Countryfile star Anita Rani<\/a> continued to showcase her glamorous Fashion Week transformation as she attended the star-studded Burberry<\/a> show on Monday.<\/p>\n

Hours after impressing in a daring dress, the presenter, 48, paid homage to the designer with her chic look for the show at 1 Old Billingsgate Walk in London.<\/p>\n

Anita opted for a stylish grey trouser suit with one of Burberry’s famous scarves draped over her shoulder.<\/p>\n

The radio star accessorised her look with a tan leather handbag as she joined stars including Iris Law<\/a> and Marisa Abela<\/a> at the show.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Anita swapped her comfy Countryfile tweed for a racy dress at the Raw Mango show.<\/p>\n

Anita, who has presented the BBC<\/a> country life show since 2015, added extra height to her frame with pointed patent heels and posed up a storm ahead of taking her seat in the front row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Hours <\/p>\n

Hours after impressing in a daring dress, the presenter paid homage to the designer with one of their signature scarves and a grey double-breasted suit for the show<\/p>\n

Her appearance comes after she condemned Jacob Elordi<\/a> for tortured anti-hero Heathcliff in the new Wuthering Heights,\u00a0because the Australian actor is white.<\/p>\n

The Celebrity Race Across The World<\/a>\u00a0star claims that Emily Bronte wrote Heathcliff as a non-white character in her 1847 gothic masterpiece.<\/p>\n

‘At the time, Britain was at the height of the colonial expansion,’ says Yorkshire-born Rani. ‘This tiny island was getting very rich from doing some very dark things around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Meanwhile in West Yorkshire, Emily and her two sisters were almost certainly not sitting around crocheting and dreaming of handsome princes.<\/p>\n

‘They knew all about this because they were educated, they were reading the papers, they were thinking, they were writing and they were raging, and it’s in the characters in their books.<\/p>\n

‘They’re women, they are independent, they’re clever, they’re passionate, they defy convention and they are questioning everything, particularly Victorian morality, which is why it’s important that Heathcliff isn’t white. It’s on the page, and what it does it changes everything. Think about it.’<\/p>\n

Heathcliff is described as ‘dark-skinned’ or ‘gypsy in aspect’, and as having ‘black eyes’ by Bronte, who also writes at one point that his ‘face is as white as the wall behind him’.<\/p>\n

Director Emerald Fennell, who won an Oscar for Promising Young Woman<\/a>, has stressed that Wuthering Heights is her personal interpretation of how she imagined the novel as a teenager.<\/p>\n

Anita and new boyfriend Alex Lavery\u00a0made their public debut in September last year during London Fashion Week, where they were spotted beaming at each other<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anita’s new relationship comes two years after she ended her 14-year marriage to technology executive Bhupinder Rehal in September 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A year on, in September 2024, she said that ‘life is good’ and that she felt like she was entering ‘chapter two’ of her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told Love Sunday Magazine: ‘Life is good, I’m in a good place. I’m focusing on myself and my own wants.<\/p>\n

‘It’s nice to be able to think about the second phase of my life. I’ve been calling it Chapter Two.’<\/p>\n

Anita met her former husband at a rave in east London and married in a Sikh ceremony back in 2009, before splitting last September, believed to be as a result of their hectic schedules.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Anita <\/p>\n

Anita is dressed in more comfortable attire on the BBC show, which she has hosted since 2015<\/p>\n

A source told The Mirror <\/a>at the time: ‘It’s really sad but they’ve decided to separate. Their hectic schedules over the past couple of years have sadly meant they’ve drifted apart over time’.<\/p>\n

Anita admitted she’d found ‘freedom’ after getting divorced in a candid piece for The Sunday Times, and explained how she has been navigating single life in her forties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anita, who was born and raised in Bradford, West Yorkshire by an Indian-born Hindu father and an Indian-born Sikh mother, also\u00a0revealed how her upbringing had impacted her approach to life.<\/a><\/p>\n

She confessed that her family believed divorce to be a ‘cardinal sin’, and while she admitted it ‘isn’t easy to talk about’, she wanted to detail how she feels about her life now so ‘that I am answerable to no one’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Countryfile star Anita Rani continued to showcase her glamorous Fashion Week transformation as she attended the star-studded Burberry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314021,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[146768,28515,321,146767,539,93,61,60,1489],"class_list":{"0":"post-314020","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-anita-rani","9":"tag-burberry","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-countryfile","12":"tag-dailymail","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-tvshowbiz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314020\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
