Joining them on the unofficial MAFS glam squad was Katie Johnston, 37, who oozed old Hollywood sophistication in a burnt orange velvet dress.
Featuring one sleeve and a thigh-high split, the slinky number flattered her hourglass curves, while a silver clutch and nude heels completed her look.

Also turning heads was influencer and media personality Suzan Mutesi, who made a dramatic entrance in a bold black halterneck mini with an extreme keyhole neckline and voluminous tutu skirt.
She paired the daring dress with sheer black tights and velvet heels, stealing the spotlight as she posed on a luxe green velvet couch.

Donald Trump wades into Sydney Sweeney ad debate
Donald Trump has waded into the debate surrounding Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad. The American Eagle ad, which features the 27-year-old actress, who starred in the HBO series Euphoria and White Lotus, has the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans". It has sparked a debate in the US over race and Western beauty standards. In a since-corrected Truth Social post, the US president initially misspelt Sweeney's first name, saying: "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying of the shelves.' Go get 'em Sidney." Most of the criticism has centred on videos using the word "genes" instead of "jeans", with one in which Sweeney says: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue." Critics argued the play on words potentially promotes eugenics, a discredited theory that believed humanity could be improved through the selective breeding of certain traits. But others have defended the ad, saying the critics are reading too much into its message. The video appeared on American Eagle's Facebook page and other social media channels, but is not part of the ad campaign. In a statement on Instagram on Friday, American Eagle Outfitters said the campaign "is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." Stocks in American Eagle Outfitters jumped by 23.3% after Mr Trump's intervention. Trump knows all publicity is good publicity US correspondent @marthakelner They say all publicity is good publicity, and Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is certainly notching up the column inches, especially now Donald Trump has intervened. The US president must have been breathlessly excited when he found out Sweeney was a registered Republican because he wrote a Truth Social post in support of her before deleting it twice and reposting three times to correct various spelling and grammatical errors. He clearly could not wait to get involved in the discourse. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there,' he wrote. "Go get 'em Sydney!" In any other era, the president weighing in so heavily on one side of a pop culture issue would've been unusual. But the current president knows people are talking about the ad around their dinner tables and at parties right now. By injecting himself into the discussion, they will now be talking about him too. In his Truth Social post, which he reposted three times to fix various typos, Mr Trump compared the ad with "woke" ones "on the other side of the ledger" - as he criticised other companies, as well as hitting out at Taylor Swift. "The tide has seriously turned - Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be," he wrote.

Sydney Sweeney heckled at premiere after controversial ad and Donald Trump endorsement
Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney was shouted at by a fan as she arrived at the Los Angeles screening for Americana. It comes days after her American Eagle advert was slammed Actress Sydney Sweeney was heckled by an angered fan after she received backlash for the controversial American Eagle advert she starred in. The Euphoria star, who was also recently outed as a registered Republican, was seen arriving at the special screening of Americana at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Anyone But You actress, 27, ignored the backlash and posed for snaps wearing a cream bustier dress with a tulle skirt custom-made by Danielle Frankel. She had her blonde hair in light waves and added a cream headband to complete the look. However, as she was walking into the venue, one person was heard calling out her name. They said: "Stop the ad! That is being racist!" as Sydney smoothly and hurriedly walked inside the venue. The American Eagle advert featured the star putting on a pair of blue jeans. It comes after Donald Trump's mental state 'clear to see' as lawmakers urged to 'act now'. In the advert, she said: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour. My jeans are blue." A voiceover then adds: 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes." In the US, American Eagle's billboard ads show the word 'genes' crossed out and replaced with 'jeans'. While some think the campaign is harmless, many say it taps into the ideology of eugenics - the belief that the human race could be 'improved' by increasing the presence of traits considered desirable, traits historically linked to whiteness. Eugenics was developed in the late 19th century by Sir Francis Galton, and later used to justify discrimination against minority groups and people with disabilities. Although the ideology is now widely condemned, it helped lay the groundwork for how society continues to define beauty and value. Not long after the advert was released, Sydney was outed as a registered Republican. While on the runway in Pennsylvania on Sunday evening, Donald Trump stopped to answer questions from reporters who were gathered there. One informed the US president that actress Sydney is a Republican. "I'm glad you told me that," he replied to the reporter before adding that the nugget of information certainly swayed his opinion on the American Eagle advert. The interaction came when Trump was about to board Air Force One before heading back to Washington from Allentown. When he was told that it had come out that Sydney, 27, was a registered Republican, he was clearly surprised and told reporters: "Oh, now I love her ad. "You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's one I wouldn't have known but I'm glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic."

Controversial Married At First Sight UK star is set to GO NAKED on raunchy TV dating show in shock career move
A controversial Married At First Sight star is set to go fully naked on a very raunchy dating TV show. Luke Worley, who was axed from the Channel 4 show after an altercation with a co-star, will bare it all on-screen as he signed up for Paramount+ show Dating Naked UK. The Tezlo founder, 32, shocked fans after making the announcement on his Instagram page, with the eagerly-anticipated steamy series to kick off on 29 August. In his latest post, Luke posed completely naked as he held a blue sphere in front of his privates, with the ironic caption: 'I probably just needed a hug….but i stripped off instead 'Dating Naked streams exclusively on @paramountplusuk from Friday 29th August, with two episodes dropping every week.' The spicy dating programme will be hosted by Rylan Clark, presenting a new challenge for Luke, who will join the naked-only villa. Singletons will get to know each other while the show won't be censoring or pixellating any of the scenes. The Essex-born entrepreneur previously shot to stardom on Married At First Sight in 2023 but was eventually kicked out due to a bust-up with co-star Jordan Gayle. 'Luke has always found it difficult to make meaningful connections. Despite his attempts and outgoing personality, he has always struggled to find love,' a show spokesperson said, Daily Star reports. The publication also claimed Luke aims for his new stint to be a fresh start after receiving significant death treats following the MAFS controversy. In a bid to vocalise for body positivity, the spokesperson added: 'Luke feels like he's already bared all when it comes to being vulnerable on TV having previously appeared on Married At First Sight, but feels strongly about representing the 'normal' men out there who don't fit the stereotypical mould of the perfect body.' Presenter Rylan, 36, defended his new show after critics branded it 'disgraceful' when it was first released on Paramount+ last year. The English host said at the time that the show is doing what it is meant to do and that's showing 'dating, but laid bare.' He said it's like 'Love Island without the bikinis' and jibed that the 'duty of care is like no other show.' The last series featured 10 singles seeking romance while naked in a tropical setting. Contestants face challenges as new arrivals join, disrupting existing relationships. Rylan said: 'It is Love Island without the bikinis, that's pretty much what it is, you see everything, there's no strategic placement of the cameras.'
