Sophie Turner looked as glamorous as ever as she posed up a storm for a new photoshoot and video with drinks brand St-Germain.
The actress, 29, has returned as the face of the elderflower liqueur for a show-stopping new summer campaign and dazzled in the stunning imagery.
Sophie oozed elegance in a stylish ensemble worth over £1,450 as she channelled French Riviera style after the glitz and glamour of Cannes Film Festival.
She showed off her incredible figure in a fitted white linen two-piece from Reformation, made up of a vest top and pleated skirt, which costs £298.
Styled by Emma Jade Morrison, the Game Of Thrones star added a few extra inches to her height in a pair of £695 mule heels from Manolo Blahnik.

She let her understated outfit do all the talking as she kept her accessories minimal and shielded her eyes with £460 shades from Khaite x Oliver Peoples.
Sophie posed up a storm in a conservatory for a series of gorgeous snaps before she lounged on a deckchair outside and soaked up the rays.
She sipped on St-Germain's Hugo Spritz - made with its elderflower liqueur, Prosecco and soda water - as she advertised the brand's summery cocktail.
Sophie has returned as the face of the brand and her rom-com inspired advertising video, shot in the south of France, serves as a sequel to her popular last campaign.
The video showed Sophie eagerly awaiting the arrival of a mystery man, prompting her whip up an array of summery cocktails before ordering in an easy takeaway.
Sophie said of the collaboration: 'I'm thrilled to continue my partnership with St-Germain, a brand that not only embodies my philosophy of embracing the lighter side of life, but also makes me look pretty good behind a bar.
'I'm excited to finally show off my bartending skills in this summer's sequel and, whilst I might not be a chef, when it comes to making the perfect drink, I've definitely found my signature – the St-Germain Hugo Spritz.'
St-Germain will launch the campaign with events at some of the world's most vibrant events and hotspots, from London's rooftop bars to St. Tropez and the Amalfi Coast.

Sophie's latest venture comes after she hinted at where she stands with her ex-husband Joe Jonas, less than two years after their contentious separation.
The couple tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding in 2019 and welcomed two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, before splitting in September 2023.
After Joe filed for divorce, they were plunged into a rancorous legal battle that played out in the headlines, before they reached a settlement one year later.
And earlier this week, in an Instagram post, Sophie hinted she is now on good terms with Joe by showing support for her ex-husband's new album.
She shared an image of his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, on her Instagram Stories on Saturday.
She captioned it, 'Go go @joejonas,' as she gushed over the new album, which officially dropped on Friday, May 23.
Last week, Joe, 35, gave some insight into what he feels was the scariest part of getting divorced while speaking on a TalkShopLive.
He talked about the inspiration behind the track Only Love from his album Music For People Who Believe In Love.
'I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again,' he recalled.
'It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was.'
Joe remembered that someone he was dating - and whom he did not name - had simply told him, 'Well, it's only love.
'I was like, ''Well, when you put it that way…'' So we wrote a song about it. Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too.'
'But it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there,' he added.
Sophie and Joe began dating in 2016 and got engaged in October 2017 before tying the knot on May 1, 2019, in Las Vegas.
In 2023, it was revealed that Joe and Sophie had split before their divorce was finalised in September 2024.
Sophie, who has since moved back to the UK, previously told Harper's Bazaar of their split: 'We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.'
Speaking to British Vogue, Sophie also opened up about having a public divorce, describing it as 'the worst few days of my life'.
Amid their split, the two stars underwent a custody battle over their daughters and had disagreements over where their children would reside full-time.
Sophie has since been romantically linked to Peregrine Pearson, although the pair have recently been embroiled in split speculation.
Joe also went on to .

PSG and Inter Milan face off in the Champions League final

Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan go head-to-head in the Champions League final in Munich on Saturday. European club soccer's biggest prize is at stake between two teams that have felt the pain of falling at the last hurdle in recent years. Inter was a losing finalist against Manchester City in 2023 and PSG lost in its only final against Bayern Munich in 2020. After spending billions of dollars and signing some of the sport's greatest players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, PSG is still waiting to win its first Champions League title. Those superstars have now departed, but coach Luis Enrique has assembled one of the most exciting squads in Europe, with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia filling the void left by that trio. Enrique is aiming to win the competition for the second time as a coach, having lifted it with Barcelona in 2015, and would become the seventh coach to win the trophy with different teams. 'The motivation for me is to win the Champions League title for the first time for PSG,' he said. 'That is the gift I want to give the people, the club, the city.' Inter was looking for a treble just over a month ago, but is now left with the Champions League as its only possible trophy. It lost the Italian title by a point and was knocked out of the Italian Cup in the semifinals. 'These players in these four years did a lot — won a lot and lost sometimes. It happens. But we all gave our all, everyone. We are proud to be Inter," coach Simone Inzaghi said. 'I dreamed of playing the Champions League final. I didn't do it as a player, but thanks to this group of players I've been in two finals as a head coach.' Inter has won the Champions League or European Cup on three occasions, most recently in 2010. When does the Champions League final begin? The match at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT). ___ ___

‘Le Slap' talks to the dark truth at the core of Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron's marriage

Was it just 'joking around', or, as the official party line claims, a 'moment of closeness' between the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte, that set tongues wagging around the world this week? After a video of Brigitte Macron, 72, appearing to shove her 47-year-old husband in the face went viral on Monday, 'Le Slap' – or ' Slapgate' as it quickly became known – went viral. Probably because it didn't look as though the pair were 'decompressing one last time' before beginning their diplomatic visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, as a source desperately claimed. Initially, conspiracy theorists claimed that the footage of the heated row was part of a plot to discredit the president, and had come straight from the Kremlin. In a world of AI-generated videos, where a pope can be seen wearing a Balenciaga coat and Macron can be spied dancing to 1980s hit song 'Voyage Voyage' by French singer Desireless in a video he once made himself to make a point about deepfakes, it seemed it was something to consider. Certainly, Macron's first reaction was to condemn the videos of him, saying the footage had been manipulated by people he described as 'crackpots'. He referred to other incidents, including the images shot on a train to Kyiv, in which some accounts falsely claimed he could be seen sharing cocaine. For the rest of us, though, this incident looked different, and it felt as though the president was putting on quite the show in an attempt to dismiss the furore. The Macrons put on a united front, yet there was ultimately no avoiding their frustration as media attention grew: by the end of the week, Macron admitted that the video showing the altercation had become what he called 'some kind of planetary catastrophe' (a slight exaggeration). But regardless of how the Macrons tried to frame the incident, it was a sharp-eyed glimpse into the couple's relationship; an indication of underlying tension between them coming to the surface. Perhaps it's just the tip of the iceberg. Because it's no secret – though it is often too easily brushed off, or forgotten – that at the heart of the Macrons' relationship lies an ethical dilemma at best; a gross abuse of power at worst. The couple met when Brigitte Trogneux was 39 and Emmanuel was just 15. Brigitte was already married to banker André Auzière, and a mother of three children – Sebastien, Laurence, and Tiphaine. In fact, one of her daughters, Laurence, was in the same class as the boy her mother would eventually marry, at La Providence High School, a Catholic secondary school in Amiens. Emmanuel was 'intellectually gifted' and 'precocious' as a teenager, and he and his future wife bonded over literature and theatre, Brigitte told Paris Match during an interview in 2017. The two of them wrote a play together; she later recalled, during the time she spent with him, having a 'feeling I was working with Mozart'. 'The writing became an excuse,' she said. 'I felt that we had always known each other.' Despite their 'bond' remaining supposedly platonic, by the following year, Emmanuel's parents were removing him from the school, concerned after finding out about the relationship through a family friend. 'We just couldn't believe it,' his mother, Francoise Nogues-Macron, told Anne Fulda, author of the book Emmanuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man. 'What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte, we couldn't just say, 'That's great'.' Physically separating the pair didn't work – by the time the French president was 17, he was already declaring that he would marry Brigitte one day. Later, he would write in his 2016 book, Révolution, that he was captivated by her intelligence and charisma. 'I resisted for a long time, but love is stronger than conventions,' he told Elle magazine in 2020. The thing is, it was hardly something as simple as 'conventions' that made their relationship objectionable – the exact year they met, either 1993 or 1994, has reportedly never been confirmed, in what is thought by some to be an effort to obscure legal 'complications' or questions that might be raised, since Emmanuel was just a child. While Brigitte has always insisted that they only fell in love after he was 15 (which is the age of consent in France), she risked serving three years in prison, since the law bans sexual relationships between teachers and pupils under 18. Regardless of the justifications, then, she knew it was wrong. The couple didn't marry until years later, in October 2007, when Emmanuel was 29 and Brigitte was 54, but the foundations of their relationship were set: a narrative of manipulation, societal ostracism, and a profound imbalance of power that has shaped their personal and political lives ever since. Their age gap is more than just a number – it's a gap that would rarely, if ever, go without objection if it were between an older man and a teenage girl. Brigitte was also in a position of power, a teacher – an authority figure who was responsible for a vulnerable and impressionable adolescent. At their wedding, Emmanuel acknowledged the obvious peculiarity, saying, 'We're not a normal couple, but we are a couple.' Initially, they faced a backlash to their unusual relationship. According to Maëlle Brun, who wrote an unauthorised biography of Brigitte Macron, there were repercussions of sorts; they were ostracised, anonymous letters were sent to their families, and there were even instances of spitting on their doorstep. The friends that Brigitte had made through her first marriage disappeared – yet the Macrons' relationship apparently flourished. In the years since, as Emmanuel charted his rise to the top of French politics, Brigitte has been described as a 'shadow power' at his side. She is believed to be an influential figure in his career; there have been reports of her becoming involved in his ministerial duties and presidential campaigns, despite grumbling over the impropriety of this – and perceived conflicts of interest – among the public. For years, despite the doubts that have surrounded their relationship because of how it began, they've been good at keeping up appearances in front of the camera. But this week's footage talks to the tension at the core of their marriage: an imbalance of power that they have seemingly never escaped. Lip-reading experts claimed that, in the moments after the 'slap' – which, really, looked more like a shove in the face – Brigitte muttered, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' as her husband offered his arm – in English, 'Stay away, you loser.' A funny joke, as Emmanuel claims? It seems unlikely. A clearer angle, perhaps, on the dark heart of a controversial relationship – one that has left an indelible mark on the couple's lives and careers. Though it is often portrayed as a romantic saga, the story of the Macrons is layered with complexities, and begs for scrutiny. In the golden salons of the Élysée, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron may project the defiant image of a couple who triumphed against the odds and have defied scandal and stigma. But beyond the veneer of fairytale romance lies something that is not just more complex, but far more uncomfortable: a relationship that began in the blurred margins of power and abuse, with this week's events leaving many wondering if it remains there.

Good sunglasses are worth the investment. Here's where to start (from £50)

There is no accessory that strikes the balance between glamour and utility quite as well as a pair of sunglasses. While good frames can last a lifetime (as long as you don't leave them on the bus), updating with a new style will enhance all your sunny-day looks. The first question is which kind to go for: aviators, cat's-eyes, outsize, oval… Luckily, the spring/summer 2025 catwalks provided ample sunglasses inspiration. New takes on aviators – which had a conversely retro feel – were a frequent feature, from yellow-tinted lenses at American designer Brandon Maxwell and Saint Laurent to coloured frames at Fendi and Gucci. 'This spring/summer is all about making a statement,' says Daphnée Chartier-Duchatel, chief marketing officer of Jimmy Fairly, the Parisian eyewear brand that has cemented its chic status through multiple collaborations with LA favourite Reformation (the latest dropped earlier this month). 'Oversized frames are back in a big way, aviators have had a sleek upgrade, and we're seeing tinted lenses – from yellow to blue – everywhere,' she continues. 'The style is a little nostalgic and playful. Bold acetates and slim retro metals are proving especially popular too.' For some archival inspiration, look no further than Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who earned a permanent position on fashion's sunglasses mood board gliding around Manhattan in ensembles that have now come to define 1990s minimalism. Whether in straight-leg jeans or simple bias-cut slips, there was one accessory that crowned Bessette-Kennedy's street style: a signature pair of black oval-shaped sunglasses. These 'Aldo' frames were from New York-based label Selima Optique. You can still buy them today – for a mere £458. A more affordable alternative can be found this season at Ace & Tate, the Dutch label that now has stores around the UK. One question remains: how to choose a pair that suits you? Certain rules relating to face shape are up for consideration – those with a heart-shaped face might do well to go for oval frames, while squarer shapes tend to suit cat's-eye styles, for example. But the best course of action might be to disregard the rulebook and try on as many pairs as possible. 'When choosing frames, don't overthink it – go with what makes you feel good,' says Chartier-Duchatel. 'A softly tinted lens can add just the right edge, while the perfect frame should feel like an extension of your mood, not just your outfit.' And if your mood happens to include going full Anna Wintour and keeping the sunglasses on inside, so be it. Find your frames... Under £100 Under £200 Over £200 Shopping by Sophie Tobin
