Penny Lancaster was just one of the famous faces who gathered at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday to celebrate the winners of The 20th Prince's Trust Awards.

The Loose Women star, 53, was seen looking radiant in a navy and white polka dot wrap dress. Her frock had a V-shaped neckline and a nipped-in waistline thanks to a built-in tie belt.

The model teamed the classic tea dress with gold jewellery, including a chain bracelet and a coordinating bangle. As ever, her hair and makeup exuded glamour - particularly her bouncy blonde blow-dry.
