Tess Daly turned heads on Friday as she stepped out in London looking effortlessly elegant, while one small detail quickly caught fans’ attention.
The Strictly Come Dancing presenter, 57, attended the launch of her Naia Beach pop-up in Notting Hill wearing a stunning white cut-out dress that perfectly showcased her signature style. But despite announcing her separation from husband Vernon Kay just weeks ago, Tess was still wearing both her wedding and engagement rings.
The appearance comes during a period of major change for the TV star, who has been focusing on growing her successful swimwear label, Naia Beach, since its launch in 2021.
Smiling for photographers throughout the event, Tess was joined by singer Louise Redknapp, Naia Beach co-founder Gayle Lawton, and several close friends as they celebrated the brand’s latest milestone.

The showbiz couple announced their split in a joint statement after 22 years of marriage as they vowed to continue to have ‘care and respect’ for one another
Her decision to continue wearing her wedding jewelry has sparked fresh conversation among fans following the couple’s widely publicized split.
In May, Tess and Vernon confirmed they had decided to end their marriage after more than two decades together, releasing a heartfelt joint statement that emphasized their mutual respect and commitment to their family.
“After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably,” the pair said at the time.
They also stressed that there was “no other party involved” and reaffirmed that their daughters, Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16, remain their top priority as they navigate the next chapter of their lives.
Although their relationship has changed, sources have previously suggested the pair have continued to handle the separation with maturity and remain focused on maintaining a positive family environment.
Tess and Vernon were last seen together publicly earlier this year while presenting an episode of The One Show. Since then, Tess has thrown herself into work, balancing her television career with the continued expansion of her fashion business.
Friday’s appearance demonstrated that the presenter remains as poised and confident as ever, with her elegant look—and especially the wedding ring still on her finger—becoming one of the day’s biggest talking points.
