EXCLUSIVE Actress who starred in iconic on-screen love triangle steps out with actor husband of 40+ years...can you guess who?
Her breakout role as a young college graduate caught in one of the most iconic love triangles in cinematic history saw her catapulted to stardom in the late 60s - and even earned her an Oscar nomination. From there, the Hollywood star went on to gain further recognition for her part in a critically acclaimed 1969 Western alongside Paul Newman and Robert Redford, followed by stellar performances in a string of thrillers and horror films. It was on the set of one of those films - in 1978 - that the now retired actress met her famously deep-voiced and mustachioed future fifth husband, to whom she remains married to this day. Though the silver-screen veteran is no longer acting, she is still turning heads, more recently, while stepping out in Malibu with her fellow actor hubby. The silver-haired couple were spotted enjoying a meal together with an elderly friend in exclusive photos. Can you guess who it is? It's Katharine Ross! Now 85, Ross was spotted with husband Sam Elliott, 80, grabbing lunch with a female pal during a rare public outing. The three dined at Café Habana, a chic Malibu hotspot owned by Cindy Crawford 's entrepreneur husband, Rande Gerber. Despite her advanced years, Ross looked sprightly and effortlessly stylish in a sage-colored light jacket (which happened to match her husband's sweater), blue jeans, sneakers, and a cream-colored scarf. Elliott was a considerate gentleman and helped the elderly lady to and from the restaurant following the trio's hour-long lunch. He was also dressed casually in a green top, black jeans and sneakers. Despite her advanced years, Ross appeared sprightly - and still chic - wearing a sage-colored light jacket - which happened to match her husband's sweater Ross, a California native, made her TV debut in the early 60s before landing her career-defining role in 1967 film The Graduate, where she played Elaine Robinson, the conflicted daughter of the infamous Mrs. Robinson. Two years later she cemented het status as a screen icon as schoolteacher Etta Place, the only significant female character in 1969 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It was in that movie - now regarded as one of the greatest American films - that she and co-star Paul Newman, who played Butch Cassidy, famously rode on a bicycle together in an iconic scene. Just a few years later, Ross would land a role in supernatural horror film, The Legacy, where Elliott would play her on-screen boyfriend. The two would tie the knot six years later in 1984, and marked their 40th anniversary in May 2024. Prior to marrying Elliott, Ross had endured a series of short-lived marriages to four different men. But her marriage to her fifth husband remarkably has withstood the test of time - and Hollywood - and appears as strong as ever today. The couple has been based in LA ever since and have one daughter, Cleo, now 40. And while his wife gracefully left the limelight about six years ago, Elliott remains active in Hollywood, even earning an Oscar nomination in 2019 for his role in A Star Is Born. Elliott gained recognition following his breakthrough role in 1976 drama Lifeguard and then as a character actor, but saw a career resurgence back in 2015 after appearing as a regular in Netflix series The Ranch. More recently he starred as grizzled cowboy Shea Brennan in 1883, the prequel to hit Paramount+ show Yellowstone.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford, 59, goes makeup free for lunch date with husband Rande Gerber
Cindy Crawford opted to go makeup free for a lunch date with husband Rande Gerber. The supermodel, 59, was enjoying a snack as they left La Nena Cantina in Malibu on Tuesday. Cindy showed off her glowing complexion as she opted to go natural for their afternoon outing. She complimented her natural look with a black tank top and leggings, paired with a white sweater tied around her waist. Meanwhile Rande looked casual in his surf inspired look, holding on to a to-go beverage from the establishment. Last year, Cindy celebrated 20 years of her skincare brand Meaningful Beauty. The brand has been incredibly successful thanks to its engaging infomercials. To date the company is worth around $500M and Cindy owns half of it. On Instagram the mother to model Kaia Gerber shared two photos of herself: one taken in the 80s and the other more recent. She was wearing the same black leather motorcycle jacket in both frames. '@meaningfulbeauty turns 20! ✨ To help us celebrate share a photo of yourself at 20 years old vs you today,' she wrote in her caption. 'Grateful to have spent the last two decades working with an amazing team, learning so much about beauty and business — and helping women feel their best at every age. Happy birthday to MB! Thank you all for keeping us going! #MB20.' In the past Cindy has said the brand is important: 'Feeling beautiful can give women self-confidence at every age. That's the foundation of Meaningful Beauty. Achieving healthy, glowing skin is a reflection of taking good care of yourself and accepting who you are. After that, you can go enjoy your life.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cindy Crawford (@cindycrawford) Cindy also says on her website: 'As a young supermodel, I visited world-renowned cosmetic specialist Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh at his clinic in Paris. After my first treatment of super antioxidants from a rare melon in the South of France, I saw instant, glowing results. 'Dr. Sebagh and I developed Meaningful Beauty as an easy-to-use system that delivers younger-looking skin by combining science, technology and nature. The powerful melon super antioxidants are the secret to the formula.' It was added: 'It was Dr. Sebagh's idea of using effective skincare to maintain skin's youthful look that resonated with me. He always says, "It's never too late and it's never too early to start." 'This idea of "age maintenance" is part of the Meaningful Beauty philosophy. Consistency in skincare and healthy lifestyle habits are how you achieve that.' This comes after she talked about her parents. The Playboy alum admitted that she began outlearning her parents at 18. 'I started modeling in Chicago, and in Chicago, it's a small pond, so I was the big fish pretty quickly there,' the catwalk queen said while appearing on the Kelly Corrigan Wonders podcast with Christy Turlington. She added, 'And I was making more money than my parents made, more money than they could ever have even dreamed of.' After her brother Jeffery died of childhood leukemia at age 3 in 1975, Crawford's quick wealth made her feel like 'I was the son in a weird way.' 'Like, when I got married and didn't change my name, [my dad] was like, 'Yeah, the Crawford name will go on!'' she recalled. 'I was able to help where I could,' added Crawford. 'I don't feel like I became the dad.' Crawford noted that she's 'been able to take [her family] on nice vacations,' following her January girls trip to Miami with mother Jennifer and sisters Chris and Danielle.

‘They're not selling fashion – they're selling a dream': the latest celebrity clan in clothes
First came the Kardashians. Then the Beckham clan. Now the Crawford-Gerbers are positioning themselves as the next family superpower in fashion. Last week, Cindy Crawford, her husband, Rande Gerber, and their two children, Kaia and Presley, announced a 'first-of-its-kind partnership' with the Californian sportswear and lifestyle brand Vuori. Kicking things off with a campaign, it sees the menage frolicking in front of a Malibu beach house, all long limbs, glowing skin and gleaming Hollywood smiles. The British PR consultant and author Mark Borkowski describes the decision by the Crawford-Gerbers to mould as a single entity as 'intergenerational branding'. While the Kardashians have set the precedent for monetising the family brand, Borkowski thinks the Crawford-Gerbers' approach seems less opportunistic. 'They are playing a much longer and more subtle game.' He points to Crawford and Gerber's long, scandal-free marriage as their commercial secret weapon. 'Brands don't want controversy. They know they aren't going to do a stupid Instagram stunt and have to pick up the pieces. They're not selling fashion – they're selling a dream.' Shot by the fashion photographer Cass Bird, the Vuori campaign encapsulates the old-school American dream, in images that ooze health and wealth. The family fool around in a palm tree-shaded garden, take a spin on a boat, pose in front of a seaplane and, at one point, Kaia and Rande play guitar on their beachfront deck. They are all, of course, wearing Vuori's signature buttery soft sweatpants, tank tops and half-zip hoodies. Crawford sums up the reason why they got in bed with the brand: 'Vuori is all about a lifestyle we live everyday.' Crawford was an early adopter of the slashie career. Ever since she landed her first Vogue cover in 1986, she has worked to transform herself from fashion model to a standalone brand. There's been a multimillion campaign deal with Pepsi, a 30-year (and counting) brand ambassadorship with Swiss watch brand Omega, home workout videos, her own furniture brand and her beauty line. Everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has emulated her approach to business. Meanwhile, Gerber, her husband of 27 years, is an ex-model turned business entrepreneur who founded the tequila brand Casamigos with George Clooney and sold it to Diageo in 2017 in a $1bn deal. Now husband and wife are expanding their empire – and this time the focus is on the family unit. While Presley, 25, started modelling at 16, he has recently focused on using his Instagram platform as an advocate for mental health. Meanwhile Kaia, 23, has been following in her mum's footsteps. She became the face of Marc Jacobs beauty at 15, and has walked for every major catwalk brand, including Chanel and Valentino, and has nabbed a string of campaigns and magazine covers. But she's not only involved in fashion. She has also explored acting, with roles in Bottoms and Palm Royale. Then there is her online bookclub Library Science, for which she has interviewed writer Jia Tolentino and discussed the work of novelist Eve Babitz with the singer Gracie Abrams. Oh, and she has 10 million followers on Instagram. In 2016, Crawford first suggested that her family may have cross-generational appeal when she appeared on the cover of Vogue Paris with Kaia. Nine years later, they are ramping up their influence. The 2003 TV documentary The Supers introduced Cindy to gen Z. Last week, Crawford and Kaia hosted a live online shopping event for the high street giant Zara. And on Monday, Kaia was announced as the new face of Mango. By focusing on high street brands and upmarket lifestyle labels, Borkowski says the duo 'fuse mass accessibility with stealth-wealth aspiration'.

George Clooney's Casamigos sued for allegedly charging ‘super premium prices' for less than pure agave tequila
George Clooney, or at least his tequila, may not be as smooth as he makes out. The Hollywood star helped make Casamigos the fourth best-selling tequila brand in the world, but it's now the subject of a lawsuit claiming consumers have been paying 'super premium prices' for an inferior quality product. Casamigos and another premium tequila brand, Don Julio, both claim they are made exclusively with 100% Blue Weber agave and retail for $50 to $150 per bottle as a result. Cheaper tequilas, known as 'mixtos,' require only 51% of the sugar in them comes from the agave plant, with the remainder usually ordinary cane sugar. 3 George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Ric Edelman sold Casamigos to Diageo for nearly $1 billion. The new class-action lawsuit against Diageo, the parent company which owns both brands, claims that according to lab tests, a significant amount of the alcohol in Casamigos and Don Julio (who was a real person) is actually from cane sugar, which is much cheaper to produce. The federal suit was filed earlier this week in the Eastern New York division of the US District Court by Avi Pusatezri, a New Yorker who owns a company that teaches mixology, Chaim Mishulovin, and restaurant Sushi Tokyo. The plaintiffs are seeking $5 million each in damages. The case cites a new form of testing that can determine whether tequila has been adulterated with cane sugar. Ironically for tequila enthusiasts, if the lawsuit proves true, it would suggest they have been drinking potentially inferior products without noticing a significant difference. 3 According to a class-action suit, Don Julio may not be from 100% agave as it advertises. Getty Images for Haute Living In a statement, the firm behind the suit, Hagens Berman, told me, 'Diageo marketed its tequila brands as 'luxury' and 'super-premium' and sold them at prices that reflected those promises to consumers. Diageo is one of the biggest companies in this industry, but it's not above the law, and we believe this deception has a real price tag.' The lawsuit is a fresh headache for Diageo after it only recently resolved longstanding disputes with Diddy over his Ciroc vodka and Deleon tequila brands. Although Clooney and business partner Randy Gerber sold Casamigos to British company Diageo for $1 billion in 2017, the deal was staggered over the next ten years and included the pair staying on as brand ambassadors, according to the BBC. The company's website and social media still prominently feature them both and Gerber's wife, Cindy Crawford, has also appeared in promotional pics. 3 George Clooney launched the tequila brand with his co-founder more than a decade ago. Getty Images 'These claims of adulteration are outrageous and categorically false; Don Julio and Casamigos tequilas are crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave and are in full compliance with the official tequila standard … We look forward to vigorously defending the quality and integrity of our Tequilas in court,' a spokesperson for Diageo said. Clooney did not immediately return a request for comment. This story is part of NYNext, an indispensable insider insight into the innovations, moonshots and political chess moves that matter most to NYC's power players (and those who aspire to be). While the suit is focused on two of Diageo's tequilas, one liquor executive told me the lawsuit could spark a reckoning in the booze industry and, if the testing holds up, spread to other premium brands. 'Anything that erodes trust in the industry isn't good,' he said, noting that many in the younger generation are embracing sobriety or 'California sober' lifestyles (avoiding alcohol and hard drugs, but still smoking weed). The lawsuit also underscores tensions between skilled agave farmers who grow the crops which make the premium product and the corporations which leverage celebrities such as Clooney to market their products and retain most of the profits. Unlike wineries, which typically grow grapes, produce wine, and distribute it, most agave farmers do not control the production or distribution of tequila. On the flip side, the lawsuit should prompt consumers to pay closer attention to what they're drinking and where it comes from.

'When we visited Vuori's headquarters, what stood out wasn't just the business, but the real, personal connections we all formed – it wasn't about deals, it was about shared stories and a mutual respect that made Joe say, 'We need to do something bigger together.' And that's what sets Vuori apart: no matter how fast they grow, they keep that intimate, ego-free community where people surf at lunch, celebrate each other's wins, and stay true to the soul of Southern California living.'
