Una Healy looked ethereal in white as she enjoyed Fourth of July celebrations at the US Ambassador's residence in Dublin on Thursday.
The Saturdays singer, 43, stunned in a £525 Nadine Merabi bridal-style jumpsuit which featured removable diamanté straps and a detachable embellished belt.
She added inches to her sculpted frame as she slipped into a pair of towering silver stilettos.
Stood outside the white residence, which was draped in larger US flags, Una joined Ireland's 'Swing king' Luke Martin Thomas.
Luke looked classically handsome as he stepped out in a sophisticated black tuxedo, complete with a dickie bow and red pocket handkerchief.
Sharing an album of snaps to Instagram, Una penned: 'Early happy 4th of July from the US Ambassadors residence'
Una appeared in good spirits in her most recent Instagram post, just a few months after her ex-husband Ben Foden announced he's returning to the UK after living in the US for the last six years.
The news was welcomed by The Saturdays singer, who earlier in March opened about her struggle with him living so far away from their two children.
'I'm excited to announce that I will be returning to the UK to take on the role of Director of Rugby at Scarborough College and Head Coach for Scarborough RFC, starting September 1st,' Ben previously announced on Instagram.
The former rugby player has been living in the US for the last six years with his wife Jackie and their daughters Farrah, four, and Olympia, 12 months.
'This is an incredible opportunity to reconnect with family and immerse myself once again in the rugby world,' he added.
'As I step into this role, my goal is to help drive the growth and development of Scarborough College's rugby program, ensuring it competes at the highest level alongside the top schools in the region.'
Una recently split from her jockey boyfriend Aidan Coleman, and shares Aoife, 12, and Tadhg, 10, with Ben.
After the news emerged of her split from Aidan, she was pictured with newly-single co-star Danny Cipriani leaving in a taxi together at the Celebrity Bear Hunt premiere afterparty.
Speaking earlier this month about Ben to OK! Magazine, Una said: 'It's unfortunate that he lives so far away. We don't have the 'every other weekend' set-up.
'I get on with Ben as best I can for the sake of the children. I want them to love him and for him to be there as much as he can for them.
'Divorce is a difficult, heartbreaking process whether you're in the public eye or not. But you move on – there's no point dwelling on the past.'
Speaking about the heartbreaking split for the first time, Una said her stint on Celebrity Bear Hunt forced her to 'dust herself off and try again' and move 'onwards and upwards'.
Una praised the Netflix show and Bear Grylls for giving her the boost to keep going amid her break-up.
When asked if she has split from Aidan, she said: 'Yes, I'm not going to talk about that – it's onwards and upwards.
'I think I'm prepared for anything coming out of this jungle experience. I feel very tough from it, and I think you have to be tough in life.
'Dust yourself off, try again and believe in yourself – all those things. That's one of the things Bear Grylls said to me.
'He gives us all a pep talk, and he said, 'The one thing I admire about you is your never give up attitude'. I would say that to everyone, just never give up.'
It comes a few months after her ex-husband Ben Foden announced he's returning to the UK after living in the US for the last six years (Ben pictured in 2018)
In a sad confession earlier in March, Una discussed the difficulties of being a single mother and the struggles of co-parenting with Ben, who lives in America (pictured together in 2016)
Una was married to rugby star Ben from 2012 until 2018 but divorced after he was unfaithful to her.
She started dating Limerick hurler David Breen later that year but had split with him by February 2020.
In his new announcement post, Ben added: 'I see this as a fantastic chance to develop as a coach, learning from my experiences while also drawing inspiration from others around me.
'The rugby scene in the northeast is filled with potential, and I truly believe we are on the cusp of something big.
'It's a privilege to be part of that journey, and I'm excited to contribute to the future of rugby in this vibrant community.
'Rugby has profoundly shaped my life, providing me with countless experiences, lessons, and memories that I will always treasure.
'While I have truly valued the time spent away from the sport, I have come to realize that nothing can replace the unique emotions, challenges, and excitement that being involved in rugby brings.
'The camaraderie, the triumphs, the setbacks, and the unwavering drive to push oneself—these are elements that are irreplaceable, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.'
He continued: 'The sport has given me so much more than I could ever express, and it remains an essential part of who I am. I
'It is for these very reasons that I am excited to return to the rugby community, this time as Director of Rugby and Head coach at Scarborough College and RFC, where I can share my passion and knowledge, and continue to be a part of the sport I love.
'Special thanks to Guy Emmett, Graeme Young, Dan Scargill and of course my rock star wife @snackyjax and family for their unwavering support and effort.'

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump ‘are wedding bells serious' as smitten couple's relationship takes major step forward

TIGER WOODS and Vanessa Trump are reportedly almost ready to take the next step in their relationship. It was first revealed in March that the legendary golfer, 49, was dating Trump, 47. 3 3 They had originally hoped to keep the relationship under wraps. Amid rampant speculation, Woods eventually confirmed they were dating weeks later. But now their romance is heating up fast. So fast, that according to Page Six, they may even be considering marriage in the not too distant future. A source told the outlet: "They're very serious. "Wedding bells serious." The source added: "She's so happy! "She's finally found happiness. "She's found happiness for the first time in her life." Two-time PGA Tour winner Brian Henninger exclusively told SunSport how their blossoming romance had surprised him. I played golf with Tiger Woods but he was a ghost behind the scenes - his romance with Vanessa Trump surprised me He said: 'Tiger Woods is not a person you're going to go and hang out with. 'He's not eating with you in the lunchroom. He's pleasant though. He'd say 'Hi Brian'. He knows a little bit about everybody, he does his research. 'I'll never forget the first time I met him. We were at the Western Open, we're in this fitness trailer, they were stretching us or something. 'He goes 'hey, I saw your Trojans got beat by Stanford the other night'. I mean, I've never met him. So I think he's one of those prepared guys in any situation. 'Behind the scenes, he was a ghost to most of us. We didn't really know about his life off the course. We know what the media shared with us, but I didn't really know that lifestyle. 'He was a natural show off. He had so much popularity and it's incredible. 'I didn't get to travel and own mansions, private jets and have Michael Jordan as my best friend…even though I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that stuff. 'But he didn't show signs on the golf course of being affected by any of it. 'Scottie Scheffler is coming along doing similar things. I don't know all the matrix behind it, but they are very close in terms of how many times they've won at a certain age and all the accomplishments. 'They can just turn it on and off. I mean, they get to the golf course and they're like different human beings." 3

Deshaun Watson announces major life update with girlfriend Jilly Anais on social media

Controversial NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson has announced his marriage to longtime girlfriend Jilly Anais on Instagram, with a pair of photos shared through their accounts. The Cleveland Browns star and Anais tied the knot on Thursday, which also marked their sixth anniversary of dating, having started a relationship in 2019. What teammates attended his wedding are unclear, as Watson has had a rocky stay in Cleveland. Watson's $230million guaranteed contract has not paid dividends for the Browns, who have not won a playoff game since before he came to Cleveland. The 29-year-old Watson was seen as a future star in the league several years ago with the Houston Texans, with his career being detailed after being accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women. Those accusers' claims led to Watson being suspended for 11 games during the 2022 NFL season. The brief glimpse into Watson's wedding day however showed him wearing a white dress shirt with gold lettering stitched into his cuff that read '07.03.25'. The lettering matches his glitzy gold watch with Watson also wearing a jewelry-encrusted wedding band. Anais is seen wearing a huge wedding ring, doubled up with her wedding band, as her nails are painted pink and white. Anais dress appears to be the traditional white, while Watson also looks to be in a shade of white, with matching pants and shoes. Other details of the joyous day for Watson and Anais are private as of Friday, with the quarterback having the day away from any drama with the Browns. The team also has veteran Joe Flacco, journeyman backup Kenny Pickett, and rookie's Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Sanders himself has come under fire, as he is amid a speeding scandal, with two egregious violations behind the wheel. ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi believes that Sanders' roster spot isn't 'guaranteed' and projects he'll have to improve to move up the depth chart. Watson is expected to miss all of the 2025 season with an Achilles injury, which could make a path to a roster spot easier for Sanders, as the team will likely carry three quarterbacks, and possibly one more on its practice squad.

Meghan Markle posts loved-up snap alongside Prince Harry as she gushes over their kids on Fourth of July

Meghan Markle has posted a loved-up snap alongside husband Prince Harry as she gushed over their kids on Fourth of July. The 43-year-old appeared to have a very active day on social media during Independence Day, posting across both her personal and As Ever Instagram accounts. The Duchess of Sussex began by flaunting her sold-out raspberry spread in a promotional video that has since been branded by viewers as 'embarrassing.' But she has now shared a more personal touch in her latest family-orientated upload. The carousel of images showcased a platter of handmade cupcakes, a close-up of one of the tasty treats and a third image of Meghan cozying up to Harry. The mom-of-two, in reference to their kids Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana, wrote in the caption: 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. 'Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition.' She added: 'Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes.' Earlier in the day, also in honor of the July 4 holiday, Meghan posted a clip to her As Ever Instagram page showcasing a charcuterie board she had put together - but it has not gone down well with viewers. In the video, Meghan introduced her board as 'easy entertaining,' and decorated a wooden platter with various fruits, cheeses, and crackers, as well as her sold-out, $14 As Ever raspberry spread. She looked summer-chic in an oversized, blue-and-white striped button down as she filmed from what appeared to be her own kitchen in Montecito, California. While she assembled the board, the Duchess, 43, carefully started off by arranging fruits like raspberries and cherries, then added some star-shaped cheese and blueberries, along with some crackers and slices of sourdough bread. To finish things off, she took a brand-new container of her raspberry spread, which went on sale as part of the first As Ever drop in April, and scooped it into a small dish. However, the spread sold out within a half hour of it going on sale, leaving many fans dying to get their hands on it. As she put the spread onto the board, she accidentally dropped a raspberry into it, laughing as she popped it into her mouth. 'Happy 4th of July!' the caption of the video read. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently took their two kids to Disneyland Earlier in the day, also in honor of the July 4 holiday, Meghan posted a clip to her As Ever Instagram page showcasing a charcuterie board she had put together - but it has not gone down well with viewers Meghan also posted a similar clip to her personal Instagram page just minutes later, @meghan, where she showed followers an aerial view of her assembling the festive platter. On Reddit, some royal fans slammed the video as 'basic,' as one person even compared her creation to an outdated post on Pinterest. 'I love a board, especially a themed one, but bless her heart for thinking this is new and/or unique. Also, the faux calligraphy and the unnecessary flowers are eyeroll inducing,' one person wrote. Another agreed, 'Cough! Let's go copy something from Pinterest, and hey make sure you get the jewelry into the shot... oh! yeah, got to show off the stupid handwriting.' 'I think it looks good if my regular friend/neighbor did it. They're not trying to sell an elevated lifestyle brand.... it's embarrassing,' someone else typed.
