Penny Lancaster dressed to impress on Wednesday evening, stepping out alongside author Mark Aldridge at the season two premiere of Disney+'s Rivals at BFI IMAX Waterloo.
The Loose Women panellist, 55, incorporated spring's hottest trend, polka dots, into her look with her printed dress. The garment featured a cowl neckline with a swishy ankle-length skirt and figure-skimming cut. It was paired with black Valentino ballet pumps with a pointed toe to further elongate her silhouette, and she carried a plain black clutch to match.

She chose a cream faux fur style, which she hung from her shoulders elegantly. Her sandy blonde hair was styled in a shiny half-updo, and her radiant makeup look featured pink-toned shimmery eyeshadow and a glossy lip in a similar rosy hue.
Old school glamour
"Penny Lancaster absolutely leans into full old-school glamour here, and it works because she commits to the drama of the look. The sweeping faux-fur coat, the monochrome polka dots and the scarf detail all feel very cinematic; there's a strong Studio 54-meets-Parisian-editorial energy to it that instantly stands out on a red carpet," Oriona Robb, a luxury stylist with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, tells us.

The dress itself is fluid and feminine, but the pointed shoes, graphic print and oversized outerwear stop it from becoming too pretty or overly vintage-inspired. It feels confident, expressive and intentionally bold rather than safe."
Penny's fabulous florals
The Rivals premiere outing came after Penny got all dressed up to receive the Freedom of the City of London at Guildhall, in the City of London, in recognition of her work as a City of London Police Special Constable and for her charitable work.
