But that wasn't the only reunion at the premiere.
At the Los Angeles red carpet on Tuesday, Hollywood star Lindsey, 39, was also reunited Parent Trap co-stars Lisa, 61, and Elaine, 54.
Lindsay was just 12 when she played identical twins Annie James and Hallie Parker in the 1998 family movie.
Identical twins Hallie and Annie are separated after their parents' divorce. Years later, they discover each other at a summer camp and decide to switch places in an effort to reunite their parents.
Elaine is probably best known for her role as The Parent Trap's snobby villain and stepmum Meredith Foster.
While Lisa portrayed kind-hearted Chessy, nanny to the identical twins, born on October 11.
The former co-stars delighted fans as they posed for together at the glitzy event.
Lindsay looked glamorous in a pink and silver beaded gown with her blonde hair beautifully curled to one side.
She flashed a big smile sandwiched between the two actresses.
Elaine wore a cream dress with silver embodied star detail on it, with her hair in tight curls and some red lipstick.

Lisa looked chic in a black pinstripe suit and black vest top.
She accessorised with gold drop earrings, black sunglasses and her luscious red hair in loose waves.
Elaine went on to star in The Narrative and Joan of Arcadia, and more recently starred in the popular Netflix TV show Dynasty as Alexis Carrington, the character originally played by Joan Collins.
She took over from Nicolette Sheridan who left the series due health complications.
"Replacing a role that's been going on for a couple of years is not something I've done before," Elaine said.
An animal rights activist, she also runs The Pet Matchmaker, an organisation concerned with the rescue, foster and adoption of homeless pets.
In 2023 Elaine discovered her great-grandparents lived on the same street in New York as her Parent Trap co-star Lisa in the early 1900s and very likely socialised together.
While in a bizarre coincidence, Lisa gave birth to her own identical twins three years after the film's release - and they too were born on October 11.
She went on to star in Bruce Almighty with Jim Carrey, and the blockbuster War of the Worlds.
Lisa is also the creator and executive producer of the reality weight-loss competition Dance Your Ass Off, on US TV.
She is still close friends with Elaine and their co-star Simon Kunz, who played butler Martin in the movie.

Coronation Street's Carla is deeply touched as Lisa makes thoughtful gesture
Carla Connor (Alison King) is touched in upcoming Coronation Street scenes when girlfriend Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) makes a thoughtful gesture. In recent scenes, Carla and Lisa came out on top in their battle against Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) for the ownership of No.6. The couple have been moving their relationship forward in recent months, agreeing to buy a house together after a turbulent few months. After making things official in November 2024, their relationship was rocked by Carla's health issues, and the return of killer brother Rob Donovan. Thankfully, this only made them stronger in the end, though they faced further heartbreak when the death of Craig Tinker brought back painful memories of Becky Swain's murder. Amid the turmoil, Lisa asked Carla to marry her, but they both agreed that it was too soon. Instead, the next logical step was for them to buy a house together, and it didn't take long to get Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) on board. Next week, there are changes afoot as the Connor-Swains begin to settle into their new home – and they're not the only ones. As Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) helps the couple pack up the flat, he opens up about his own new living arrangements, and his odd flatmate. Ever the protective aunty, Carla is concerned for him, and her reaction leaves Lisa thoughtful. More Trending Later, Carla is surprised when Ryan arrives at No.6 with his rucksack. As Lisa explains that she has asked Ryan to move in with them, Carla is touched. View More » Are they set for a peaceful life in their new home, or will it be too crowded?

Taylor Swift shoots ‘top secret music video in Los Angeles so covert even staff on set were not allowed to hear song'
An insider spoke to The U.S. Sun about the pop megastar's plans READY FOR IT? Taylor Swift shoots 'top secret music video in Los Angeles so covert even staff on set were not allowed to hear song' TAYLOR Swift may be set to surprise fans with new music as she was filming in secret in Los Angeles this week despite her reported break from performing, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal. The singer has been enjoying some much-needed time off with boyfriend Travis Kelce after her record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped.

The Instagram Taylor Nation, run by her social team, also fueled speculation they're counting down using her albums, which fans believe could conclude at the beginning of August. Now, an insider has claimed Taylor is definitely gearing up for her next chapter after more than 500 days. "Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video," an insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun. Advertisement Read more on Taylor Swift ALL LOVED UP Taylor Swift sparks rumors she's engaged to Travis Kelce with telling detail "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat. "Even though she's been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she's working on, which will no doubt please fans." The U.S. Sun has reached out to Taylor's rep for comment. Taylor's last release was The Tortured Poets Department, her eleventh studio album, which dropped on April 19, 2024, by Republic Records. Advertisement SOCIAL COUNTDOWN Fans have been following Taylor's social posts desperate for information on the next era. One on X posted this week, "i absolutely NEED the feeling of pressing play on a new taylor album at midnight soon." Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson enjoy night out with rarely-seen brothers Austin and Jesse in NYC A second wrote on the site, "i need a new taylor swift album right now i'm so parched." "I am so excited to see what this Taylor Swift countdown (or I guess count up?) leads to!!!" a third added. Advertisement Taylor's next era comes after she bought back the rights to her first six albums, including music videos, concert films, artwork, and unreleased songs. This acquisition, reportedly costing $360 million, reportedly ended a long-standing battle for control of her master recordings when her former label, Big Machine Label Group, sold them to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings. She alleged the deal went through without offering her the chance to purchase them. Scooter then sold the masters and all the rights to Taylor's tracks to Shamrock Holdings in 2020. Advertisement Taylor, 35, confirmed in a statement that she now owns her back catalog once more. In a long letter, Taylor said, "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me. All of my music videos. All the concert films. "The album art and the photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic and the madness. Every single era. My entire life's work. MASTERS BATTLE "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. Advertisement "All I ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached. "No partnership, with full autonomy. I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me." In a post to Tumblr in June 2019, Taylor told fans that bosses refused to sell her masters to her unless she agreed to be locked into a new recording contract with them. Taylor wrote, "For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and 'earn' one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. Advertisement "I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future." Taylor vowed to take on the system and announced she would re-record her first six albums; Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. Her last re-release was 1989, but she now doesn't need to re-record her album Reputation. During Taylor's work break, she has been spending quality time with her boyfriend Travis, 35. Advertisement He shared a series of photos this week of their summer adventures, giving fans a rare glimpse into their relationship. Travis is now back in training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the 2025 season. 6 Taylor Swift performing close to the end of the Eras tour Credit: Getty 6 Travis Kelce posted a series of photos showing him and Taylor Swift on Instagram Credit: INSTAGRAM @killatrav Advertisement

Blackpink review – K-pop queens bring fun to New York with a little fatigue on the side
In 2023, the four women of Blackpink – Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé – stood on top of the world. In the seven years since their 2016 debut, the K-pop quartet became the biggest girl-group of all time, off the back of delirious hooks, hard-ass stunting, cut-glass choreography and relentless work. With billions of streams, sold-out stadiums and YouTube viewership records in their wake, the group became the female face of the boundary-annihilating force that is K-pop, taking pandemonium and hype as its calling card; with the exception of their slender physiques, everything about the band was huge. Their 2023 headliner set at Coachella – the first Asian and all-female group to headline one of North America's largest music festivals – served as a jet-fueled exclamation point on global domination. I stood in the crowd that night feeling like I'd been leveled by a sonic boom, in the best way. Much has changed in the two short years since then. The band went on unofficial hiatus for each member's respective solo careers, and the four subsequent releases – Jennie's Ruby, Jisoo's Amortage, Lisa's Alter Ego and Rosé's Rosie – all attempted to escape the Blackpink shadow with halting success; the group's two rappers, Lisa and Jennie, also launched English-language acting careers on HBO, in The White Lotus and The Idol, and returned to Coachella as solo acts with plenty of bombast but less horsepower. The once ascendant wave of K-pop, buoyed up by the massive crossover success of Blackpink and all-male peers BTS, stalled out abroad and lost traction at home, global ambition and misfiring albums costing musical identity and momentum. The pop banger remains, however, a universal, enduring language, and at New York's Citi Field on Sunday night, Blackpink flexed their mastery of the genre with a tour of their energy drink-style hits – unabashedly manufactured, relentlessly upbeat, the highs jagged, aggressive, and borderline hallucinatory. Just two years after their last world tour, Blackpink is back for what is billed as a reunion, with the band in a precarious if still victorious position; the last North American stop of their Deadline World Tour (is the deadline age? Solo success? Fleeting consumer attention?), at a stadium in one of the largest Asian American communities in the US, is an undeniable celebration, a spectacular if familiar show of force. It's also evidence of the wandering focus of a band now comfortably at the top; despite the alleged urgency of the deadline, the 2.5-hour show is more slack than Blackpink standard, the girls still stunting but no longer out for the kill. (With the exception of Lisa, the group's hardest member by far, who remains lethal, her dancing never less than crisp.) Numerous times during the group's typically maximalist set – three acts and an encore, spliced with two to three song solo diversions for each member – I caught the look of fatigue on their faces. A drop of the elbow here or a slip of the mean mug there, though quickly smothered by the pyrotechnics, army of industrial backup dancers, lasers, general swirl of stadium sound and camera work that largely denied the pleasure of seeing all four in formation, in favor of one or two singers at a time. And fair enough – the New York July night was so oppressively humid that I was dripping in sweat just standing there; after the head-banging bombast of Boombayah, all four were forced to acknowledge the air's palpable resistance to any movement, or as de facto spokesperson Rosé put it: 'It is REALLY hot today.' The goodwill of faithful Blinks – fittingly for the band, a stadium of many languages, diehard adults next to awed children with merch-toting parents in tow – largely covered for any lapses, and was rewarded with high-octane delights. New single Jump, making the girl power lineage explicit – 'So come up with me, I'll take you high / That prima donna, spice up your life' – layered itchy club beat, weapons-grade bass and tweaking choreography with lasers, fireworks and smoke for a full dose of undiluted, undeniable hype that got the crowd up. At their best, the siren call of 'Blackpink in your areaaaaaa' remains as potent as ever. Less so with the solo diversions, each introduced with interludes of overdone music video imagery of the luxe life – Vegas and city lights, diamonds and furs – that underscored their relative lack of precision. Jennie delivered obligatory stunting, Jisoo sensible pop, Rosé surprising ballads – her solo section, in which she went full Taylor Swift mode with the guitar, provided the most western-style pop moments of the show. If the solo sections hammered home one impression, it's that Lisa alone, in her dragon-skin suit and formidable sneer, has the jet fuel for a solo career. Also, that as a unit, the members' combined strengths covered their weaknesses like an airtight shield. It was a palpable relief, then, when they reunited following Rosé's turn for the pure force of breakout track DDU-DU DDU-DU, the wattage re-upped by camaraderie and their view of the finish line. Individually, they are pop artists in a crowded field, each neutralized and overwhelmed by the familiar elements around them. Together, they steamroll. And so it was that Sunday's finale of Like Jennie, in which all four came together to perform a song that Jennie just performed solo, briefly showed the stamp of Blackpink magic: the beat rips, the head-bopping with slick glasses is distinctly Jennie, but nothing hits quite like the four of them moving together.
