Andrea Corr, 50, stuns in tiny black dress at BST after flight drama
Andrea Corr, 50, looked incredible in a little black dress at the BST festival – just days after her family’s flight drama.
The Corrs star showed off her ageless beauty in a stylish dress as she performed to fans in the sunshine at Hyde Park on Sunday. Andrea looked sensational in a tiny dress with red frills at the front.
She showed off her toned legs with a thigh-split as she glammed up for the American Express event where the band warmed up for country legend Shania Twain. Her efforts did not go unnoticed as fans flocked to Twitter to comment on how good she, and the band of siblings, looked.

One wrote: “The Corrs are a stupendously beautiful family.” A second chimed in: “The Corrs. Very much on form.” A third added: “Magnificent.” Their triumph at the BST festival came after a bumpy start following plane drama.
Sharon Corr claimed she was “humiliated” after Ryanair allegedly refused to let her board a flight back to Ireland. The singer-songwriter, 54, had planned to fly from Madrid to Dublin for rehearsals ahead of The Corrs’ upcoming tour, but says she was turned away because she had her violin with her when trying to board her flight.
After spending seven hours at the airport, Sharon claimed she was forced to return home. In a social media post, she called out Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary, saying: “Today I was booked on a Ryanair flight. I got up at 6 in the morning. I was not allowed on the flight because I had my violin.
“I was in the airport for 7 hours. I had to return home after searching for my checked in bags. Humiliated, angry, then crying as only a good woman can do. Why was I going to Dublin? My home turf, to rehearse, to go on tour! I’m beyond disappointed. Michael O’Leary shame on you.”
According to the Ryanair website, passengers are allowed to bring musical instruments onboard as long as they fit within the cabin bag allowance. Their rules state: “You can carry any music equipment with you onboard as long as it fits within your Cabin Bag allowance.
“For smaller music equipment like guitars or violins that exceed your cabin baggage dimensions, you can opt to pay an extra seat fare for it. To do this, you must purchase an extra flight ticket and seat.”
However, a spokesperson for the airline claimed that Sharon’s violin exceeded the cabin bag dimensions. “This passenger was not refused travel from Madrid to Dublin,” they shared.
“This passenger’s violin exceeded the cabin bag dimensions permitted for her flight, and therefore was required to pay a standard gate baggage fee to place it in the hold of the aircraft. This passenger refused to pay the standard fee and instead chose not to travel on this flight.”
