She added a pair of red Jimmy Choo Etana sandals, which added a glossy edge to her look.

Her passion for acting began at the age of five Emma Myers, who plays Enid Sinclair in the Netflix show Wednesday, pictured in 2022. Photo: @ememyers/Instagram Myers was born on April 2, 2002, in Orlando, Florida, to lawyers Nicole Cassimatis Myers, who is American with Greek ancestry, and Jeremy Myers. She is the second eldest of four sisters and was home-schooled by her mother, who preferred her children to have a 'hands-on education', according to Variety. Although her unconventional schooling made socialising difficult, she told the publication she found friendship through theatre and dance. Her love of performing began at the age of five after she accompanied her older sister to auditions in Orlando – though her sister later chose to pursue law like their parents. Myers made her screen debut in 2010 with an uncredited part in the film Letters to God. She reportedly took a break from acting when she turned 12 due to the unpredictable nature of casting, but revisited her passion at 16 after moving to Atlanta. During that time she focused on dance, which she told Variety has helped with her stunt work as an adult. Emma Myers in a still from A Minecraft Movie. Photo: Warner Bros.

She is also set to voice a character in upcoming The Angry Birds Movie 3. She's a fashion darling

What my first cruise, a solo Mediterranean trip with the Norwegian Cruise Line, was like
I am standing at the top of the Epic Plunge, a four-storey-tall waterslide on the Norwegian Epic cruise ship, filled with anticipation and trepidation. There is no one else up here, so I quickly place my inflatable tube close to the edge of the slide, sit on it, right hand holding onto the right grip, feet facing front, and ready to go. But wait, where is the left grip? As I shift my body to the left, the tube swivels 90 degrees and, just like that, I am speeding down the 200-foot (61-metre) spiralling slide, back to front, before I land in a giant basin, swirl around it a few times and then get sucked into the plughole in the middle. It was the wrong way to do it, but fun no less. The Epic Plunge is a four-storey-tall waterslide on the Norwegian Epic cruise ship. Photo: SCMPost In a way, that same conflicting emotion I had before taking the plunge sums up how I felt before embarking on my first cruise holiday: excitement with a slight sense of dread. What if I get mugged on the way? What if I misplace my passport? What if I get (sea)sick? In the post-pandemic era, cruise issues such as onboard hygiene standards and food safety – or lack thereof – are still very much on every traveller's mind. Then there are the horror stories you hear about holidaying at sea, including those documented in the recently released Trainwreck: Poop Cruise on Netflix – its title leaves very little to the imagination.
