Myleene Klass drew attention as she left the Smooth Radio studios in London on Saturday wearing a bold red midi dress and no bra, and separately defended her children against "nepo baby" accusations in an interview with the Daily Mail.

The 47-year-old presenter wore a plunging, form-fitting midi dress, strappy nude heels and carried a matching Chanel handbag as she left the radio studios. Her brunette hair was styled in a blow-dry and she completed the look with red lipstick.

In an interview published by the Daily Mail, Klass pushed back against suggestions that her children are "nepo babies," a shorthand term used in recent cultural discussions about the advantages enjoyed by children of famous parents. She said her daughters Ava, 18, and Hero, 14, have developed talents through effort and will not rely on her name for their livelihoods. Klass also has a six-year-old son, Apollo, with her fiancé, Simon.

Klass told the Daily Mail that Ava and Hero "will never have to live off my name" and that they "will always make money," adding that she has provided them with the tools to succeed. The remarks were presented as part of a wider conversation about celebrity parenting and opportunities in the creative industries.

Klass rose to public attention as a member of the pop group Hear'Say and has since worked as a television and radio presenter and musician. In recent years she has maintained a public profile through media appearances and her role at Smooth Radio.

The "nepo baby" debate has featured numerous high-profile examples and commentary across entertainment and social media, prompting discussion about access, mentorship and merit in arts and media careers. Klass's comments add to an ongoing conversation about how established figures and their families navigate professional opportunities and public scrutiny.

Klass's appearance on Saturday comes amid her continued presence in broadcast media and ongoing public interest in the careers of celebrity offspring. She has previously spoken about balancing work and parenting and about encouraging her children to develop skills and pursue their interests independently.

Representatives for Klass did not immediately respond to requests for further comment beyond the published interview.
