Hollywood siren Sydney Sweeney flaunts cleavage on red carpet after addressing Jonathan Davino split
Hollywood bombshell Sydney Sweeney flaunted her cleavage at the premiere of her new film - after finally breaking her silence on her split from Jonathan Davino.
Sydney, 27, and Jonathan, 41, started dating 2018 and got engaged in 2022 but kept their romance largely out of the public eye.
Over the past few months, though, they were trailed by a swirl of rumors that they had called off the wedding, fueled by Sydney's sightings without his ring.
Last week she finally put the swirling speculation to bed by confirming her relationship status while plugging her new movie Echo Valley to The Times.
When she was asked whether she was still planning her wedding, she replied: 'No,' and when prodded on whether she was single, she said: 'Yes.'
Now, after declaring herself back on the market, the sizzling sensation put her décolletage on display in a plunging gown for the New York premiere of Echo Valley.
Her luxurious scarlet frock was cinched in around her enviably svelte midsection before flowing into a luxurious skirt that flowed across the floor.
With ruched accents around her tiny waistline, the sumptuous dress accentuated Sydney's curves to full advantage as she sauntered across the carpet.
Sharpening her screen siren features with makeup, the Euphoria and The White Lotus star let her trademark blonde hair tumble freely over her shoulders.
Echo Valley stars Julianne Moore as a horse trainer on a Pennsylvania farm and Sydney as her daughter, who turns up one day spattered with someone else's blood, triggering a thriller plotline and a family drama.
Julianne posed proudly beside Sydney at the premiere this Wednesday, demonstrating the resemblance between the pair.
The Oscar-winning actress brought back memories of the 1980s in a black gown with raised shoulders that appeared to have been done in velvet or velour.
Her unmistakable red hair was teased into a silken bob, and her makeup brought out a luminous glow in her complexion as she beamed next to her onscreen daughter.
Julianne attended the gala at AMC Lincoln Square on the arm of her casually dressed son Caleb Freundlich, who has followed her footsteps into showbiz and become a singer-songwriter under the name Caleb Moore.

Sydney and Julianne also gathered together for a group shot with their co-star Kyle MacLachlan, who plays the husband of Julianne's character.
Kyle, Julianne and Sydney also stood for pictures with their dashing castmates Edmund Donovan, Domhnall Gleeson and Albert Jones.
Directed by Michael Pearce, the film also features Fiona Shaw, who is best known to moviegoers around the world as Harry Potter's Aunt Petunia.
Echo Valley will receive a limited theatrical release in the United States this Friday, and next Friday will become more widely available on Apple TV+.

Music Review: On Addison Rae's 'Addison,' a new pop powerhouse is born
The pop album of the summer is here. Addison Rae's debut, 'Addison,' is full, stuffed with bejeweled, hypnotic pop songs for the post-'BRAT' crowd. Hedonism has a new hero. For those who've watched her rise, it's almost impossible to believe. It wasn't so long ago – almost exactly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic – that a young Rae went on 'The Tonight Show' and taught its host Jimmy Fallon a few stiff, meme-able TikTok dance moves, then what made up the bulk of her career. It was met with almost immediate backlash, as is common for young women with viral posts. But she wielded it like a weapon: Social media celebrity begat acting roles for Rae, then a coveted collaboration with Charli XCX in the form of a 'Von Dutch' remix, and now, at age 24, her final form: becoming the hyper-ambitious, hyper-femme pop star for the current moment. As a full body of work, 'Addison' taps into the genre-agnostic zeitgeist, where pop music appears edgy and elastic. The songs speak for themselves, from the pitch-shifted trip-hop 'Headphones On' and the snapped percussion, minor chords, NSFW lyrics and vanishing synths of 'High Fashion' to the Madonna'Ray of Light'-cosplay 'Aquamarine' atop a house beat and its chantable, spoken chorus: 'The world is my oyster / Baby, come touch the pearl / The world is my oyster / And I'm the only girl.' Humor and girlhood are intertwined with less of a Sabrina Carpenter-wink and more of cheery irony. ' Money loves me,' she yells on 'Money Is Everything.' 'I'm the richest girl in the world!' Then, a giggle and a kiss. ('Girl,' to this writer's count, is uttered 20 times across the album. Across its 12 tracks, she is both the divine feminine and the girl next door. Often, they are one in the same.) Rae isn't reinventing the wheel here, but she is carefully pulling from her inspirations. Her story recalls Britney Spears: The pair are from Louisiana, became famous young, and recorded their unique, sensual, layered pop music in Stockholm, Sweden, in and around super producer Max Martin. There's the earned Lana Del Rey parity, like in the 'Born to Die'-channeling 'Diet Pepsi,' echoes of Charli in the bouncy opener ' New York,' and tinges of ethereal Enya production on the dreamy 'Summer Forever.' For 'Addison,' Rae partnered with two primary collaborators – Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who goes simply by Elvira – an unusually small team for a major label pop release. But that intimacy is one of the album's superpowers, a sensibility that teeters between close mic recordings and big late-night anthems. In the latter case, look no further than 'Fame Is a Gun,' an easy song-of-the-summer contender, a sunglasses-in-the-club banger with synthetic vocal textures and an unignorable chorus. In the lead up to the release of 'Addison,' Rae has positioned her early TikTok fame as a means to an end. There aren't many avenues to Hollywood from Lafayette, Louisiana, and social media, for some, is a democratizing tool. Rae used her dance training to build a name for herself on the platform, something that has no doubt laid an ideal foundation for pop superstardom – just consider how Justin Bieber did something similar with covers on YouTube not so many years ago. It feels full circle, then, that Rae's stellar debut album aims to do what her videos on TikTok attempted to do, what she's always wanted to do — dance, and get others to dance, too.

‘How much can one person take?': Posy Sterling on her intense portrayal of a mum trapped in custody hell
Each morning before filming Lollipop, Posy Sterling took a giant bucket outside, filled it with ice and climbed in. Never mind that it was November or that her call time was at 5am; the actor would take daily dips in the freezing water in the dark. In Lollipop, Sterling plays a headstrong mother who has recently been released from prison and is fighting to win back her kids. The role is heavy, but the ice baths meant she started the days feeling light. 'I just found it euphoric,' she says. Tickled, her driver started bringing her more ice as part of her ritual. Today, Sterling, 32, is similarly full of beans, buzzing from two coffees and fresh from six weeks in New York. 'I haven't slept,' she says brightly. The actor has been quietly building her profile since Screen International named her one of 2023's Stars of Tomorrow, with performances in the Saoirse Ronan addiction drama The Outrun and Benedict Andrews's buzzy take on The Cherry Orchard at the Donmar Warehouse in London, which has just finished a run off Broadway. We're meeting in an office in north London, where Sterling is excited to talk about her first leading role in a film. 'I share a fire with Molly,' she says of her character in Lollipop. Sterling is breezy and charming, but there is an intensity to the way she speaks. She says she related to Molly's 'refusal to be reduced', despite the difficulties she faces. In the film, Molly lives in a tent while on a waiting list for a one-bedroom flat. It is the only kind of accommodation she can apply for as a single, unmarried woman, but in order to live with both her children, she needs at least two bedrooms. As if things weren't hard enough, Molly has just spent the last four months in prison. According to the Prison Reform Trust, 58% of prison sentences given to women in England and Wales in 2022 were for less than six months. 'And yet the repercussions of what someone like Molly is going through can last a lifetime,' Sterling says. 'Usually they're reacting to the environment they're in,' she adds, listing poverty, addiction and domestic violence as typical contributing factors. 'A different punishment could be served instead of a prison sentence.' She pauses and laughs darkly. 'Or help, maybe?' The film is written and directed by Daisy-May Hudson, who made the 2015 documentary Half Way, about her and her family's experience of homelessness, when she was just 24. Lollipop is Hudson's first fiction film but it is driven by a similar mission: to expose the bureaucracy that punishes people who have fallen through the cracks of society, and to show their joy and resilience. Sterling is electric as Molly, blazing with intelligence and maternal rage. 'What I really like about what Daisy-May chose to do, is that she doesn't ever say why Molly went to prison,' Sterling says. 'That doesn't define a person, and it doesn't tell you anything, actually, about who they are,' though 'it's probably the first thing people would ask'. The film resists offering up Molly's crime as a way of justifying her situation. Instead, Hudson presents a character study of a flawed, fiercely loving woman trying her best to be a 'good' mum. Sterling doesn't have children of her own but, before Lollipop, had already spent time researching pregnancy in prisons for another role. Sweatbox was produced by Clean Break, a celebrated theatre company whose cast and crew are made up of women affected by the criminal justice system. Set entirely in a prison van and following three women as they are transported between prison and court, the play was turned into a short film, which caught the eye of Lollipop's casting director, Lucy Pardee, a regular collaborator of Andrea Arnold. Sterling read the script for Lollipop seven times before her audition, because how prison affects mothers was something she 'cared about already'. In order to build the character of Molly, Sterling had conversations with a woman who had fought to regain custody of her children after they were removed. 'She would tell me viscerally what her body went through when this happened to her, which was something I was able to draw on when playing Molly,' she says. In the film's most devastating scene, the stoic Molly finally crumbles, letting out an animal howl of pain on the floor of a social services building. Sterling tears up when I mention it. 'It felt quite ancestral, to be honest,' she says. 'It's important that you see how something is just affecting someone. How much can one person take?' Sterling was born in Manchester in 1992, and spent her childhood in north London and, later, Market Harborough in Leicestershire. She is one of eight, including stepsiblings. Sterling and her younger siblings were born quite close together but have different accents because of where they grew up. She says she was 'massively protective' of them. 'I was separated from my siblings for a time,' she explains cautiously, and 'was moved around quite a lot growing up'. The experience of being in so many different situations gave her a fascination with people-watching and quietly psychoanalysing behaviour. 'I don't want to say I was naughty,' she says, but at school, the label stuck. 'I was always very passionate,' she adds, two deep dimples emerging. 'But I was quite rebellious.' Performing was an escape while growing up and Sterling, a gifted singer, would put on shows and direct anyone within earshot. She applied to Italia Conti drama school, whose alumni include Lesley Manville and Naomi Campbell. 'Basically I did get in, before Clean Break,' she says. Sterling declines to talk about the circumstances that led her to Clean Break, but explains that 'to be a service user [at the organisation], you do have to tick some boxes' – Clean Break being for women who have either been affected by the criminal justice system or are at risk of offending. In 2015 she joined Clean Break's Young Artists programme, which she describes as 'a second chance for a lot of women'. When Sterling was referred there, she remembers that she didn't want anything to do with acting. 'I felt things deeply and had started to do my healing,' she says, and so the prospect of ploughing her emotions 'felt like that would be too much'. The programme was an opportunity 'to turn pain and experience into something', as well as an instructive lesson that acting is not the same as therapy. 'Sometimes at drama schools, they try to get you to dig and unearth all the worst things in your life, whereas somewhere like Clean Break, they are nurturing you as a person. It's not always about 'How do you get into character?' but 'How do you get out of character?'' Italia Conti 'held my place' and Sterling graduated in 2016. To be an actor, she says, you need life experience – something that nobody can teach. 'But you need to have the skill to approach characters, and to be able to access parts of yourself in a way that isn't going to re-traumatise you.' In Lollipop, Sterling's soulful performance feels authentic, but it is precise and crafted. It impressed her former mentor, Zawe Ashton, who was introduced to Sterling through Clean Break. In an email, Ashton says Lollipop was the first acting work she had seen from Sterling. She said her performance was 'full of primal feeling and nuance' and left her 'truly awestruck … Posy is that electrifying blend of trained technique and raw emotion.' Sterling is also a gifted vocalist and sings in the film. She is 'learning the guitar at the moment' and has been 'jamming the blues' with musicians she met in New York. During an early Clean Break performance, her rendition of a Frank Sinatra number caught the ear of Jane Winehouse, stepmother of Amy, who invited her to participate in the Amy's Yard outreach programme, which supports vulnerable young musicians. Sterling wrote and recorded a song in Winehouse's studio, and met the producer Mark Ronson at a gala 10 years ago. The experience was a turning point that 'connected me to myself again', she says. A few weeks ago in New York, at a performance of The Cherry Orchard, the actor Grace Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep, was in the audience. She was so taken by the play that she brought Ronson, her husband, with her to see it again the following day. Sterling did a double take when she saw him while on stage. 'They were meant to be going to another show, and she traded the tickets in to come back to see it a second time,' says Sterling. It was a full-circle moment, reminding her of just how much has happened during the last decade. Sterling credits Clean Break and the outreach programmes she took part in with instilling self-belief at a time when she had little. 'They really want you to see what they see,' she says. 'Then it feels like there's been a reason for all of this.' Lollipop is in cinemas from 13 June.

Warring ex-couple Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson reunite for daughter's graduation in LA
Jessica Simpson appeared downcast Wednesday night as she reunited with estranged husband Eric Johnson to celebrate their daughter Maxwell's graduation in Los Angeles. Dressed in a simple yet elegant black dress, the 44-year-old pop star kept a serious expression while spotted outside a restaurant with the former NFL player, 45. The two, who legally separated in January after a decade of marriage, seemed to be marking the milestone with a low-key family dinner. Jessica stood with her arms crossed and managed only a faint smile as the couple's three children—Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 6—waited nearby outside the restaurant. Despite the tension, Eric remained courteous, opening the restaurant door for Jessica as they arrived and left the venue. The two rode in the same vehicle, though Jessica sat in the front passenger seat while Eric took the back, with a driver behind the wheel, per witnesses. Simpson publicly announced their separation earlier this year, and in a song released in March, she appeared to hint at infidelity—sparking speculation that cheating may have played a role in the split. Simpson — who once referred to Eric as her 'sexual shaman' — launched a musical comeback in March with her savage track Leave, which appears to insinuate Johnson stepped out on her. The lyrics - which involve telling a lover to leave - include: 'What we had was magic/Now you've made it tragic/Giving her what you gave to me/Now the well that you drank from is empty.' 'Your weakness made me lonely/Unholy matrimony/Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?/She's everything but me.' She then sings about the man thinking about the other woman while having sex with her, stating she'd 'rather die than let you be inside me with her on your mind.' Around the same time, Jessica appeared to open up about the moment she confronted Eric just before their marriage officially crumbled.
