Kate Beckinsale attends King’s gala event after sparking concern over hospital admission

British actress Kate Beckinsale has attended a gala event on behalf of the King’s charity following her health issues.

In March, the Underworld star, 50, posted a selection of now-deleted photos on social media from a hospital bed and did not disclose the reason for her stay in the medical facility.

On Thursday, the Van Helsing actress was back in the limelight and posed for photos at the King’s Trust Global Gala at Casa Cipriani in New York.

At the event, Beckinsale wore one of her signature hair bows and paired a white, ruffled, one-shoulder organza gown with giant, white, platformed heels and dangly earrings.

The sheer dress was made up of several layers of fabric which draped across one side of her body, the other half of the dress featured a slit that showed off her leg.

Last month, Beckinsale shared images of herself wearing a T-shirt with the words “tummy troubles survivor” emblazed across it a week after she posted and then deleted teary snaps from a hospital bed.

The actress had been suffering from an undisclosed illness over the past month, and had avoided responding to her followers' questions about her condition.

The Pearl Harbour star - who opened up on her heartbreak over the death of her beloved stepfather Roy Battersby in January - first shared that she was having health issues on March 11.

She then sparked further concern when fans noticed that she had completely wiped her Instagram page of evidence of her recent hospital stay.

In the post, Beckinsale could be seen sitting on a bed sporting the T-shirt while hanging out with her Pomeranian pet dog named Myf, who is wearing tiny prosthetic human hands on its front paws.

She didn’t elaborate further, simply opting for an arm muscles and white heart emoji in the accompanying caption.

Her 5.6 million followers were delighted to see her at home recovering after her ordeal as they offered their well wishes in the comments.
