Sophie Turner oozes elegance in a white two-piece as she stuns in drinks photoshoot after her ex Joe Jonas revealed 'scary' part of their divorce
Sophie Turner looked as glamorous as ever as she posed up a storm for a new photoshoot and video with drinks brand St-Germain. The actress, 29, has returned as the face of the elderflower liqueur for a show-stopping new summer campaign and dazzled in the stunning imagery. Sophie oozed elegance in a stylish ensemble worth over £1,450 as she channelled French Riviera style after the glitz and glamour of Cannes Film Festival. She showed off her incredible figure in a fitted white linen two-piece from Reformation, made up of a vest top and pleated skirt, which costs £298. Styled by Emma Jade Morrison, the Game Of Thrones star added a few extra inches to her height in a pair of £695 mule heels from Manolo Blahnik. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She let her understated outfit do all the talking as she kept her accessories minimal and shielded her eyes with £460 shades from Khaite x Oliver Peoples. Sophie posed up a storm in a conservatory for a series of gorgeous snaps before she lounged on a deckchair outside and soaked up the rays. She sipped on St-Germain's Hugo Spritz - made with its elderflower liqueur, Prosecco and soda water - as she advertised the brand's summery cocktail. Sophie has returned as the face of the brand and her rom-com inspired advertising video, shot in the south of France, serves as a sequel to her popular last campaign. The video showed Sophie eagerly awaiting the arrival of a mystery man, prompting her whip up an array of summery cocktails before ordering in an easy takeaway. Sophie said of the collaboration: 'I'm thrilled to continue my partnership with St-Germain, a brand that not only embodies my philosophy of embracing the lighter side of life, but also makes me look pretty good behind a bar. 'I'm excited to finally show off my bartending skills in this summer's sequel and, whilst I might not be a chef, when it comes to making the perfect drink, I've definitely found my signature – the St-Germain Hugo Spritz.' St-Germain will launch the campaign with events at some of the world's most vibrant events and hotspots, from London's rooftop bars to St. Tropez and the Amalfi Coast. The Game Of Thrones star added a few extra inches to her height in a pair of £695 mule heels from Manolo Blahnik Sophie's latest venture comes after she hinted at where she stands with her ex-husband Joe Jonas, less than two years after their contentious separation. The couple tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding in 2019 and welcomed two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, before splitting in September 2023. After Joe filed for divorce, they were plunged into a rancorous legal battle that played out in the headlines, before they reached a settlement one year later. And earlier this week, in an Instagram post, Sophie hinted she is now on good terms with Joe by showing support for her ex-husband's new album. She shared an image of his new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, on her Instagram Stories on Saturday. She captioned it, 'Go go @joejonas,' as she gushed over the new album, which officially dropped on Friday, May 23. Last week, Joe, 35, gave some insight into what he feels was the scariest part of getting divorced while speaking on a TalkShopLive. He talked about the inspiration behind the track Only Love from his album Music For People Who Believe In Love. 'I was seeing somebody at the time and I was kind of having this idea of dating again,' he recalled. 'It was really scary and intimidating. Love takes different shapes and forms and I was rediscovering what that was.' Joe remembered that someone he was dating - and whom he did not name - had simply told him, 'Well, it's only love. 'I was like, ''Well, when you put it that way…'' So we wrote a song about it. Like, it was not a big deal, but it was a big deal to me, and a big deal to them, too.' 'But it's okay to take a leap of faith and just try again and put yourself out there,' he added. Sophie and Joe began dating in 2016 and got engaged in October 2017 before tying the knot on May 1, 2019, in Las Vegas. In 2023, it was revealed that Joe and Sophie had split before their divorce was finalised in September 2024. Sophie, who has since moved back to the UK, previously told Harper's Bazaar of their split: 'We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard.' Speaking to British Vogue, Sophie also opened up about having a public divorce, describing it as 'the worst few days of my life'. Amid their split, the two stars underwent a custody battle over their daughters and had disagreements over where their children would reside full-time. Sophie has since been romantically linked to Peregrine Pearson, although the pair have recently been embroiled in split speculation. Joe also went on to .

Sophie Turner's Talks Summer Food Hauls, Cocktails - And Why Her Planned Glastonbury Trip Will End In Tears
Even the most well-travelled people can attest that there are few better places than London in the summer. And, just like the rest of us, you'll find Sophie Turner either pubbing or picnic-ing when the weather works in our favours. 'There's got to be some M&S nibbles on the spread,' states Turner. 'You can't go wrong with a Food Hall haul. Get some burrata, cherry tomatoes, a bit of pesto in there, bish bash bosh. And of course, everything gets washed down with some St Germain.' FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE The actress has collaborated with the elderflower liqueur brand this Summer, and for Sophie, it was an easy deal. 'My collaboration with St Germain felt really authentic for me because I genuinely use the product! The drink feels like the epitome of British Summer time - if it's a sunny day out, you can count on me having a picnic and drinking a St Germain Hugo Spritz.' For those who haven't yet rustled up a Hugo Spritz, take some St Germain, combine with sparkling wine, top it up with soda water and garnish with fresh mint and lime. Neither of us have had lunch yet when Turner and I catch up via Zoom, so I swiftly move the conversation from food and drink onto festivals to find out what Sophie's Summer is saying. 'I'm going to Glastonbury! I haven't been in about 12 years. I'm going with three of my best girl friends and I am so excited – it's going to be a blast. I can't wait to see Neil Young – Harvest Moon is my favourite song of all time. I'm just going to be standing there, crying.' Evidentially a big music fan, Turner goes through her Summer playlist with me: 'I like a lot of kind of, old stuff? I love Seabird by The Alessi Brothers, I think that's one of my all time favourites. But there're a lot of different artists on here actually; there's some Role Model, Little Simz, Glass Animals, Sierra Ferrell, Rachel Chinouriri – oh, and David Gray for some classics.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by S O P H I E T U R N E R (@sophiet) Turner's eclecticism in music definitely extends to her personal style. Her summer wardrobe comprises of basketball shorts and oversized souvenir t-shirts she's collected from various holiday locations. 'When I was younger, my Dad would go away and bring us back these t-shirts. I love the feeling of wearing mine now, as if my Dad's given them to me.' On the feet, it's a toss-up between some statement trainers; Turner picks from Wales Bonner, Miista and Alohas, 'an amazing Spanish brand. I'm looking at them right now and they're just wonderful'. A self-confessed 'jeans and a t-shirt girl', the Summer is proving proves the optimum time for Turner to push her sartorial boundaries after undergoing a colour analysis test. 'I've found out I'm a "light spring", so I'm leaning into trying those colours that suit me more – something a bit more vibrant for the warmer weather.' As a mother of two – Willa, born in 2020 and Delphine, in 2022 – Turner's approach to fashion and beauty certainly is one of style and substance, ensuring balance between fashion and functionality. 'We don't have AC in London. It's all about practicality in a summer wardrobe, for me.' Her skincare routine is a slathering of P20 sunscreen and some Weleda Skin Food. 'I just don't really have time to properly get ready anymore – I'll try and get a bit of life in me before the kids wake up but then, as the day hits 7am, I've got to hit the road and get going.' In a chic contrast to her easy-breezy demeanour, Turner has been a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton since 2017. 'I just feel more put together when I wear Vuitton' she confesses. I think, every mother has a superpower – perhaps Turner's might just be a Murakami Speedy. Despite starting her career with the blockbusting Game of Thrones at 15 years old, Turner remains totally grounded. We talk about upcoming holidays, to which she has none; she is working solidly at the moment (intriguingly, she can't disclose on what), but she is going to New York with St Germain for 'some promotional stuff, and I'll count that as a holiday'. Perhaps it is the work ethic instilled in her from being a teen, but her gratitude feels refreshing. 'It's very exciting to me. Nothing really beats New York in June. Well, I say that. Do you know what does beat New York in June? British Summer. London in good weather. There is just nothing better.' Cheers to that.
