Former This Is Us star Chrissy Metz debuts 45kg weight loss
Chrissy Metz turned heads at Variety's Power of Women event in Nashville, proudly displaying her 45kg weight loss.
The 44-year-old actress, who recently spoke about her health journey, stepped out in a colourful pastel mini dress featuring shades of pink, blue, and yellow.
Her outfit, perfect for spring, included a V-neckline with ruffled detailing and short sleeves for a playful, feminine touch.
The This Is Us star completed her ensemble with a stylish twist — white cowboy boots that added a bold flair to her look.
Her appearance comes nearly a month after she shared new details about her approach to health and fitness, including the workout technique she credits with helping her stay in shape.
In a one-on-one interview with DailyMail.com, Metz opened up about her routine, revealing her renewed commitment to strength training.
'I have always enjoyed strength training. I've always enjoyed lifting weights,' she said, adding that she prefers it over traditional cardio exercises.
'I don't want to run unless I'm being chased,' she joked while discussing her second children's book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings.
Metz also spoke fondly of her trainer, who has been through his own weight loss transformation, something she finds especially motivating.
'We have things in common where it's not just like, 'Why are you doing this?' Like, I don't want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I'm doing,' she shared about their sessions.
Beyond personal support, Metz says she's also driven by a long-term goal: maintaining her health as she ages.
'I want to age the best way that I can, and I want to be strong. And that's really the impetus behind any of it,' she emphasised.
Living in Nashville, Metz explained that concerns about ageing conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis are a big part of why she prioritises her wellbeing.
'I'm literally doing it because I am nervous about ageing, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall [and] it's really about being and staying strong and flexible.'
Her workout schedule may shift depending on her calendar, but she brings full enthusiasm to any new interest — whether it's exercising, gardening, or woodworking.
She 'loves to go ham, all in,' and 'chip away just a little bit every day.'
When asked her opinion on the use of Ozempic, Metz responded with a balanced, respectful view.
'It's something I feel is so personal.'
'I think if you're not hurting anybody, and you're not hurting yourself, you should do what you feel is right for your body or your mind or whatever.'
The Power of Women Nashville brunch, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, spotlighted powerful speeches celebrating the vital role of women — particularly in the world of country music.

Seth Rogen calls directing Martin Scorsese the 'worst thing in the world'
Seth Rogen has admitted directing Martin Scorsese in The Studio was the "worst thing in the world". The actor stars in and directs the Apple TV Plus series in which he plays the head of a movie studio and it's featured cameos from industry titans including Goodfellas director Scorsese, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Zoe Kravitz, Olivia Wilde and Zac Efron - and Rogen has now admitted he was "nervous" working with big name stars on his project. In an interview with Jason Segel for Variety, Rogen explained: " I'd say half of them [the cameos] were people I didn't know at all. We wanted people you haven't seen us with before. "Martin Scorsese, we just sent it to his manager. I'd met Zoe Kravitz once or twice. I met a lot of these people in passing. I'm sure you have at a party." When asked if he was "intimidated" to direct people like Scorsese, Rogen replied: "It was the worst thing in the whole world. We were shooting the show in such a specific way that I was so nervous it would be creatively rejected. " In the show, his character Matt Remick is often desperate for directors and actors to like him and worries about making them angry - and Rogen admits he's a lot like Matt in many ways. He added: "The character is me in many, many ways. And the crux of the character is that he doesn't want to let down his idols. "And that's one of the biggest things that I'm navigating: Whenever I get anyone to come do a thing we're doing, I'm so aware of how upset I'll be if they think it's bad. " Segel went on to add of Scorsese: "I did meet Martin Scorsese once. I met him at the Golden Globes, and we peed next to each other at the urinals. But I had the kids' one and he had the tall one. So everything about it was just way off. That's a great memory." Rogen the added: "He's a little guy." Rogen previously admitted he's had plenty of pushback from industry pals after he used their real life experiences as inspiration for The Studio. He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I think more [often] people have not wanted to accept that we have based things off of them, rather than claiming that we have based things off of them. "If anything, people are like: 'That's not me though.' But I think in general they really see that it comes from a place of love."

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood finally address 'ridiculous' reports of White Lotus feud
Walton Goggins has confirmed there is "no feud" with Aimee Lou Wood after 'The White Lotus'. The 53-year-old actor and his co-star - who played Rick Hatchett and Chelsea on the hit HBO show - have faced claims of a rift between them after he unfollowed her on Instagram once season three of Mike White's anthology drama was finished. In a joint interview for Variety's Actor on Actor series, he said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. "I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' Walton insisted the speculation over him unfollowing her on social media was "such a comment on where we're at culturally". He argued: "Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s**** about Instagram. 'Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea and enjoy it?' Meanwhile, 'Sex Education' star Aimee, 31, explained why she decided to stay silent on the rumours despite initially wanting to correct everyone. She said: "Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Walton took the opportunity in their interview to "follow" her right there and then, as he found his phone and opened up Instagram. He added: "It's all so ridiculous. It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.' As they hugged, she told him: 'I completely understand.' Meanwhile, Walton recalled having an emotional goodbye with 'Justified' castmate Tim Olyphant before not talking to him "for almost two years", which is what he's done "with every single thing" he's worked on. There was also the added heartbreak of him returning to Bangkok, Thailand for the first time since he escaped to the city after his wife took her own life in 2004. He explained: "My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. "I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' He "needed to just back away from everyone", noting it wasn't a case of solely ignoring Aimee. He said: "I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f*** what you think. "This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.'
