Lady Penny Lancaster cut a seriously elegant figure as she joined her husband, Sir Rod Stewart, at St James’s Palace for the King’s Foundation inaugural awards ceremony on Tuesday evening.
The former Loose Women star, 53, glittered in a striking bronze dress from It-girl brand, Georgia Hardinge. Crafted from a metallic coated chiffon, Penny’s dress featured all-over pleats in a sunray design with a unique gathered detail on the skirt.
The wife of Sir Rod teamed her dress with elegant pointed-toe slingback heels, keeping accessories to a minimum as she let all attention fall on her striking metallic gown.

Her rocker husband, meanwhile, looked equally dapper as he wore a crisp cream suit jacket and smart black trousers.
Sir Rod and Lady Penny celebrate with King Charles
The King’s Foundation inaugural awards ceremony showcased the work of students, teachers, alumni and partners who have contributed to the organisation’s charitable efforts.

Speaking to Rebecca English, Royal Editor of the Daily Mail, the Forever Young hitmaker shared his admiration for King Charles continuing to work throughout his ongoing treatment for cancer.

Rod’s wife Penny added: “Just like my husband, His Majesty’s work ethic is incredible. He was the driving force behind looking after the planet, our communities, our historical buildings. He’s been that driving force for so many years before everyone got on the bandwagon.
“He knew exactly what he was talking about and the fact that he was itching to get back to work and do what he does best. He wants to make sure he makes his mark and raises enough awareness among people, so the younger generation will come through and follow on his work.

We have such respect for him and if we can do anything tiny bit to support him and his dreams and wishes to make it a better place then we absolutely will. We have always been supporters.”
