She is known for her elegant sartorial displays. And Katherine Jenkins was true to form as she made a stylish arrival to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire on Thursday. The 33-year-old had no issue sticking to the annual racing event’s strict dress code as she made her way to the racecourse with her fiancé Andrew Levitas.
The classical singer opted for a lovely blue shift dress with a cinched-in waist that perfectly accentuated her svelte figure. She teamed the dress with a striking fascinator – in a matching blue colour – which looked similar to Philip Treacy hat worn by Victoria Beckham at the royal wedding in 2011. The Welsh beauty added height to her ensemble with nude stiletto heels while she held onto a small nude clutch. She wore her honeycomb locks naturally wavy underneath the perfectly placed fascinator while she highlighted her natural beauty with flawless make-up.
And her husband-to-be Andrew was also dressed to impress as she teamed a grey three-piece suit with a navy tie and a black top hat. Earlier this year, Katherine announced that she was set to wed Andrew, following a whirlwind romance. Speaking about the recent proposal, a source close to Katherine said: ‘Andrew proposed in the Hamptons at his family home on Tuesday. It has been a whirlwind romance but both families are absolutely thrilled.’
Mr Levitas, 36, is a professor at the prestigious New York University and is a distinguished artist and film-maker. Later this year he will be releasing the film Lullaby, which he wrote and directed. It stars Amy Adams, Jennifer Hudson and former Downton Abbey actress Jessica Brown Findlay.
The pair met when they were both working in New York and began dating in October, shortly after she split from Prince Harry’s close friend Adam Bidwell. He joined the singer as she collected her OBE from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace last month. Friends say the couple plan to marry in 2015 and are likely to have the ceremony in Wales, where Miss Jenkins’s family lives, followed by a small service in the US, where Mr Levitas was born.
