Veteran actress Jane Seymour made a striking appearance on Thursday evening, captivating onlookers at a prestigious New York City charity event. The English star, who hails from Uxbridge, looked absolutely radiant as she stepped out in a daring cherry red gown that commanded attention on the red carpet.
A Fashion Statement with Heart
The 74-year-old screen icon chose an unusual yet elegant ensemble for the American Heart Association Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection Concert. Her remarkable gown featured a distinctive asymmetrical neckline complemented by a single sleeve that extended into a shiny glove, creating a sophisticated and modern silhouette.
Seymour wore her signature blonde and red hair down in soft waves, accessorising with exquisite diamond drop earrings that perfectly matched a delicate bracelet. The former Bond girl's appearance at Jazz at the Lincoln Center in New York City highlighted her timeless beauty and fashion sense.
Romantic Birthday Celebrations Ahead
During the event, Seymour shared exciting personal news with The Daily Mail about her upcoming milestone birthday. The actress revealed she will celebrate turning 75 next month with her boyfriend of two years, Dr John Zambetti, who works as an emergency room physician and musician.
'I'm actually going away tomorrow to Mustique and St. Barts with my boyfriend,' the Dr Quinn Medicine Woman star enthusiastically disclosed. 'It's both of our birthdays in a week and a half, so we're going to give ourselves a lovely break in the sunshine.'
Seymour's birthday falls on February 15th, the day after Valentine's Day, making for a particularly romantic celebration period. When asked about keeping the spark alive in her relationship with the 76-year-old doctor, she simply responded, 'Just I love him.'

She outlined her health regimen, explaining 'I exercise, I eat healthy, I sleep, I try not to stress too much. So I pay attention to it. It's very important. It's the number one cause of death for women.' Her appearance at the heart health fundraiser clearly reflected her personal commitment to the cause.
A Thriving Career with No Signs of Slowing
Despite approaching her 75th birthday, Seymour reported being busier than ever professionally. 'I don't think I've ever had as much work as I have right now,' she declared, detailing an impressive schedule of upcoming projects.
