Sting puts on a loved-up display with his wife Trudie Styler as she is honoured with a documentary prize at the Ischia Global Film Festival

Sting looked every inch the proud husband as he supported his wife Trudie Styler at the Ischia Global Film Festival on Monday.

The 72-year-old musician looked handsome as he joined the 70-year-old director on the red carpet before she was honoured with the Global Docu Of The Year Award.

Trudie, who married Sting in 1992, exuded elegance in a flowing white dress as she accepted the award for her film Posso Entrare? An Ode to Naples.

The elegant ensemble featured a round neckline, semi-sheer sleeves with a floral embellishment and a flared skirt.

Trudie accessorised her look with a simple diamond necklace and a pair of rose gold hoop earrings as she proudly accepted the award.

The film chronicled Trudie and Sting’s passion for Italy, with the actress discussing her history with the country during an interview with PEOPLE.

She said: ‘Sting and I fell in love with Italy many years ago – so much so that after one of our children was born near Pisa, we spent years looking for a home for us all. Italy has always been incredibly kind to us.

‘Since the 80s, when I made films here in Rome at Cinecittà, when Sting wrote one of his most emotional albums near Pisa, a year after his parents died, and when I gave birth to one of our children, Italy has had a special place in our hearts for many reasons.’

Sting and Trudie have four children: Mickey, 40, Jake, 39, Eliot, 33, and Giacomo, 28, while the Police frontman also has son Joe, 47, and daughter Fuschia, 42, with his ex Frances Tomelty.

She spoke about how the family juggles their busy work schedules and said they are “proud” of them.

She said: ‘They appreciate that we are busy and fulfilled. The children all have their own paths and careers and they have a good work ethic, so we are proud of them for that.’

The outing comes after the couple attended the Ivor Novello Awards, where Sting was awarded a Fellowship – the highest honour bestowed by the Academy.

During his speech on stage, the British rocker said he thinks the Ivor’s Academy is “amazing” and that he was “delighted” to have “this wonderful honour”.

He said, ‘The last time I was here I got a Lifetime Achievement Award, but I thought that was a bit premature…’

“But the society clearly lasted longer than a lifetime, and it sounds a bit like Lord of the Rings, but I think there are more duties that come with a society.”

‘The Ivors protect the rights of songwriters. That’s one of the things they do, not just for established songwriters like me, but for emerging songwriters as well.

‘Our songwriting is also a major export for Britain, so it needs to be protected, so I’m very proud to be part of this organisation.’

Sting was the frontman, songwriter and bassist for the new wave band The Police from 1977 until their breakup in 1986.

In 1985 he started a solo career.
