Vernon Kay and daughter Phoebe make glamorous appearance at star-studded event

BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay and his daughter Phoebe donned their glad rags on Wednesday evening for the Vanity Fair EE BAFTA 2025 Rising Star Party.

The father-daughter duo mingled with a plethora of stars at the London bash, including the likes of Industry actress Marisa Abela, model Sabrina Elba, Heartstopper actor Joe Locke, and the Crown’s Meg Bellamy.

Dressed to impress, Vernon, 50, looked ultra-suave in a dark double-breasted blazer, suit trousers and an indigo turtleneck. He wore his raven hair swept back behind his ears and slipped on a pair of patent black shoes.

Vernon’s daughter Phoebe, meanwhile, was the mirror image of her mother Tess Daly, flashing a huge grin as she posed for photos during the evening. Emulating Tess’s sophisticated style, she opted for a pair of leg-lengthening black flares and a matching top complete with a square neckline.

The 20-year-old wore her icy blonde locks in Hollywood-esque waves and highlighted her features with a sweeping of golden highlighter, fluttery mascara and a slick of brick-red lipstick.

Ramping up the glamour, Phoebe spruced up her look with a pair of glittering silver bangles, gem earrings, pointed silver heels and a metallic baguette bag.

The radio presenter’s daughter embraced the limelight last year, stepping out to attend numerous events with her famous parents.

Vernon and Tess welcomed their eldest daughter on 17 October 2004. She was born the same year that Tess began hosting the BBC dance show, Strictly Come Dancing.

The couple, who wed in 2003, are also doting parents to a second daughter called Amber, whom they welcomed on 30 May 2009.

Reflecting on their future, Vernon previously told MailOnline: “We let them be independent when it comes to their futures because it’s important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.”

He continued: “Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that’s quite contradictory to how you want them to be. Tess and I grew up in hearty, wholesome Northern families and that’s a huge trait that helped us in our personal development and I think that’s really important.”

Meanwhile, during a chat with Giovanna Fletcher, the former model said of fatherhood: “It’s all a constant work in progress. No day is like yesterday.

“It’s always different, there’s always something that crops up, there’s always something that needs to be said and there’s a lot of fun to be had as well.”
