Emma Weymouth turned heads in a racy red dress as she arrived in New York City for an appearance on a major US show on Wednesday. The Marchioness of Bath, 40, looked incredible in the dazzling sequined number that featured spaghetti straps and a floral embellishment. She completed her look by pulling her hair back into a sleek high ponytail and adding a pair of heels.
TV Appearance and New Show
Emma is set to appear on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to discuss the new season of Ladies of London. She has joined the cast of the rebooted Hayu show, which follows socialites on the London scene, alongside the mother of Princess Beatrice's stepson, Dara Huang, and former Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli.
Personal Life and Family
She is married to Ceawlin Thynn, 8th Marquess of Bath. They share two children together: sons John Alexander Ladi Thynn, 12, and Henry Richard Isaac Thynn, 10. On her wedding day, Emma became the first black marchioness in British history. Thynn was born and raised in South Kensington, London, one of the most posh areas in the city, currently home to David and Victoria Beckham, designer Stella McCartney, and Sir Richard Branson, among others.
Career and Achievements
The glamorous Marchioness of Bath has had an incredible career, including modeling for Dolce & Gabbana and becoming the brand ambassador for Fiorucci in 2017. She is also a contributing editor at British Vogue and served as the Social Editor at Large for Hello! Magazine in 2024. Thynn is the daughter of Nigerian oil magnate Oladipo Jadesimi and former socialite Suzanna McQuiston.
Reflections on Her Role
Speaking on Ladies of London, Emma said: 'The press commented heavily on the fact that I was going to become the first woman of colour to hold this title, and I acknowledge the fact that... the only woman of colour in this position is me, still to this day.' Emma was met with positive comments from her castmates, with Mark-Francis saying of her: 'Emma is the embodiment of the modern aristocrat. She's cool, she's trendy, but at the same time, she holds, with great grace, the weight of being one of Britain's most important aristocrats.'
Speaking in November 2020, she said she doesn't want her skin colour to be a 'defining characteristic'. The socialite said she is a 'reluctant role model' after becoming Britain's first black marchioness. Emma starred on the cover of Tatler's January 2021 issue and opened up about her family's wildly ambitious plans for Longleat, their Wiltshire estate, and her surrogacy journey. While Emma, the daughter of a Nigerian oil tycoon, is deeply respectful of her new title, she is a reluctant role model, according to the society magazine. 'Where I have been discussed in a positive light, as positive change, I'm grateful for being included in the conversation,' she said. 'I see my role as a practical thing: as a wife, mother and someone with a responsibility to maintain this incredible estate.' She continued, 'I aspire to a future where [my skin colour] is not a defining characteristic.'
