Glam Abbey Clancy takes her children to watch Sabrina Carpenter perform at British Summer Time in Hyde Park
The model, 39, whose husband is football legend is Peter Crouch, 44, looked incredible in a pair of loose-fitted blue denim jeans.
She paired her jeans with a figure-hugging black top and an oversized black leather jacket.
She added inches to statuesque frame as she slipped into a pair of black wedges and toted around her belongings in an olive leather bag.
To finish her ensemble, she accessorise with a chunky black belt and a pair of black tinted sunglasses.
Abbey was seen with her four children Sophie, 14, Liberty, nine, Johnny, seven, and Jack, five.
Abbey's outing comes after her lookalike daughter Sophia showed she has taken after her model mother as she joined her famous family and footballer father Peter Crouch at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club for day four of Wimbledon on Thursday.
The daughter to the famous couple, 14, showed off her resemblance to her mum as she was seen topping up her lip gloss in the crowd.
She joined Abbey and Peter who looked happier than ever and packed on the PDA with a kiss while sat in Centre Court, as she stepped out in an all white ensemble.
For the outing, Sophie put on a very glamorous display as she toted her belongings around in a black leather Miu Miu bag.
It appears that she also has her mother's eye for designer accessories, as she accessorised with four Christian Dior cloth bracelets, each worth a whopping £250.
To finish her sporting day outfit, Sophia was seen wearing false eyelashes as she applied a layer of Hailey Bieber 's Rhode lip gloss.
Meanwhile Abbey - who is also a mother to Liberty, nine, Johnny, seven, and Jack, five - looked incredible for the outing as she wore a yellow striped suit.
Liverpool football legend Peter, looked handsome as he attended the event in a casual blue shirt.

Abbey has had a highly successful modelling career, while she's also branched out into presenting, novel writing and even won Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013.
And Sophia has taken nepotism in her stride as she made her modelling debut aged eight when she joined Abbey for a Lipsy shoot.
Sophia has reportedly had 'loads of offers' already from agencies as she is being dubbed the 'next Lila Moss'
A source told Heat World: 'Sophia is getting lots of offers from modelling agencies. They see her as the next big thing, thanks to her looking like Abbey and having Pete's height.
'She has already done campaigns with her mum, but now big-name agencies are desperate to sign her and turn her into the next Lila Moss.'
Centre Court spectators will be watching Jack Draper compete against 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic and Dan Evans takes on Novak Djokovic.
Draper, the current world No4, takes on 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic this afternoon as he looks to progress past the second round for the first time at SW19.
World number one Jannik Sinner is also back in the spotlight, up against Aleksandar Vukic, whilst Iga Swiatek plays Caty McNally in the other Centre Court match.
Judy Murray has opened up on the secrets of the Royal Box at Wimbledon as celebrity guests continue to flood into Wimbledon.
While there are 18 Championship grass courts at SW19, all eyes are often on the historic Centre Court, which plays host to the best stars the sport has to offer as they compete for glory.
Centre Court boasts nearly 15,000 seats, meaning lucky punters can be seen cheering on their favourites, and are joined by guests in the Royal Box at around lunchtime each day.
So far this week, the likes of John Cena, Thomas Tuchel and Olivia Rodrigo have all been present, with all three part of a star-studded line-up in the Box on Wednesday.
On Tuesday Judy, renown for her coaching work in the sport and her support for tennis-playing sons Andy and Jamie, made an appearance.
Before her trip, she opened up on what it is like in the Royal Box on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with The National Lottery on Virgin Radio UK.
'Royal Boxing should be a verb, shouldn't it?' she said.' It should be a summer verb.'
She added: 'Well, you arrive usually around 11.30, so you go upstairs, they have a champagne reception, then you go in for lunch and you could be sitting beside absolutely anybody at lunch. There's no seating plan, it's just as you go into the room.
'It's in the clubhouse of the All England Club, and the first year that I went I took my mum, of course, and we sat with Jack Nicklaus. I sat with a few years ago a lady who was the first female Spitfire pilot. I mean it's just you could be with absolutely anybody and the stories are fascinating.
'It's really tough when the sun comes round because there's no escape.
'It's actually I think worse for the guys because they have to wear a jacket and tie and they're not allowed to take the jacket off unless the royalty in the box takes their jacket off first. That's the protocol.'

Two-day music event proposed to save Cambridge Folk Festival
One of the country's oldest folk festivals has confirmed it will return next year after this year's hiatus, but the event is set to only last two days. Cambridge City councillors will consider the scaled-down schedule as part of proposals for Cambridge Folk Festival to try to make it more sustainable and financially proposed event at Cherry Hinton Hall would have two medium-sized stages, as well as more basic camping, to "significantly reduce the infrastructure costs".The festival lost £320,000 in 2024, council officers said. Cambridge City Council has been reviewing the future of the event, which would have celebrated its 60th anniversary this it has organised free and ticketed Folk in the City events at the same venue this Folk Festival began in 1965 and in the past has seen performances from international stars such as Van Morrison, Billy Bragg and Sinead O' local authority said Cherry Hinton Hall would remain the anchor hoped the new format would "protect" the festival while making it "more inclusive and affordable" to more people across different parts of stars both locally and nationally would still be council officers' review indicated it would have to find £500,000 to support the festival in its current form, at a time it is already having to find annual savings of £11.5m. Labour's Antoinette Nestor, cabinet member for culture, economy and skills, said "protecting its legacy" was essential, adding: "We need to address the changes in audience behaviour – such as the decline in people wanting to pay for weekend camping tickets – and ensure the festival returns in a financially-resilient way".But Lib Dem leader Tim Bick was less happy, and said Labour had not encouraged enough views on the matter. He said in a statement: "The in-depth review that they've published doesn't inspire confidence. "It highlights a big weakness in the way the festival has been marketed and a leadership short on vision."He said the line-up, a calendar clash with Latitude festival and inflation had impacted sales this will consider the new proposals on 15 July.

‘I gave Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson!' Anna Lapwood on her classical mashups – and her all-night Prom
At midnight, at least one night a week, Anna Lapwood ascends the stairs to the Royal Albert Hall's organ loft and climbs on to its bench. Safe in the knowledge that the audience for that evening's show have all dispersed, she starts playing the venue's enormous Henry Willis organ, all 10,000 pipes of it. Often, she's still going at five or six in the morning. 'It's the only downtime you get to practise,' she says. Occasionally, some celebrity from an aftershow party will be lured by her playing. 'It's how I met Benedict Cumberbatch,' she says with a laugh. 'And there was the time I gave Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson, after that live orchestral screening of Top Gun: Maverick. And Ludovico Einaudi, who came up and improvised something with me. And the band Wet Leg, who had a go on the organ. Sometimes it's curious cleaners or security staff who'll come up and chat and want to have a play. It's a lovely vibe.' Lapwood's followers on social media – including more than 1 million on Instagram and 1.2 million on TikTok – have long wanted to witness her in this late-night environment. Now, finally, she has found a way to make it happen. Next month, Lapwood will curate the first all-night Prom in over 40 years. 'It will be an explosion of energy. I'll be conducting a choir and playing the organ, but there will also be a whole load of other artists, like the pianist Hayato Sumino, or the fantastic Norwegian ensemble Barokksolistene – people in the Arctic know about performing during the night!' It's tempting to picture this Prom, which will run from 11pm until 7am, as a giant chill-out room. Not at all, says Lapwood. 'I hope that no one will be asleep!' she exclaims. 'And I hope people won't be dipping in and out. There will be two breaks. We're trying to make sure that there are rest areas – not sleeping areas! – and lots of coffee and snacks. The idea is that people will settle in, stay awake and enjoy all of it.' The event kicks off the next stage in Lapwood's sensational career. Still only 29, she has become the hottest property in classical music: a media-friendly, globally popular ambassador for her instrument and the genre. We meet in the 350-year-old chapel at Pembroke College, Cambridge, designed by Christopher Wren, which has been Lapwood's workplace since 2016 when, aged 21, she became the youngest ever director of music at an Oxbridge college. It's where she taught, rehearsed with choirs, led evensong and supervised two organ scholars. But the role became increasingly difficult to maintain in the light of her other commitments, which is why she made the 'gut-wrenching' decision to leave this summer. 'I've been doing admin on planes, marking homework while travelling to gigs, racing back from recording sessions to conduct choirs. And it's difficult for me to tell my students that they need to have a healthy work/life balance when they see me operating like this.' It leaves Lapwood free to pursue other ambitions. As well as her contract with Sony Records and her new role as associate director at the Albert Hall, she has a packed concert schedule over the next two years, including another recital at LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall (her first was a sell-out), a collaboration with Jonny Greenwood in Manchester (another all-nighter next February) and concerts everywhere from Bristol to Budapest, Nuremberg to New York. 'Venues used to want a confirmed setlist years in advance. I've tried to encourage more flexibility. I now just say 'programme includes' and list a couple of works – it's important that I'm able to play the music that I'm currently excited about, and get a bit spontaneous.' One noticeable feature of Lapwood's concerts is that, unlike most conductors or soloists, she talks to her audiences. Why does she do this? 'Partly because I'm stuck up in the organ loft, and I need to connect with people. Mainly, I want to break people into classical music, and it's essential to provide some sort of context and convey my enthusiasm. But every performer does things differently. Some conductors feel it's a distraction. It's a personal choice.' Last year Lapwood was at the centre of a mini furore for saying she welcomed people filming her concerts and uploading footage to social media. 'Again, It has to be the choice of the performer,' she says. 'Going on to the stage requires a lot of bravery, and you need to feel comfortable. Some people hate being filmed. I like it.' That hasn't always been the case. 'There was a time when I felt that I was always having to prove myself, a constant fear I'd mess up,' she admits. 'The main problem was that I was playing an entirely classical programme, the likes of Bach and Widor and Messiaen. Much as I love all those composers, I didn't want to play just them. It's only since I've started incorporating my own transcriptions of film scores into my sets that I have started to genuinely enjoy playing live.' Soundtracks have become a crucial part of Lapwood's repertoire. 'I was always acutely aware of how soundtracks could affect your emotional state. I found myself rewinding DVDs and transcribing scores, note for note, working out why they moved me. Now I've started turning those transcriptions into organ arrangements. You have to follow what makes your heart sing.' She has recorded and performed film themes by John Powell, Rachel Portman and, in particular, Hans Zimmer, and wants to do more by the likes of James Newton Howard, Harry Gregson-Williams and Nainita Desai. 'It was always my ambition to write music for film. I'd love to write a soundtrack for the organ, because it's never been done, and it's such a versatile instrument.' Lapwood's most recent album, Firedove, mixes many of her enthusiasms. It opens with her arrangement of Alan Menken's theme from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame and ends with two pieces by real-life organists at Notre Dame de Paris: a fiendish scherzo by Louis Vierne and preludes and fugues by Maurice Duruflé. There are modern minimalist pieces she has commissioned by Poppy Ackroyd, Hania Rani and Ola Gjeilo; a touch of Zimmer, a hymnal choral arrangement of a Bob Dylan song and a bombastic mashup of Robbie Williams's Angels and Widor's Toccata. 'It sounds like I've arranged it thematically, but it's literally just a load of music that I'm excited by, held together by the thread of the organ sound.' Lapwood has no composing credits on any of her eight albums to date, something she wants to rectify. 'My composing brain is slowly waking up,' she says. 'I'm just getting comfortable enough to start writing for the organ. I loved composing when I was little, but then I got a low grade in a harmony and counterpoint exam and was told I couldn't continue composition. Which is nonsense!' Instead the young Lapwood put all her efforts into learning as many instruments as she could get her hands on. By the age of 18 she had reached grade-eight standard on the piano, violin, viola, harp and organ, and taught herself a dozen other instruments. 'I'd hear my older brother playing the flute and I'd nick his instrument and his tuition book. I'd buy cheap instruments from junk shops – guitars, cornets, drum kits – and learn from beginners books. It's like languages. The more you learn, the easier each one gets.' So immersed was she in mastering instruments that she didn't have much time to listen to music – something surprisingly common among musical prodigies. 'Schoolfriends found it hilarious that I couldn't tell the difference between Justin Bieber and Beyoncé,' she laughs. 'It was like I lived under a rock.' She remembers sharing the musical tastes of her father, a vicar turned teacher who would listen to evangelical hymns and 'quite bland popular classics' by the likes of Aled Jones and violinist Vanessa-Mae. 'It's why I never sneer at anyone's musical tastes,' she says. 'When I started working with choirs, people were like, 'How could you not know these big hits of the choral world?' But every area of music has its own smash hits, and all musicians have their blindspots.' Lapwood's blindspots have become a running joke on the Radio 4 cross-genre music show Add to Playlist, on which she is a frequent guest. She often admits to never having heard anything by the likes of, say, Adele, Justin Timberlake, the Rolling Stones or Keith Jarrett. She confesses that, in the past, she has been guilty of being musically incurious. She even admits she has not heard any of Dudley Moore's jazz recordings, despite being one of his successors as an organ scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, and having her name listed beneath his on a plaque in the chapel's organ loft. 'Sometimes, the amount of music I need to deal with just for work is exhausting,' she says. 'You can't listen to everything.' She relaxes, she says, by putting on the same Melody Gardot playlist she has listened to for years, and by watching trash TV like Australian Masterchef, or by cooking the same dishes day after day ('I'm currently in a shakshuka phase'). 'It is easy to get stuck in a rut, which is why I love being forced into learning about new areas of music.' Often this happens in public, such as when she guested on the organ with the electronica outfit Bonobo, or performed in a Ministry of Sound concert – both went viral. 'You suddenly learn about a new sound world, and appreciate different technical skills. All these musical barriers – barriers that I had enforced on myself – disappear. It's like, for some reason, my parents never cooked bacon. I went through my childhood thinking I'd hate bacon. Then, at university, I had a bacon sandwich, which was a eureka moment! It's why I'm increasingly open to all types of music.' Firedove by Anna Lapwood is out now on Sony Classical. Her new single, An Irish Blessing, with the Pembroke College Chapel Choir, will be released on 1 August. The late-night BBC Prom, From Dark Till Dawn, is at the Royal Albert Hall, London, from 11pm on 8 August
