Vanessa Feltz turns heads in leather at Elizabeth Day book launch

Vanessa Feltz, 63, arrived at Elizabeth Day's book launch for One of Us in London on Friday evening wearing a black strapless leather dress paired with open-toed heels. She was accompanied by Trinny Woodall, 61, who cut a stylish figure in a black suit complemented by chromed gold stilettos and a black clutch. The two friends greeted photographers and exchanged smiles as they made their way into The Lavery, where the literary event was being held, marking the launch of Day's latest novel.

Inside the venue, Feltz and Woodall posed for photos with Day, the English author and journalist, who looked elegant in a strappy black dress and glossy tights. The trio chatted and laughed with Day as fans snapped pictures, underscoring the star-studded nature of the evening. Also in attendance was Nadiya Bychkova, the Strictly Come Dancing competitor, who wore a dark suit co-ord and flashed a glimpse of cleavage under a lace top. The setting was described as a lavish, high-spirited affair to celebrate Day's One of Us, a novel that explores the fragilities and loyalties of its characters.

The event came after Feltz has spent recent weeks in the public eye for a personal health and fitness journey. She has been vocal about her weight fluctuations over the years, including yo-yo patterns that spanned years, and has discussed the emotional toll of dieting. In recent interviews, Feltz has indicated that busy work commitments have helped her maintain a slimmer figure; she has said that working seven days a week—hosting a daytime show on Channel 5 and appearing on LBC weekends—keeps her active and contributes to her appearance. Nonetheless, she has credited consistency and a demanding schedule with helping her sustain a healthier lifestyle.

Separately, Woodall has continued to build her fashion-forward profile with international appearances. Last week she traveled to Australia for the Trinny London launch at Bondi’s Icebergs, an event that drew a host of Australian figures from fashion, fitness and media. Attendees included Samantha Armytage, Michelle Bridges, Laura Dundovic and other influential personalities. Woodall also spoke about managing a hectic schedule, noting that daily meditation has become an important practice for her. She described meditation as profoundly helpful in navigating the pressures of an expanding beauty business and a busy media calendar, reflecting her belief in balance as a key to sustaining success at every stage of life.

The London book launch and the Bondi event together illustrate how Feltz and Woodall have remained central figures in British and international culture and entertainment. The One of Us tour, Elizabeth Day’s continued literary prominence, and Trinny London’s global expansion all underscore a broader trend in celebrity culture: style and resilience in the face of demanding schedules. For Feltz, the racy leather look and confident demeanor symbolize a broader narrative about personal transformation and professional renewal that has followed her through the years, while Day’s novel adds another chapter to her literary career.
