While many holidaymakers battle frizz, salt, and sun-streaked strands in their vacation photos, Penny Lancaster has defied the odds. The model and TV presenter stunned followers with her picture-perfect hair during a romantic getaway to Lake Como with husband Sir Rod Stewart.
Penny shared a series of photos on Instagram, showcasing her smooth, voluminous blonde waves, which remained immaculate even as she posed on a breezy boat ride along the lake. Her caption read, “So appreciative [of] the opportunities we get to spend quality time together in our busy lives.” The couple took a short break in Italy while Rod continues his world tour.
Despite the casual holiday setting, Penny’s hair looked every bit the sun-kissed, brochure-perfect dream. Her flawless look quickly earned praise from celebrity friends. Myleene Klass commented, “Stunning ,” Gabby Logan wrote, “You look knock out,” and Lisa Snowdon added, “Gorgeous pic.”
Rod’s daughter Ruby Stewart also noticed the standout hair moment, posting: “The hair is just .”
However, one detail in the photo sparked laughter online. In a playful pose, Penny hooked her leg over Rod’s. Since both were wearing black trousers, the image created the illusion that Rod was wearing a stiletto heel. One amused fan wrote, “Had to look twice there , great set of ankles Rod has, I thought .”
Rod’s son Liam also joined the fun, joking about his father’s socks with the comment: “Dad’s adidas socks are perfect.”
Despite the optical illusion, the couple’s joy and style were unmistakable. And for anyone dreaming of Penny-level holiday hair, the Good Housekeeping Institute has tested anti-frizz products on over 200 women — ideal prep for your next trip.
As the famous lyric almost goes: He wears it well.
