Matthew McConaughey and wife make rare red carpet appearance with all three of their kids
made a rare red carpet appearance with his entire family this week.
The A-list actor, 55, was joined by his wife Camila Alves, 42, and their three kids — Levi, 16, Vida, 15, and Livingston, 12 — at the 2025 Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala in Austin, Texas.
The annual gala is a 'joint fundraising effort' between McConaughey, country singer Jack Ingram and legendary football coach Mack Brown.
'The two-day fun-filled event offers music, golf and fashion benefiting select non-profit organizations that each reflect the MJ&M goal to empower kids,' the official website reads.
MJ&M has donated over $61 million to children's charities since its 2012 inception.
And McConaughey looked happy to have Camila and their children by his side as he celebrated the event's 13th year.
The family posed for photos together on the red carpet ahead of the festivities held at ACL Live.
McConaughey and Camila — who have been married since 2012 — stood in the middle as Levi, Vida and Livingston posed beside them.
McConaughey was dressed in a chic cream suit while Camila looked radiant in a black and white high-low floral dress.
Vida looked like the spitting image of her model mom in a strapless white gown.
The 15-year-old — who celebrated her birthday in January — also appeared in photos with just her father.
In one shot, the Oscar-winning star plants a kiss on Vida's forehead while wrapping one arm around her shoulders.
Livingston beamed for shutterbugs in a gray velvet suit styled with a white T-shirt and a silver chain necklace.
Levi, rocking a head of curly hair, highly resembled McConaughey as he flashed a smile for shutterbugs while wearing a gray suit and white dress shirt.

After years of living in Los Angeles as a famous actor, McConaughey moved back to his home state of Texas with his family in 2014.
The move was partially born out of McConaughey's desperation to no longer be Hollywood's 'rom-com dude.' He 'stopped' taking roles and relocated to a ranch in Austin.
'I was so strong in that lane that anything outside of that lane, dramas and stuff that I wanted to do, were like, no, no, no, no, no McConaughey. Hollywood said no, no, no, no, you should stay there, stay there,' he recently revealed on a November 2024 episode of the Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios podcast.
'I didn't want to. So, since I couldn't do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing.
'I went down [to Texas] and I made a pact with my wife and said, "I'm not going back to work unless I get offered roles I want to do."'
After what he described as a few 'wobbly' years, McConaughey's major career move eventually paid off and he won his first Academy Award for Dallas Buyers Club in 2014.
McConaughey's Texas relocation was also necessary for his family life with wife Camila.
The Lone Star State native and his spouse exchanged vows at their home in Austin, Texas on June 9, 2012, and officially moved back there (from Malibu, California) two years later.
Last year, McConaughey shared on TODAY that life in Austin offers his family a sense of 'security' and that always intended to return to Texas once he welcomed children with Alves.
'This has always been home, I mean, there's multiple reasons for [the move]. I mean, this is where I have a great relationship with time - meaning 60 seconds feels like a minute, a mile feels like a mile,' he explained to the hosts.
He added, 'I like to live in a place and for a home to be a place where I have a good relationship with time.'
The Dallas Buyers Club star noted that his family is based out of Texas, including his mother, 92, and brothers who live in Houston and Midland.
'Our family unit is here - we have resources and a backbone of security here,' The Lincoln Lawyer actor added.
'I wanted them to have what I grew up around,' McConaughey said. 'There's a solid … amount of common sense that runs through it, it's untalked about, but we understand it here.'
He hailed Austin as a 'very creative city in a state that is very structured,' and one where people are accepted for who they are.
McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, Texas and raised in Longview, Texas, went to college at the University of Texas at Austin prior to entering show business.
He remains an ardent fan of the school's football team, the Texas Longhorns, often appearing on sidelines at games.
'The rule in Austin is "Be You" - that's always been the rule in this city - and we should make sure that that remains the rule - just "Be You,"' he said.
In a joint interview for Southern Living earlier this year, McConaughey and Alves shared that although they were living a 'happy life' in Malibu, Texas offered them a lifestyle with no 'drama' and more 'hospitality.'
Alves said that she knew deep down that McConaughey wanted to move back to Texas after she witnessed firsthand how 'peaceful' he was while he was there.
McConaughey said that living in Texas has brought 'ritual' back to their family life.
'Ritual came back, whether that was Sunday church, sports, dinner together as a family every night, or staying up after that telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and nibbling while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before,' he explained.

How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. Parents were eager to get their hands on the bargains after seeing others' hauls. One person wrote: "Great Christmas presents for some." Another commented: 'Definitely need to go and look." "I got a big trolley full as well," penned a third. Someone else added: 'I managed to get a cheap Barbie style speed boat for £1 but that was the only item left." More Bargains

BBC The One Show paused as Alex Jones pays emotional tribute to 'friend'
The One Show host Alex Jones paid tribute to a friend at the start of Thursday's show The One Show host Alex Jones has delivered a heartfelt homage to a "friend" one year after their tragic death. During tonight's (June 5) episode of the popular BBC show, Alex and her colleague Roman Kemp delved into the day's top stories from the UK and beyond. The presenting duo also chatted with Clare Balding about an exciting summer for women's sports, and caught up with Michael Sheen and Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville and Tom Cullen, who are joining forces again for the BBC drama The Gold. At the start of the episode, Alex shared a touching tribute to Dr Michael Mosley, who died at the age of 67 after going missing while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi last June. "It's been a year since our friend Dr Michael Mosley sadly died. He had a long history with this show and one of his sons, who's also a doctor, shared with us how he hopes to continue his father's legacy," she remarked, reports the Express. A special segment was then aired, with Michael's son, Dr Jack Mosley, explaining how he planned to follow in his father's footsteps. "My dad was so passionate about healthy living, and his infectious enthusiasm was part of what made him so popular," Jack reflected. Discussing the aftermath of his father's death, Jack continued: "It was such a sudden thing when dad did pass away. It has been difficult for my siblings and I, my mum. The only positive I can think to come out of it is it has brought us closer together as a family, and that's something that he would have liked to see." Michael's spouse Clare, also a medic by profession, conveyed how the outpouring of public sympathy has provided her immense solace during this hard time. She then took cameras into the cupboard where Michael used to record his podcast, Just One Thing, and revealed that she "can't quite bring herself" to take down the podcast's poster. Now, Jack has written a book on weight loss medication and food nutrition, called Food Noise. He has worked closely with his mum, who has created over 50 healthy recipes for the book. Jack concluded: "To continue on some of these really important messages about healthy eating and lifestyle changes is something that was very important to my dad. I do want to continue that mission." Back in the BBC studio, Alex reflected: "It's hard to believe it's been a year... Our thoughts, of course, are with the whole family at this time." Beyond his podcast, Michael gained recognition for his roles in several health-focused TV programmes, including Trust Me, I'm A Doctor, The Truth about Exercise, and Lose a Stone in 21 Days.

Goodbye Dresses – These Milkmaid Tops Couldn't Be More Perfect For Summer 2025
Last year, milkmaid dresses - essentially, a wafty piece of material that would very much suit a wildflower meadow (think: the best Dôen dresses) - almost overtook the floral dress as summer's most popular throw-on-and-go item. This hot-weather season's update, however, is slightly less immersive, with a top version of the once-ubiquitous dress that utilises its boho credentials without looking as though you've lost your milking stool. Nicole Stark ©@nicolekimberleystark You can't escape the rise of milkmaid tops. As well as Dôen, whose entire 'tops' category right now is practically an ode to being an off-duty milkmaid (Kaia Gerber just wore its Traveler Top), high street brands have discovered the blouse in a big way ahead of summer (H&M, Nobody's Child, you name it). It's not hard to see the appeal. Even if you're not an outdoorsy person, and would rather not get up close and personal with anything of a bovine persuasion, the milkmaid top is tempting. Usually white and made of cotton with details along the lines of lace inserts, bow-tied closures, sheer panels and a general sense of lightness that makes them suitable for sultry temperatures (if only!), it's a top that goes hand in glove with summer occasions like meeting a friend after work for a park date (wine included). Kaia Gerber in Dôen's Traveler Top The trick is perhaps not going head-to-toe milkmaid, which is hard to avoid with the dress version. A milkmaid top, on the other hand, can be paired with a variety of lo-fi bottoms to balance out, or at least temper, its cottagecore leanings, something like knee-length denim shorts, a cargo skirt or even tracksuit bottoms. Lucy Williams ©@lucywilliams02 Of course, if you're fond of the look (and dipped your toe into the milkmaid dress trend last time round), no one's stopping you from teaming your milkmaid top with a lace skirt, bloomers or, following in the very stylish footsteps of Nicole Stark, a similarly wafty skirt. 1.
