Katherine Jenkins is leggy in a black cocktail dress as she celebrates the launch of her own premium female-forward gin, Cygnet
Katherine Jenkins looked glamorous for the launch of her own female-forward premium gin called Cygnet.
The 42-year-old opera singer has embraced a whole new venture and is the first female founder of a famous gin made just 10km from her birthplace.
Katherine celebrated the release of the ghost by throwing a party at the Rosewood Hotel in London on Thursday night.
The Welsh beauty looked stunning as she showed off her tanned legs in a black cocktail dress that had sheer criss-cross detailing on the sleeves and neckline.
Upping her height with black strappy sandals, Katherine looked ready to party as she proudly displayed the gin at the bar.

Toast: The opera singer, 42, has embraced an entirely new venture and is the first female founder of a celebrity gin made just six miles from her birthplace
The two spirits – Cygnet Welsh Dry Gin and Cygnet 22 Gin – cost between £35 and £47.50, with Katherine’s husband Andrew Levitas helping with product design on board.
Andrew has helped develop products such as Peloton and Rock Star Energy Drinks.
Speaking of her new business, Katherine said: “Cygnet combines the finest local botanicals with pure Welsh water and is surrounded by nature and the beauty of the glens, lots of ‘Hwyl!’ (an ecstatic sense of inspiration unique to Wales).
“I’ve also included my ‘secret ingredient’ in Cygnet 22, manuka honey, which I use to condition my voice. All of this results in an ultra-premium gin that’s so smooth you can drink it neat.”
As a founder, Katherine added that she’s passionate about speaking from woman to woman.
Tired of male spirit products, she wanted to break with the mold and create a “best in glass” gin for the sisterhood of gin lovers.
While Katherine is busy breaking into the alcohol industry, she’s also wowing fans with her stunning singing.
The singer received a thunderous round of applause for her performance ahead of last month’s Six Nations game between England and Wales in Cardiff.

Katherine wore a Welsh rugby shirt for the event which saw Wales lose to their rivals 10-20 at Principality Stadium.
She wore her blonde tresses in loose waves as she enjoyed singing her heart out for the large crowd.
Ahead of her star turn at the stadium, she Instagrammed a picture of the rugby shirt with her name on the back and wrote: “It’s been a while.”
She added: “I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I first sang for the Wales team at the stadium.
“It was a big moment for me back then and played such a pivotal role in launching my career.”
Her performance formed part of the pre-game entertainment and came after the choirs of Côr Meibion Pendyrus sang in Tylorstown.
The group was joined by the Regimental Band Corps of Drums of the Royal Welsh.
