Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster has been drowning in criticism after she was spotted wearing a teeny-weeny bikini on a yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.

Some fans say the gorgeous blonde looks “sagging” and “drooping” in the swimwear that “is not flattering,” while others say the 53-year-old model may not be “wow” and there’s “no need for name calling.”

Carving out some much-needed time for his family during his busy tour schedule, Rod Stewart whisked some members of his very large clan to join him and his wife Penny Lancaster in Sardinia, Italy.

Another amazing family holiday together (a few were sadly missed) in the [Mediterranean] bonding, healing, love and laughter,” writes Lancaster, who married the star in 2007, in an Instagram post. Attached to the post is a photo that shows the 79-year-old “Maggie May” singer with sons Aiden, 13, and Alastair, 18, and daughters Ruby, 37, and Kimberly, 44.

His grandson Otis, who is just over a year old, and his two sons-in-law Adam Sumner and Jake Alick were also there.

“We like to take every opportunity to bring the family, children, and grandchildren together,” Lancaster tells Hello! in a July 2024 interview. “Part of the family lives in America, part in England, so it requires a lot of planning, but at least two or three times a year, the whole clan comes together.”

‘Wrong bikini top’
Before jetting back to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace for his Las Vegas residency, the patriarch and his wife were spotted soaking up the sunshine on a $65 million super yacht in Porto Cervo, an Italian seaside resort in northern Sardinia, Italy.

Stewart, the singer of “Tonight’s the Night” used a towel to block his face from the scorching sun and is seen wearing a lemon-colored button down short-sleeved shirt.

Lancaster, who first met the “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” singer in 1999 while he was still married to model Rachel Hunter, wasn’t shy about showing off her gorgeous 53-year-old body.

The doting wife, wearing a tiny halter neck black bikini with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail, was seen playing in the crystal blue waters or relaxing on the deck of the luxury yacht.

Discussing Lancaster’s look online, some fans suggested the mother of two needs to rethink her wardrobe choices.

Upon observing the sagging drooping wrinkled up mammary sack barley restrained by stretched to the maximum material…it would be more like Ewwwwww,” tweets one critic.

“Wrong bikini top,” shares another. A third, referring to Lancaster’s career as a model, writes, “For a woman who was famous for wearing clothes for a living, she is sorely letting the side down. Not only does she need a stylist before going out in public, but she should learn ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”

Defending her, while also agreeing with the criticisms, one user pens, “The swimsuit is not flattering. She is in her 50s so stop the criticism. She is not ‘wow’ but no need for name calling.”

“Leave her alone, they are on holiday on their yacht not a public beach,” snipes another.

Fashion icon
On July 12, the London-born singer hyped up fans for his return to Caesars Palace with a post that shows him sitting on the yacht, wearing a black and white striped short suit.

He writes, “All striped up on me holidays and looking forward to [Caesars Palace] in Las Vegas 24th July till the 7th of August.”

Vogue said I was a style Icon… Do you agree? 😂

The outfit is an updated one of the version he wore in 1973, one of several “anything but subtle” looks that earned him Vogue’s title of “fashion icon.”
