Rod Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster, has recently attracted attention and criticism after being photographed in a revealing bikini aboard a yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.

The 53-year-old model has been subject to mixed reactions from fans. Some have expressed disapproval, suggesting that the bikini makes her look “saggy” and “droopy,” and have criticized the swimwear as “unflattering.”

Others have defended her, arguing that such negative comments are unnecessary and that there is no need for name-calling.
