Penny Lancaster shows off her long legs in a short purple dress and bright yellow blazer on Loose Women… as she reveals she keeps Rod Stewart out of the kitchen

She revealed she’s ‘a bit old-fashioned’ when it comes to gender equality.

But Penny Lancaster’s dress sense is anything but – as the 44-year-old appeared as a panellist this morning on ITV’s Loose Women in a rather daring outfit.

The model, who is married to Rod Stewart, 70, flashed plenty of leg in a short form-fitting purple dress and a bright yellow blazer on top on Monday.

Penny looked years younger as she boasted a flawless complexion and wore her blonde hair loose around her face.

Looking summer ready, she completed her look with a pair of purple strappy sandals and accessorised with gold bracelets on her wrist.

But while her choice of outfit was bold, it was her comments on the ITV show that attracted the most attention.

She revealed that she keeps Rod Stewart out of the kitchen because cooking dinner would ‘take his masculinity’.

The model, who married the Scottish rocker in 2007, said that she was all for ‘equal rights’ but that she believed in ‘the hunter gatherer, the macho man, looking after the family’.

‘I do agree with equal rights and if women want to go and work that’s fabulous,’ she said.

‘If anything, when men come home I think it’s more a case of being more a part of the family, being with the children, spending more time with the children, being a strong role model.

‘But going as far as cooking and putting the apron on, I think that, not belittles men, but takes the masculinity and I would miss that.’

She added: ‘We’re different… men are from Mars and women are from Venus, testosterone, estrogen, we’re different creatures, I think you’ve got to let men do it their way…’

Penny also revealed that her husband dresses up for family dinner at home, saying he puts on a ‘smart pair of pants and a shirt’.

Later, she was seen leaving the studios in more casual attire, carrying a large Louis Vuitton garment bag.

She accessorised her outfit of white shirt and jeans with a long leopard print scarf.

The temptation to overcompensate with make-up, and use it in a way you wouldn’t dream of ordinarily, is strong when you get married.

I know this, having been saved the shame of walking up the aisle in frosted mauve eyeshadow and corresponding lipstick by a beady-eyed sister, at my own wedding.

What was I thinking? Despite the years spent writing about beauty before this, keenness to look my best somehow derailed my better judgment and threatened to turn me into a fright-night bride.

Bridal make-up presents a challenge in that, while you want to look lovely and may be tempted to try something new to achieve this, there is a fine line between getting it right and compromising yourself. Your fiancé will doubtless say you look best without any make-up at all, but on this you should ignore him completely. For even if you don’t wear a scrap of make-up normally, or bother with it for the rest of your married life, on this day it is non-negotiable.

Your face needs colour to compensate for the paleness of your dress, and even if you are not wearing white, you still need definition for the camera. Cosmetics such as brow-bone highlighter, false lashes and brow and lip pencil were invented for this day because they define and subtly emphasise features. Experiment with these face-makers and eye and lip colours well before your wedding, with an expert or friend who knows, wearing a white T-shirt, and take a selfie in daylight so you can copy the look.

There is a big difference between being a camera-ready bride and an over-made-up one – it’s not only about piling on colour. Really, your make-up should appear natural, as if you didn’t have to try too hard to look this lovely.

Signature style! Mariah Carey sticks to her classic look as she puts on a busty display in curve-clinging dress in Paris

She’s been in the industry and in front of the cameras long enough to know what suits her.

And Mariah Carey stuck to her favourite style as she stepped out in Paris on Wednesday before leaving the city after a brief getaway.

The US superstar covered her ample curves in a skintight black dress as she emerged in the French capital, where she has been enjoying a holiday with her children.

The 45-year-old hitmaker flashed a dazzling smile as she waved at onlookers while leaving The Peninsula Paris Hotel, showing off her shapely figure and a fair amount of cleavage in the process.

Coming down to a flattering point on her lower leg to show off her intricate black heels, it encased the singer’s body perfectly, and was just about low-cut enough to afford a busty display.

She covered up with a classic black leather jacket, while wearing her long honey blonde tresses in a chic side pony tail, the lengths curled somewhat glamorously.

The Hero singer looked in good spirits as she exited the steps of the Parisian hotel, surrounded by plenty of fans, lapping up the attention with a beaming grin on her sunglasses-clad face.

The previous day, Mariah had worn yet another typically curve-clinging dress as she went about her day in the city, but had upped the elegance with an oversized shaggy feather jacket draped over her shoulders.

Wednesday would be her last day in town with twin children Monroe and Moroccan, though, as she tweeted to her millions of social media fans that it was time to leave.

‘Goodbye Paris! Thank you to the French #Lambily for all the support. Je T’aime!’ she wrote later in the afternoon.

She took herself for a short break abroad after completing her first round of concerts at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

Over the weekend the star treated her four-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe to a trip to the Eiffel Tower and on Monday the trio headed to Disneyland Paris.

‘It’s a small, small world! she wrote and added ‘Thank you for the fun @disneylandparis!!!’ alongside a collage of their time together at the sunny resort.

However, there might be some work involved in her current getaway, as she shared on Twitter and Instagram that she had met up with French graphic designer Jean Paul Goude and fashion uber-editor Carine Roitfeld.

Mariah split from the father of her children, Nick Cannon, in the spring of 2014 after six years of marriage.

The 34-year-old TV presenter is currently filming America’s Got Talent alongside Heidi Klum.

The twins were born on their mother and father’s wedding anniversary on April 30, 2011.

In the six years since Liya Kebede launched Lemlem, the supermodel has brought traditional Ethiopian textiles to a whole new audience. The company, which operates with the goal of providing sustainable jobs for local weavers, has succeeded in the ethical fashion market, offering customers exquisite handcrafted wares and the knowledge that their purchases are making a difference. This month, Kebede debuts an expansive collaboration with Anthropologie that serves to broaden Lemlem’s audience even further. With proceeds going to benefit maternal health in developing nations and a new array of products for the home, the capsule proved exciting for Kebede as a designer and humanitarian.

How did this home goods partnership with Anthropologie begin?

The classic Lemlem stripes and colors have always made sense as home goods. When Anthropologie approached us with an opportunity to see our stripes in the bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and beyond, it was a

no-brainer that this could be a really fun collaboration!

What would you say is the spirit of this capsule collection?

The collection is all about color. We wanted this capsule collection to epitomize summer—sunny and bright happy colors. Perfect for any beach home.

The capsule expands Lemlem into several new categories—which proved the most challenging?

We have three candles in the collection. I was so excited about the idea of our own unique scent, but I was surprised by how hard it is to find the right fragrance. In the end, we picked three really beautiful options that take me home to Addis Ababa.

How did you merge the Lemlem aesthetic with that of Anthropologie?

We pitched a few different motifs to Anthropologie and together decided what made the most sense for its customer. Anthropologie is feminine and adventurous, so we were not surprised at all with the direction the store wanted to take.

What is the most rewarding side of your role as the designer of Lemlem?

While we are all about making beautiful clothes, the goal behind Lemlem is to create sustainable jobs for weavers at our workshop in Ethiopia. Helping to provide a steady income for men and women in Ethiopia is definitely the most rewarding part of this work.

Let Runway Newcomer Shaughnessy Brown Tell You What It’s Like to Walk the Gucci Show

In keeping with the youthful spirit of Alessandro Michele’s vision for Gucci, casting directors Barbara Nicoli and Leila Ananna went with a fittingly fresh cast of house favorites and new discoveries for the label’s New York Resort show. Among them was Shaughnessy Brown, a Florida native who made her runway debut at Gucci this season. For Brown, her appearance at Gucci represented a culmination of years of hard work and the start of an exciting new chapter in her career. Sitting down with Style.com, she shares firsthand what it’s like to strut down the Gucci catwalk.

How did you feel when you heard you were confirmed for Gucci?

I was ecstatic. I wasn’t sure if I would be selected. I was at a go-see when my booker called and let me know the good news. I couldn’t believe it, I was practically screaming when I heard.

What did you know about Gucci before you had the chance to walk their show?

Gucci in my mind was very high-end. I mean, it is a luxury brand and one of the most well known from Italy. When you think about Italian design, it’s all about quality—some of the best clothing, the best stitching, the best materials. I’ve always liked Gucci. I mean, who would’ve guessed that one day I’d be cast in the show?

Since this was your very first runway show ever, what surprised you about the experience?

I didn’t realize how much goes into a fashion show. You don’t really see that when it’s all put together and you’re on the outskirts, but being in the show, you really get to see every single thing. Everyone’s working really hard: You have makeup, you have hair, touch-ups, styling…People are really, really working together to make the final product perfect.

What was working with Alessandro Michele like?

He’s very friendly and he knows what he wants when he sees it. He would go straight to the bow and fix it how he wants. He knows his whole setup in his mind. The rings were placed just so. I think he has a really good eye for the details and an understanding of exactly how to make things look the way he wants them to—for a creator, it’s necessary to have that vision.

What was the vibe like backstage?

It was really fun. I woke up and got there at 5 a.m., and I got straight into hair and makeup, and had a little bit of breakfast, and then did nails, hair, and makeup, did a fitting and a practice walk around the grounds. Then after five hours, we finally hit the ground running. It was at 10 a.m., the show. The venue was very European in a way, tons of rugs, wood, very nice Parisian chairs. I liked having the mix of boys and girls backstage—everyone was floating around, talking to people. There was no cattiness, nothing, it was good. It was totally relaxed the whole time, yet really busy.

What would you say was the best part of the whole experience?

The best part of the whole experience was probably when it was go-time. Leading up to it, everyone’s going crazy, but when it’s finally your turn to go and walk and really present the brand, it’s an incredible feeling. What’s cool about modeling, too, is that you get to meet so many different kinds of people. You have this opportunity to grow and learn from some of the best, so working with the team—Alessandro, Pat McGrath—was amazing.

Now that you’ve had your first show, what’s next?

I think what’s super-exciting now is that the ball is finally rolling. I mean, it takes so long to really get going. You can put your foot in, but when you actually start getting momentum and speed, that’s when you can start running and you can start reaching those levels with the big dogs, working for even more brands, or creating something for yourself. I’m just able to really dive into it now because things are pulling in all different directions for me. So it’s really just about doing as much as you can while there is time.

With great fashion comes great productivity.

There is more to fashion than looking good, and that is feeling good. To look aesthetically presentable is one thing, but to feel better about the way you carry yourself is totally another. A true, classy fashion sense transcends from the outside to the more essential components inside.

With Dockers’ Signature On-The-Go, fashion comes with a function. Wearing simple yet smart-looking Dockers pants in the office makes a modern gentleman feel more comfortable about himself and his craft, which makes one a more efficient worker. Feeling good is the first step to better productivity.

Dockers has always stood for a laid-back and effortless style and confidence stitched together with the right fit, fabric and design. And there’s no better product to embody these ideals than the Signature On-The-Go, because excellence doesn’t have to try so hard.

But while Dockers maintains its signature look that made it the leading khaki brand, it does not stop reinventing styles tailor-fitted for the changing needs of the modern, on-the-go man. Since introducing “Casual Friday” almost 30 years ago, Dockers has never been passive in incorporating innovation to its staples, making sure that “what to wear” does not add more worries of the on-the-go guy.

Beating style monotony with continued innovation and refined aesthetics, Dockers continues to change the way people carry themselves out there in a competitive world. You are what you wear. And with Dockers, you wear nothing but effortless confidence that comes with free-flowing productivity.
