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

The musician, 72, cut a dapper figure as he joined the director, 70, 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 floaty white gown as she accepted the award for her film Posso Entrare? An Ode to Naples.

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

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

The film detailed Trudie and Sting's passion for Italy, with the actress discussing her history with the country at the ceremony, 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 kids was born near Pisa, we spent years looking for a home for us all. Italy has always been incredibly kind to us.

'Since the 1980s when I made films here in Rome at Cinecittà, then Sting wrote one of his most emotional albums near Pisa the year after his parents died, and at the same time I gave birth to one of our kids, Italy has a special place in our hearts for many reasons.'  

Sting and Trudie are parents to four children, Mickey, 40, Jake, 39, Eliot, 33, and Giacomo, 28, while The Police frontman also shares son Joe, 47, and daughter Fuschia, 42, with ex Frances Tomelty.

Detailing how the family juggles their busy work schedules, she said they are 'proud' of them.

She said: 'They appreciate that we are busy and fulfilled. The kids all have their own paths and careers and they've got good work ethics, so we're proud of them for that.'

The outing comes after the couple attended the Ivor Novello Awards, where Sting was awarded with a Fellowship - the highest honour the Academy bestows.

Speaking on the carpet, the British rocker said he 'loves' the Ivor's Academy and was 'delighted' to be 'granted this wonderful honour'.

He said: 'The last time I was here I got a lifetime achievement award which I thought was a bit premature...'

'But the fellowship was obviously beyond lifetime and it sounds a bit like Lord Of The Rings, but I think there are more duties attached to a fellowship.'

'The Ivors protect the rights of songwriters - that's one of the things they do, not just established songwriters like me, but up-and-coming songwriters.

'It is also a major export of Britain, our songwriting, so they need protecting, so I am 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.

He launched a solo career in 1985.
