have flocked to the romantic city to attend the lavish wedding reveling in the opportunity to parade their slimmer bodies amid the Ozempic trend sweeping Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, looked considerably thinner as he arrived for the celebrations, although his method for recently transforming from tubby to trim remains a mystery. Kim Kardashian, 44, and her sisters also showcased their impossibly small waistlines. Her sister Khloe, 41, also showed off her gym-honed figure into a simple black summer dress as she went shopping with her leopard print clad mother Kris Jenner. But the bride-to-be was not to be outdone - with Sanchez, 55, wearing the most eye-popping corset of all to her pre-wedding party at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters on Thursday night. The talk show host - who once topped the scales at 237lbs in 1992 - finally reached her 160lb goal weight in 2023 after undergoing double-knee replacement surgery in 2021 The TV personality, 71 - who once topped the scales at 237lbs in 1992 - finally reached her 160lb goal weight in 2023 after undergoing double-knee replacement surgery in 2021 The Ozempic wedding! Celebrities including Oprah showed off their skinny waistlines at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding extravaganza in Venice on Thursday wearing a Valentino Garavani dress Oprah is pictured in August 2019 before her weight loss Kim Kardashian and bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez showcased their tiny waistlines at the pre-wedding party Suddenly slim Leonardo DiCaprio also revealed his trim new look (left, and right in 2019) The wedding ceremony itself is set to take place on Friday, June 27 - but festivities are already underway in preparation for the big day. Oprah looked more confident than ever at the pre-wedding party while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides that showcased her shrinking midriff. The former talk show host has showed off her slimmer figure in recent months - such as when she made an appearance at the 2025 Tony Awards in NYC. Back in 2023, the star admitted to taking weight loss medication and at the time she told People, 'I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing... 'The fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.' Winfrey added, 'I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself' and explained she had recommended weight loss drugs to people before making the choice to also take the medication for herself. However, despite her weight loss journey being aided by medication, Oprah told the outlet that she also sticks to a fitness regime to also shed pounds, and maintain a lower weight. And earlier this year in January, the star expressed that taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about 'thin people.' Oprah - who has lost nearly 50 pounds with the aid of one of the newly popular weight-loss drugs - was seen arriving to Venice on Thursday She once again gave a glimpse at her smaller frame as she attended a party later on Thursday while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides Kim Kardashian has also recently sparked surgery speculation as she continues to flashy her very tiny waistline. As she arrived to Venice on Thursday, the TV personality showcased her sculpted midriff in a Balenciaga outfit. The mom-of-four donned a strapless, black bandeau top as well as a maxi skirt and snakeskin boots. Her slim waist was further put on display as she later also stopped by the star-studded bash in a snakeskin Versace dress that clung to her curves and had small cutouts on the front. Bedazzled embellishments were added on the plunging neckline as well as the straps that wrapped around her shoulders. The star's long dark locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Kim has briefly opened up about her size in the past, such as in 2018 when Elle Magazine reported that she had a 24 inch waist and hips that measured 39 inches. The media personality also notably dropped 21 pounds in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress for the Met Gala back in 2022. The bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez also flaunted her slim waist while heading to Thursday's party in Venice. She wore a strapless gold dress with a fitted, corset bodice as well as intricate embroidery on the skirt and top portion. The journalist slipped into a pair of closed-toed, gold pumps and styled her locks into a chic ponytail. Bezos was seen helping Lauren into a boat as they headed to their next destination and the pair later sent waves to onlookers nearby. Speculation has previously arisen that Sanchez has undergone procedures such as a facelift and injectable fillers. Back in April, she uploaded an Instagram clip ahead of her Blue Origin space trip - and plastic surgeons told that they believe she had additional fillers in her cheeks and lips as well as fresh Botox around her eyes at the time. Khloe Kardashian was also seen joining her mom Kris Jenner and most of her siblings during the wedding extravaganza this week. The Good American founder put on a stylish display wearing a fitted dress with small cutouts on the material and a lowcut neckline. Earlier in the day, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing an animal-print jumpsuit as she arrived to Venice. Last week on her Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, she addressed the 'gross' reaction that she got over her weight loss. 'The bigger I was, I was way more confident. I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you're going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that.' She added, 'When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn't for me. I felt like, "Well, I can't get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen." 'It was also a different type of attention I was now receiving. And then once I got a little older, I was like, "Wait, this is gross." I hated that that's why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way.' Khloe later reflected, 'I've learned, no matter what, I'm never going to make people happy because I was once bigger, I was thinner, and I had the same amount of people, but from different ends.' Gayle King - who has also recently showed off her slimmed-down look - was also spotted during the festivities on Thursday. The TV personality was seen arriving to the Venice Marco Polo airport wearing a long-sleeved white top as well as pastel green cargo pants. Gayle King - who has also recently showed off her slimmed-down look - was also spotted during the festivities on Thursday King later dressed to impress alongside Oprah wearing a yellow and white-colored dress for the bash. In recent months, fans have begun to speculate that Gayle may have also used Ozempic to help aid in weight loss. Slimmed-down Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen making an appearance on Thursday with his supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. The Titanic actor wore a classic black suit as well as a white dress shirt and a black cap that was placed on top of his head. Fans had previously pointed out the Oscar winner's fuller figure but he appears to have gone back to his leaner frame in the latest outing this week. Bezos and Sanchez's $20 million ceremony will take place on Friday - although it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married. A source told 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' They added, 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. Slimmed-down Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen making an appearance on Thursday with his supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti Bezos and Sanchez's $20 million ceremony will take place on Friday - although it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married; seen in May in France 'There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning,' the insider continued. It was also added that the billionaire confirmed both he and Lauren are legally married and that they have signed a prenuptial agreement as well. The A-list guests that are attending the wedding - including the Kardashian/Jenner clan - are staying at five star hotels in Venice such as the Aman, The Gritti Palace and the Cipriani.
