Coleen Rooney dazzles in white as she makes rare public appearance alongside Christine Lampard

Coleen Rooney looked dazzling in white as she made a rare public appearance in Cheshire. The 36-year-old joined friend Christine Lampard at a charity event hosted by Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley.

The host of the Mental Mummies Charity Lunch at The Bridge in Cheshire put on an eye-popping display as she arrived at the event, held in conjunction with the domestic mental health organization.

Tanya, 40, turned heads as she arrived at the restaurant in Prestbury in a figure-hugging lemon yellow minidress. The wife of Burnley footballer Phil Bardsley teamed her eye-catching outfit with a pair of strappy silver heels and a matching handbag. She then ditched her pale yellow blazer on her way inside as she posed for the camera with fashion stylish friend Ryan Kay.

She was also joined by her lookalike teen daughter, Gabriella, who glammed up for the event her mum was co-hosting in a white bodycon dress with red, barely-there heels.

Coleen, however, went for a simpler look, opting to wear a frilled blouse that featured puffed sleeves, teamed with matching trousers. The mum-of-four wore her blonde locks in an elegant half up-do and styled her tresses into loose curls.

The star, who is married to former Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney, accessorised her chic look with diamond sparkling earrings, matching rings and an array of bracelets as she posed while holding a cream clutch bag for cameras outside the event.

Christine was also enjoying an afternoon away from her Everton manager husband Frank Lampard, and their two children. The 43-year old smiled for the cameras as she put on another stylish display in an emerald green trouser suit with a belted waist. She accessorised with a quilted black bag and matching strappy heels.

Other guests at the event included Tanya's former ITVBe co-stars Lysta Adams, who donned a vibrant hot pink minidress, and Nicole Sealy, as well as Kaya Hall-Jones - the wife of Manchester United defender Phil Jones - and former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey's wife Chantelle.

Presenter Jenny Powell was also snapped at the event and was seen posing in an eye-grabbing lace embellished black minidress and peep-toe heels. Caroline Thomas, the wife of former Emmerdale star Adam, was also in attendance and got the white memo in a belted playsuit showing off her long legs. She posed alongside her mother-in-law Gail who looked equally as stunning in a black floral dress.

Coleen's appearance at the event comes amid her court battle against former friend and fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy. She accused Rebekah of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the media in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long "sting operation".

Coleen was dubbed “Wagatha Christie” when she publicly claimed her fellow footballer’s wife shared the fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with The Sun newspaper.

Mrs Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies the accusations and is suing Mrs Rooney for libel, with the full trial expected to begin next month on May 9 and last seven days.

Outside of the court drama, the mum-of-four gave her fans a glimpse into hers and Wayne's new £20million mansion. The couple moved into the sprawling property at the end of 2021, several years after the couple purchased the plot of land for £4 million in 2017.

But after years of waiting, the pair have built their dream family home on the 40-acre site and appear to be enjoying the space with their four children - Kai, 12, Klay, 8, Kit, 6, and four-year-old Cass.
