Former This Is Us star Chrissy Metz debuts 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.

Pete Davidson is keeping his Hillary Clinton tattoo
Pete Davidson is keeping his Hillary Clinton tattoo. The 31-year-old comedian has been undergoing laser treatment to get rid of his inkings, but he's insisted he will not be getting rid of the body art tribute to the politician which he had done after she lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show, Pete explained: "I love that Hillary. I got Hillary after she lost, because ... I know her personally and she's a lovely lady - but also just, like, she's tough, man. "She was really at the forefront of some b*******, and as someone who has been at the forefront of some b*******, I was just, like, I just wanted to cheer her up a little bit." Pete went on to reveal Hillary actually got in touch with him to check he wasn't planning to remove the inking, adding: "What was cute is when I got them removed, she hit me up and she's like: 'You're not removing me, are you?' I was like: 'Of course not, of course. Hillary stays'. She loves it." The 31-year-old TV star went on to reveal removing his tattoos is a long and painful process and it's going to take many years because he has to space out the treatments between work commitments. He explained: "Essentially, they burn off a sheet of your skin and then its gotta heal for six to eight weeks. And the healing thing, you have an open gash on your arm and then you gotta put all this stuff on it, keep it out of the sun. And then after six to eight weeks, you gotta do it 10 more times ... "It sucks. If anyone is actually thinking about getting a tattoo, I would recommend thinking about it for a couple of years because your feelings change, you know?" Pete previously had more than 200 tattoos and recently revealed he's spent more than $200,000 having them removed. He told Variety: 'It's a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose, but I think one of the tabloids already leaked it. "I've already spent like 200k and I'm like 30 per cent done. So, like, it's gonna suck ... My arms are pretty much gone, and my hands and neck are gone. But I still have to do my torso and back."

Jussie Smollett feels 'insecure' meeting new people after his hate crime ordeal
Jussie Smollett feels "insecure" whenever he meets new people following his hate crime debacle. The Empire star alleged he was the victim of a hate crime in 2019, but was sentenced to 150 days in jail in March 2022 after being found guilty of lying about being a victim of a racist and homophobic attack and making a false police report, but his convictions were overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court after his legal team lodged an appeal. Smollett's attorneys claimed that the actor's rights were violated after a special prosecutor decided to retry him, even though the initial charges against him were dropped. Smollett has always maintained his innocence, insisting "there was no hoax" and that he was the target of a hate crime. The 43-year-old actor is still affected by the ordeal, explaining to Variety: 'I'm still insecure when I meet people for the first time. "I don't know if they are coming into the room thinking that I'm this trash person who did something that I didn't do, or if they are thinking that I am this good person who got a raw deal." On August 22, the documentary The Truth About Jussie Smollett? will hit Netflix. In a lengthy statement explaining why he decided to settle, Smollett penned: 'Over six years ago, after it was reported I had been jumped, City Officials in Chicago set out to convince the public that I willfully set an assault against myself. This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear. These officials wanted my money and wanted my confession for something I did not do. Today, it should be clear.... They have received neither. The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult one to make. After repeatedly refusing to pay the City, I was presented with an opportunity to make a charitable donation in exchange for the case being dismissed. 'Despite what happened there politically, Chicago was my home for over 5 years and the people became my family. Therefore, making a donation to benefit Chicago communities that are too often neglected by those in power will always be something I support. I've made a $50,000.00 direct donation to Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts (BBF), a local nonprofit doing incredible work nurturing self expression, creativity and exploration of the arts for Chicago youth. This organization was of my choosing and I'm comforted that there will be at least one winner from this experience. 'Though I was exonerated by the Illinois Supreme Court in a unanimous decision and the civil case will now be dismissed, I'm aware that it will not change everyone's mind about me or the attack I experienced. However, despite arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system. What I have to do now is move forward. 'I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with the truth.'

Blanchett 'wildly' interested in English Squid Game
Cate Blanchett is "wildly open" to leading an English-language take on Squid Game. The 56-year-old actor made a surprise appearance in the third series of the South Korean series as an unnamed American recruiter and she admitted she would love to take the role further. Asked if she is interested in an English-language Squid Game sequel or spin-off, she told Variety: "I am wildly open to anything. "And in a world that is so beautifully, magically created like that, for sure. They're amazing world-builders, and that series has been eaten alive. I don't think there's a corner of the globe that it hasn't touched in some way." Despite rumours that Blanchett's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button director David Fincher has pitched an English-language take on the series, the Oscar-winning star insisted she doesn't know anything. "I mean, I'd love to work with David again. It's been ages. But no, I don't know anything more than you do. I'm not being coy. I really don't," she said. The Australian star's offer to appear on Squid Game came "out of the blue" and was shrouded in so much secrecy, she didn't even have a costume fitting and was instead asked to bring a suit of her own. She recalled: "Because it's such a cult series and they were shooting in LA of all places, everyone was on a need-to-know basis. "I got a couple of storyboards. I had to (learn to) play the game very quickly. I had to practise and practise. "I knew there were four or five set-ups that they were going to do, and I knew what they needed from every shot, and then I was given the sides. But it was one of the more mysterious jobs." The Disclaimer actor is "absolutely" looking forward to doing more TV and is "particularly keen" to join a series that is "fully formed" already.
