Myleene Klass stuns in fiery red as she arrives at RAM after dig at ex-husband

Myleene Klass arrived at the Royal Academy of Music on Thursday to be announced as Visiting Lecturer in Musical Theatre, signaling a new chapter in the broadcaster and singer’s career. The 47-year-old commanded attention in a fiery red ensemble that showcased a skintight top, high-waisted burgundy flared trousers, and a bright red structured trench. Completing the look were a huge quilted Chanel bag, dark red leather gloves, and a matching belt, with trainers added for comfort during her evening out.

The appearance at RAM comes as Klass has been navigating a highly public personal arc in recent weeks. She shared a series of messages about her eldest daughter Ava’s move to university, posting about the “single mum journey” and thanking the village that helped them reach this point. In a heartfelt Instagram note accompanying photos of Ava heading to campus, Klass wrote: “We have been through so much together, in particular the single mum journey where I often wondered if I could get her to this point alone. I never should have worried, we smashed it. The village scooped us up and today, my beautiful, talented, super smart babygirl started Uni on her terms.”

Klass’s public footprint with Ava’s move into higher education has been accompanied by reminders of an earlier chapter. The former member of Hear’Say and television presenter has publicly referenced a split from her ex-husband, Graham Quinn, dating back to 2013. In July, she claimed the breakdown involved his infidelity with an unnamed celebrity, a claim that fueled social-media speculation about the source of the disruption. Her comments drew attention online as fans parsed who might be involved, especially amid discussions about so-called “family brand” connections among celebrities. Klass has since moved forward with partner Ryan Smith, while Ava begins university life in London.

The timing of Klass’s RAM appearance also fits with a broader social moment. Earlier this week, she and former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby were photographed enjoying a boozy afternoon in the company of friends at Ce La Vi in London, a venue that opened its doors the day before its grand opening. The group, which included Spice Girl Emma Bunton, former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, presenter Christine Lampard and Kate Thornton, appeared to let loose as they shared champagne and conversations at a long table. The outing highlighted Klass’s ability to balance high-profile professional roles with social moments that have kept her in the public eye.

In parallel with her RAM announcement, Klass publicly celebrated Ava’s independence as she settled into university life. The teenage daughter’s arrival marked a milestone for Klass as a mother who has often described navigating single-parent responsibilities while pursuing a demanding career in music, television, and now education. The Instagram messages revealed a mix of pride and emotion, as Klass described driving away from Ava’s new digs and reflecting on the “empty passenger seat” where she once played the car DJ on family trips. She concluded with a message of gratitude to those who supported them and a hopeful note about the year ahead: “Mama’s dropping off this week, I see you. I’m driving home with you. If we do our job right, they can go and we can sit back knowing we did it. Proud of us all x.”

Klass’s fashion-forward RAM entrance underscored a public image built on versatility and resilience. Her choice of a bold red palette aligns with a broader theme in recent appearances—fashion as a statement of confidence and control as she steps into the role of Visiting Lecturer in Musical Theatre. The RAM appointment adds a new dimension to her career, aligning with her ongoing work in the entertainment industry while highlighting a commitment to nurturing talent in the performing arts. The collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music signals an emphasis on musical theatre education, a field that sits at the intersection of Klass’s performance experience and pedagogical interests.

As the year progresses, observers will likely track how Klass integrates the RAM role with ongoing projects, including public-facing appearances and her work at home with Ava and Ryan. The mix of personal milestones and professional duties paints a portrait of a multi-haceted public figure balancing career, family, and public scrutiny with evident poise. While the focus on her red-carpet choices and social moments continues to generate headlines, the RAM announcement marks a substantive step in Klass’s professional evolution, one that places her within a legacy institution known for shaping the next generation of performers.
