Kate Ferdinand looked nothing short of sensational in a plunging white semi-sheer gown as she posed for Instagram snaps on Friday.
The former TOWIE star looked incredible as she joined husband Rio at PrettyLittleThing billionaire Umar Kamani and Nada Adelle’s star-studded French Riviera wedding celebrations.
Kate showed off her amazing figure in the glamorous number which she teamed with stylish silver pointed toe heels and a matching clutch.
Leaving her long blonde tresses loose in waves, the TV personality beamed as she coordinated with former footballer Rio who donned a white jacket and matching trousers.
The athlete rocked a pair of tinted glasses with his look and accessorised with a long gold necklace.
The couple are staying at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc for Umar and Nada’s lavish four-day wedding celebrations.
Also joining the couple for their big weekend was Lucy Mecklenburgh and her fiancé Ryan Thomas who took to social media to share photos from the luxury Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the exclusive resort linked to Eden Rock, owned by Pippa Middleton’s in-laws.
Lucy looked stunning for the white party as she donned a chic ruffled off the shoulder minidress which she teamed with a glamorous pair of heels.
The former TOWIE star toted her belongings around in a pearl clutch and donned a pair of matching drop earrings.
Lucy looked more loved-up than ever as she kissed fiancé Ryan, who also wore all white, in their hotel room before heading to the party.
Ryan was also joined by his two brothers Adam and Scott in the South of France as they posed in similar white outfits, matching shoes and sunglasses.
From May 2 to May 5, guests will stay in one of the 111 rooms at the secluded hotel, where it costs £3,000 per night for a junior suite – and there’s a two-night minimum stay.
It is unknown how Kate and Rio know Umar and his wife-to-be but they have previously been seen holidaying together in Dubai back in 2019.
Ryan and Umar have been friends for years, with the billionaire posing for photos with the Thomas clan in 2020.
The Coronation Street star uploaded a snap with Umar and referred to him as ‘family’ as he posed alongside his younger twin brothers Scott and Adam on Instagram.
He captioned the picture: ‘Family….a group experience of love & support’, which saw the entrepreneur comment with a heart emoji.
During Ryan’s stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018, Umar showed his support by flying a Pretty Little Thing helicopter which said ‘#Ryan to win’ over the CBB house.
Bride Nada has already changed her Instagram handle from her maiden name to Kamani.
Speaking to Vogue Arabia, Nada revealed the four-day wedding celebration will include a poolside welcome party, a white wedding with a surprise performance, and an Indian ceremony, all held in different hotel locations.
Umar popped the question in Côte d’Azur back in 2021, which made choosing the wedding location a straightforward task for Nada.
‘There is a place more special to us than any other. It has defined many of the most wonderful moments in our relationship,’ Nada said.
She added: ‘Picturing ourselves in this place we love, surrounded by the people we love, seemed completely natural and perfect.’
Unlike most weddings that span no longer than 24 hours, Umar and Nada planned a three-day itinerary for their special day.
On Thursday, guests commence celebrations at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc with a poolside party.
The white-themed bash will conclude with a grand firework display, and guests will enjoy belly and fire dancers.
But they shouldn’t party too hard because Nada and Umar will tie the knot the following day, with a ceremony at the Grand Allée before a black-tie dinner.
‘Things will get a little more relaxed and perhaps even wild at the afterparty, though, with special guest performances to wow our guests,’
Nada said. The three-day celebrations will conclude with a lavish Indian wedding, complete with an extravagant feast and Bollywood music.
