AceShowbiz - Coleen Rooney, 38, made headlines recently, not just for her stunning outfit but also for an almost comical stumbling incident. Attending the VIP launch of the Louis restaurant in Manchester with her friends on Thursday, September 12, the mother-of-four sported a sleek black dress with a beige lace top, paired with a matching blazer and black heels. Adding a touch of elegance, she accessorized her outfit with a black clutch and kept her brunette locks pulled up in an updo, compounding her look with light makeup. Despite her fabulous appearance, Coleen nearly toppled when her heel got stuck, but a friend was quick to help her regain her balance.
The event was a star-studded affair with other notable attendees like Molly Moorish-Gallagher, daughter of Liam Gallagher and Lisa Moorish, and "Love Island" star Grace Jackson. Molly wore a black mini dress under a matching coat, while Grace flaunted her figure in a black cut-out dress with sheer details.
However, Coleen's glamorous night out wasn't the only thing drawing attention. Recently, it was reported that Coleen's legal battle with Rebekah Vardy has taken a financial toll on the latter. The infamous "Wagatha Christie" libel case, where Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to The Sun, was resolved in Coleen's favor. In 2022, a judge ruled that Coleen's allegations were substantially true, calling Rebekah an "unreliable witness." As a result, Rebekah has been ordered to pay £1.5 million towards Coleen's legal fees.
The financial stress has hit Rebekah and her husband Jamie Vardy hard. Two of their companies, V9 Academy Limited and BKYV Media Limited, have reported significant debts. Nevertheless, their third enterprise, V9 Media Limited, has shown a healthier outlook, recording a profit of £260,000. To potentially mitigate future financial burdens, Rebekah has established a new company, Wagatha Christie International Limited, focusing on media representation services.
The fallout from the contentious trial isn't over yet. In a recent hearing, a senior judge urged both legal teams to reach an agreement regarding the legal costs, warning that the dispute could be prolonged if not settled. Another hearing on this matter is scheduled for October if both parties fail to concur.
While Coleen's night out presented a stylish distraction, the ongoing legal saga with Rebekah Vardy serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny celebrities often face, both in their glamorous and legal entanglements.
