13 Perfectly Directed Thriller Movies That Are Considered Masterpieces
There’s something inherently entertaining when it comes to a thriller. With a large group of genres under the umbrella, audiences flock to films that keep them on the edge of their seats. Maybe it’s the story or the performances that keep you engaged, but a great thriller requires excellent direction.
Throughout, there have been extraordinary masterpieces, but among those, the films on this list are perfectly directed. From legendary visionaries to directors on the rise, they share an evocative power to make a lasting impact. With countless awards and inspiring new techniques in filmmaking, these directors helmed perfect films. For this list, we are keeping it to one film per director to share the wealth of praise! There are certainly many titles that could have found their place on this list, but these films are perfect.
1
‘Taxi Driver’ (1976)
Director: Martin Scorsese
There are certainly a plethora of titles that could be considered Martin Scorsese‘s greatest work. Though he’s been nominated for several Academy Awards for Best Director, winning only one, his most impactful work, which set him on the course of an influential director, came with Taxi Driver. Also jumpstarting his long-term collaboration with Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver tells the story of Travis Bickle, an isolated, mentally unstable Vietnam War vet. He works nights as a taxi driver, due to his insomnia, in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. As he spirals due to loneliness and psychosis, Bickle turns to violence in an attempt to clean up the city. Centering on vigilante violence, Taxi Driver captures a man’s decline through a nightmarish dreamscape of isolation.
Scorsese’s film is not an easy one to watch. There are moments that are destined to make you uncomfortable. Yet, Scorsese prevents those moments from being grotesque. Instead, they serve to exemplify Bickle’s state of mind. Using pan-away shots, you start with an image of Bickle, then suddenly pull back to reveal he’s alone. It may be subtle, but it’s effective filmmaking. Then, by distorting reality through slow-motion and dream-like lighting, Scorsese forces the audience to see the world as Bickle envisions it. Taxi Driver is a deeply intimate character study that showcases how Scorsese doesn’t always need a grand ensemble to tell an effective narrative. Taxi Driver is an iconic film with an iconic character who established the ’70s in cinema. None of that could have been done without Scorsese.

‘Get Out (2017)
Director: Jordan Peele
If you told anyone in the early 2000s that MAD TV star Jordan Peele would become a horror filmmaker who effectively changed the genre, they would likely laugh. And then, in 2017, Get Out debuted, and Peele established himself as a brilliant director audiences flocked toward to see what he would craft next. It all stems back to the brilliance that is Get Out. A sensational dissertation on how the horrors of our world are the things out in the open, Get Out became the modern psychological-horror standard. Peele’s tale follows Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya), a Black photographer, as he visits his white girlfriend Rose Armitage’s (Allison Williams) parents, Missy and Dean (Catherine Keener and Bradley Whitford), for the weekend. While there, he soon discovers, thanks to the weird behavior of the Black servants and awkward microaggressions, that the family lures Black people to their estate to transplant elderly white minds into their bodies, leaving victims in a paralyzing void known as the sunken place. Chris must get out before he’s next. A haunting, meticulously directed film, Peele’s social thriller relies on psychological discomfort rather than traditional horror tropes to create an effective masterpiece.
The horror of racism could have led to an overtly on-the-nose story that didn’t capture Peele’s mission. Instead, he holds a mirror up to society while amplifying the horror elements around it. Capturing the state of the world, Get Out had an essence of believability that made it scarily real. The anxiety of Black America is a profound theme, helped by putting the audience in Chris’s shoes. As the writer and director, Peele knew this film inside and out. He expertly fleshed out his universe by making it eerily real, so by the time the truth is revealed, there is a plausibility that psychological mind games might effectively be around us. In the end, the emotional payoff is satisfying and empowering, effectively wrapping up his directorial feature debut.
3
‘Uncut Gems’ (2019)
Director: Safdie Brothers
There have been many sibling duos who became legendary directors. In the 21st century, it was Josh and Benny Safdie who joined the extraordinary list. All it took was their crime thriller, Uncut Gems. The high-stakes film follows Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a charismatic, gambling-addicted New York City jeweler. Upon acquiring a rare Ethiopian opal, he must juggle mounting debts, angry loan sharks, and his complicated family life in a relentless, high-anxiety pursuit of the ultimate winning bet. With a precisely chaotic movie, the Safdies create an engaging yet stressful atmosphere that evokes the action of Howard’s journey.
The Safdies orchestrate a realistic pandemonium to effectively create the high-stakes adventure. From frenetic handheld cameras to overlapping dialogue, the controlled chaos leads to exposing Howard’s manic anxiety and addiction. Viewers are trapped on Howard’s thrill ride, only leaving when the deed is done. Working with cinematographer Darius Khondji, sound mixer Skip Lievsay, and Daniel Lopatin‘s synth score, the overlapping elements become harmonious while being erratic, heightening the heist. As far as acting is concerned, they pulled out a career-best out of comedian Sandler, proving he deserves to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor. Uncut Gems sparkles and shines thanks to the extraordinary work of the Safdies.

‘Parasite’ (2019)
Director: Bong Joon-Ho
For the longest time, foreign-language films seemed to be on the outskirts of mainstream cinema. Then, Bong Joon-Ho‘s Parasite arrived, and that separation ceased. A true masterpiece in direction, Parasite blends dark comedy with dark thriller elements to tell the story of the Kims, a poor family who infiltrate the wealthy household of the Parks by posing as unrelated, highly qualified servants. A scathing critique of modern capitalism through the lens of class conflict, inequality, and greed, Bong’s transition from witty scam comedy into suspenseful tragedy provided for an alluring film. Parasite‘s success as the first foreign-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture relies on Bong’s sheer brilliance.
Easily Bong’s magnum opus, Parasite takes a simple premise and turns it on its head. Like the sleek home the Parks take over, Bong meticulously builds Parasite from the ground up, using the architectural blueprint to construct a sleek film. His ability to cast a stark contrast of class through every production element — costumes, set, color — leads to a seamless composition of his vision. With so many genres and themes to balance, Bong maintains an effective tone that makes Parasite a shapeshifting thriller. The natural progression of the story falls into place without question. Through subtle changes in atmosphere, through sound and lighting, the Parks’ journey becomes even more thrilling. Parasite is unapologetic, as Bong does not allow outside influence to shape the narrative of classism in society. Parasite might be presented from a Korean perspective, but Bong’s ability to make it largely universal allowed the film to be the mainstream hit that it is.

‘No Country For Old Men’ (2007)
Director: Joel and Ethan Coen
Very few directors know how to make an atmosphere a thrill in and of itself quite like Joel and Ethan Coen. With a brilliant resume behind them, they made their mark in the 2000s with their neo-Western crime thriller No Country for Old Men. Using Cormac McCarthy‘s 2005 novel as inspiration, the story follows a trio of men: Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam War veteran and welder who stumbles upon a large sum of money in the desert; Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a hitman who is sent to recover the money; and Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a sheriff investigating the crime while battling a changing world he feels ill-equipped to handle. Set in the vast desert landscape of 1980 West Texas, the Coen brothers’ masterpiece is a story that isn’t about who ends up with the loot; it’s about the chase between the hunter and the hunted, a role each of the main characters adopts throughout the film.
A masterclass in visual storytelling, the Coens’ ability to build suspense through silence and ambient natural sounds heightens the tension, dropping viewers into a bleak, desolate landscape that mirrors the grim, philosophical approach to their story. No Country for Old Men showcases how capturing the precise atmosphere leads to a perfect movie. As far as characters go, the collaboration between the directors and their star brought out one of the 21st century’s most recognizable villains in Anton Chigurh. Lifted effortlessly from page to screen, just his gaze alone strikes immediate fear. No wonder Bardem earned an Oscar for his performance! As did the Coens. They have made cult classics and impressionable offbeat dark comedies, but nothing has ever been quite like their achievement with No Country for Old Men.
6
‘Eyes Wide Shut’ (1999)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
It’s safe to say that Stanley Kubrick can do extraordinary work in literally any genre of cinema. For his final project, Kubrick took Arthur Schnitzler’s novella, Dream Story, and brought it to modern times in the erotic psychological thriller, Eyes Wide Shut. The ’90s classic follows Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise), who spirals into a night-long, surreal odyssey of sexual obsession and paranoia after his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), admits to nearly abandoning their family for a fantasy encounter. Blurring the line between the couple’s subconscious desires and their actual actions through a journey between reality and fantasy, Kubrick’s masterpiece is smartly crafted and profoundly executed.
What Kubrick does well is create a hauntingly surreal, slightly off dream. Hidden in plain sight, Kubrick creates a symbolic vocabulary through imagery, light, and color. The vibrancy and its transforming palette represent shifting emotional states, jealousy, and danger. As a brilliant psychological thriller that visually shows the emotional state, it is a masterful way to tell the story. Kubrick united top-tier performers to create such perfect chemistry, it bled off-screen as well! Eyes Wide Story is sexy and erotic, and it is thought-provoking and gripping. A film that was misunderstood at first, only to age like fine wine, Kubrick left the world, making his favorite film in his storied career. Eyes Wide Shut is truly like nothing he’s crafted before.

‘American Psycho’ (2000)
Director: Mary Harron
The premise of American Psycho sounds terrifying, but when director Mary Harron brought Bret Easton Ellis’ novel to life, the result was an exceptional black-comedy psychological thriller. The film follows Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), a wealthy 1980s New York City investment banker who hides his alternate life as a sadistic serial killer. The plot, centered on themes of materialism and alienation, tracks his descent into madness as he murders colleagues, including Paul Allen (Jared Leto), and strangers, while his superficial social circle remains oblivious. With a central character that has attempted to be replicated, but can only be referenced, American Psycho was an underdog film that became a classic overnight. Hatton took a sensational story and blew it up for the big screen. Balancing horrific violence with satirical comedy, she took the superficial 1980s and narcissism to critique the absurdity of the yuppie lifestyle and male vanity.
At its core, American Psycho is a slasher film about the most enigmatic serial killer. Perhaps the most shocking part about the film is the reaction to Patrick Bateman. Harron worked with Bale to find the rich nuances within Patrick that, for whatever reason, resonated with audiences, with some even idolizing him. As she told Letterboxd, she always saw the film as “a gay man’s satire on masculinity.” She notes how the idiosyncrasies of the character, like the meticulous rituals and obsession with image, are “men are prizing their extreme competition and their ‘elevating their prowess’ kind of thing.” She says, “There’s something very, very gay about the way they’re fetishizing looks and the gym.” Harron’s ability to give Bateman the room to deliver a precise, iconic performance as a narcissistic, detached psychopath made the film perfect. At the end of the day, American Psycho is a fantastic, bloody film.

‘The Manchurian Candidate’ (1962)
Director: John Frankenheimer
If there’s ever been a film that forces you to question everyone you once trusted, look no further than The Manchurian Candidate. Based on Richard Condon’s novel, John Frankenheimer brought to life the perfect Cold War neo-noir political thriller. The iconic film tells the story of an American Korean War platoon brainwashed by Communists. Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) is programmed as a sleeper assassin tasked with killing a U.S. presidential candidate to aid a Communist conspiracy managed by his mother (Angela Lansbury). Major Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) is on a mission to uncover the plot by any means. A darkly satirical film, The Manchurian Candidate, highlights themes of paranoia, mental manipulation, and political corruption through Frankenheimer’s sharply edited narrative.
To expose the paranoia at the film’s root, Frankenheimer deploys a disorienting, rapid-cutting editing style. Sensational examples include the brainwashing scenes, which transition seamlessly between a communist lecture hall and a New Jersey garden party, making the surreal feel real. Lionel Lindon’s cinematography is enhanced by black-and-white shooting and unique camera angles that heighten the thriller’s sense of paranoia. Perhaps one of the underappreciated achievements of Frankenheimer in this film is his hand-picked ensemble. He pulled out standout performances from every actor, exposing how going against type can deliver perfect shocks. Seeing how he led Lansbury to an Oscar nomination in her deliciously manipulative mother role underscores how crucial the relationship between actor and director is. The Manchurian Candidate is a deeply focused film that was truly ahead of its time due to Frankenheimer’s pristine vision.
9
‘Se7en’ (1995)
Director: David Fincher
When a film forces you to question the contents of a box delivered at your feet, you know you’ve done something brilliant. Such was the case for David Fincher’s Se7en. The film follows disenchanted, nearly retired Detective Lieutenant William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and his newly transferred partner David Mills (Brad Pitt) as they try to stop a serial killer from committing a series of murders based on the seven deadly sins. A brutal and gruesome crime thriller, Se7en went beyond the typical police procedural to deliver something thought-provoking and intelligent through Fincher’s calculated control over tone, visual aesthetics, and the psychological manipulation of the audience through shock.
To capture the specific essence Fincher was searching for, he deliberately placed the film in an unnamed city, detached from time and space, creating a timeless, universal sense of dread. And nothing spells dread quite like persistent rain. Alongside cinematographer Darius Khondji, the duo used a “bleach bypass” chemical process on the film stock to deepen shadows and create a high-contrast, desaturated look. Further, the subtle use of color allows the eye to delve into the important details. For the story, the audience is well aware that the killer is playing with the seven deadly sins, and thus, we wait for each to be unleashed. It’s a slow burn built through tension during the investigation. By the time the climax culminates and John Doe (Kevin Spacey) drops his final twist, that slow-burning was more than worth it. Se7en is Fincher showing why perfectionism can lead to a sensation. Every single frame is curated, resulting in a stunning final product. A timeless classic, Se7en exemplifies Fincher at his finest.
10
‘Memento’ (2000)
Director: Christopher Nolan
If there is one director who has defined the 21st century thus far, it’s Christopher Nolan. Kicking off the new millennium, Nolan uses a short story by his brother, Jonathan Nolan, as inspiration for the exceptional psychological neo-noir thriller Memento. The film tackles the intriguing story of Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man with anterograde amnesia, a condition that causes short-term memory loss and prevents him from forming new memories. Using an elaborate system of photographs, handwritten notes, and tattoos, Leonard attempts to uncover the perpetrator, simply known as “John G,” who killed his wife (Jorja Fox) and caused him to sustain the condition. A sharply intricate film in which black-and-white tells one story moving forward, while color tells the story moving backward, Memento’s alternating timelines collide to create an immersive, cerebral puzzle.
The chronological and reverse chronological storytelling could have been a risky flop, but because Nolan’s painstaking focus and subjective perspective are executed to perfection. The audience is forced to question everything as the timelines converge, leading to a psychological breakdown because they no longer have a trustworthy narrator. Memento is a film to watch multiple times because Nolan’s usage of subtle clues is precisely placed. This is a film that demands attention, and the more closely you watch, the richer the film becomes. At the core of the film, memory, identity, and perception shape every technical choice that leads to Leonard’s psyche. Nolan’s work has been lauded over the past two decades for films like Inception, The Dark Knight, and Oppenheimer, but Memento proved his brilliance.

Roseanne star Michael Fishman has defended ABC’s decision to cancel the show’s reboot after its star notoriously posted a racist tweet.
“Sadly, in this case, there was no joke and the show was rightfully cancelled,” Fishman, 44, said in a Tuesday, August 11, Instagram video that reacted to a fan comment that defended Roseanne Barr’s March 2018 post. “Good people make mistakes. And I love the one who made this mistake. I always will. I will always have compassion and love. And I’ve shown it continuously. And she helped the world understand that good people can make mistakes. But there was no joke.”
Fishman, who played D.J. Conner on the original Roseanne sitcom that aired from 1988 to 1997, spoke in direct reference to a comment that began, “The reboot got cancelled because Roseanne made the usual jokes a comedian makes but America decided to backstab Roseanne.”
The show’s revival ran on ABC for nine episodes before the tweet from Barr, 73, abruptly ended the reboot. (The since-deleted tweet targeted Valerie Jarrett, a former senior advisor to former president Barack Obama. Barr later apologized for the tweet, stating that it was a joke “in bad taste.”)
Laurie Metcalf candidly addressed where she stands with Roseanne Barr after the comedian’s shocking exit from the Roseanne revival. “There’s nothing controversial,” Metcalf, 70, told The New Yorker on Monday, April 27. “We just haven’t spoken since we said goodbye at the end of the reboot.” Metcalf’s costar Sara Gilbert, who played Barr’s onscreen daughter, […]
Fishman’s video further argued that his former costar’s words caused “damage and dehumanizing [through] perpetuating racial tropes.” He also concluded, “The only people who were backstabbed were the people who were targeted by the statements and those who became collateral damage from it.”
Hours after Barr’s tweet was shared, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey announced in a statement, “Roseanne’s Twitter is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel our show.”
The cancellation attracted commentary at the time from multiple members of the Roseanne cast including Fishman. “Today is one of the hardest in my life. I feel devastated, not for the end of the Roseanne show, but for all those who poured their hearts and souls into our jobs, and the audience that welcomed us into their homes,” he tweeted at the time. “Our cast, crew, writers and production staff strived for inclusiveness, with numerous storylines designed to reflect inclusiveness. The words of one person do not exemplify the thinking of all involved.”
After The Conners killed off Roseanne Barr’s eponymous character in 2018, the comedian is not interested in watching the sitcom. “I just can’t bear it, so I don’t,” Barr, 70, told The Los Angeles Times in an interview published on Thursday, February 9. “When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I’m mentally […]
His initial statement continued, “I condemn these statements vehemently. They are reprehensible and intolerable, contradicting my beliefs and outlook on life and society. We must stand up against; bias, hatred, bigotry and ignorance to make society a better place for all.”
One day after ABC cancelled the Roseanne reboot, Barr took to Twitter again to write the since-deleted explanation, “It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — i went too far and do not want it defended — it was egregious [and] indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but … don’t defend it please.”
The race to find the next James Bond continues to fuel plenty of speculation, with fans eager to learn who will inherit the iconic role. While several actors have been linked to the character, no official successor has been announced as yet.
Amid the ongoing buzz, Emile Hirsch decided to have a little fun with the uncertainty, leaving fans briefly wondering whether he had landed the role.
The search for the next James Bond has become one of Hollywood’s biggest casting mysteries, with fans waiting for official news since Daniel Craig‘s final appearance as the suave secret agent in “No Time To Die,” released in 2021.
On August 10, Emile Hirsch took to social media and posted a letter, seemingly sent by Eon Productions, the British company formerly in charge of the James Bond franchise. It detailed the company’s supposed interest in hiring Hirsch to be the next 007 due to his “compelling presence,” “intellect,” and “intensity.”
Reading further, however, it became apparent that the letter was a prank. “Mr. Hirsch’s shorter stature presents a unique opportunity. It would enable the studio to explore a crossover production in which James Bond is transported to the Shire and goes undercover to locate terrorist hobbits,” the letter read.
In closing, it noted that the letter was “private and confidential.” Hirsch captioned the post, “HOLY SH-T.” Despite the obvious joke, some believed it to be real, seemingly without reading the entire letter.
The Actor Shared A Follow-Up Post
On August 11, the “Into the Wild” actor shared another fake letter, in which the author expressed “extreme displeasure” over Hirsch leaking the offer for the role.
Moreover, the message noted that Hirsch’s fans had been “judgmental” about the James Bond/Lord of the Rings crossover idea, which the author described as “nothing short of hurtful.”
“Let’s be clear: MGM owns the rights to both worlds. This wasn’t some fan-fiction fantasy. We had real viability to build a new franchise — one with scale, legacy, and global appeal. The proposed title was 007: Return of The Short King,” it read.
The author then suggested that Hirsch consult a “leg break extender surgeon” to increase his height. In another post, Hirsch took the gag further and posted a digitally altered photo of himself with legs stretched to an exaggerated length, making him appear as if he’s standing on stilts.
The Search For The New James Bond Is Underway
I genuinely enjoy all the actors who have portrayed James Bond. That being said, here’s where things stand after some consideration.
1. Daniel Craig
2. Sean Connery
3. Timothy Dalton
4. Roger Moore
5. Pierce Brosnan
6. George Lazenby pic.twitter.com/J5MfBv67OG— DoubleOKevin (@KevBot_007) December 8, 2021
Six actors have portrayed James Bond under Eon Productions: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig.
In 2015, after filming “Spectre,” his fourth movie as Bond, Craig expressed his desire to leave the character behind, saying he would rather slash his wrists than do another James Bond film, per Time Out London. However, he returned for one final movie because he wanted his story arc to conclude.
In the years that followed, corporate changes, transitions within the franchise, and plans to reboot the character further delayed the search for Craig’s successor. In May, however, Amazon MGM Studios, which now has full creative control over the franchise, announced they have begun auditions for James Bond, as reported by Variety.
Celebrities Rumored To Play 007
In the last few years, several names have been floated as potential contenders for the role of James Bond, including Tom Holland, Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Mescal, and Jack Lowden, along with several others.
Idris Elba, who was a fan-favorite to play Bond, confirmed that he was never in the running to begin with, as previously reported by The Blast. Henry Cavill was another name mentioned online, but the actor, who previously auditioned for the role but lost it to Craig, said he would rather play a Bond villain.
According to multiple reports, the next MI6 agent likely won’t be an established star, as producers are leaning toward a lesser-known or rising actor.
The New James Bond May Be Named Before The End Of 2026
In August, producer Amy Pascal said that Craig “is a hard act to follow,” adding that she, together with casting director Nina Gold, fellow producer David Heyman, and director Denis Villeneuve, are being “methodical” about their search.
“It’s got to be something really different that is a stirring and exciting and different,” Pascal told Deadline. While she didn’t elaborate further, she did say that the new James Bond may be revealed this year. “I would say the end of the year is a good bet,” she confirmed.
For Tallulah Willis, her wedding dress was more than a spectacular piece of couture. Every detail carried a personal connection, from the shape inspired by something her mother Demi Moore once wore to the Idaho setting where Tallulah spent part of her childhood.
Moore recently gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes, sharing intimate photographs from her daughter’s final fitting and reflecting on the emotional moments leading up to the ceremony.
By the time Tallulah walked down the aisle, the Balenciaga gown had become a meeting point for family history, fashion and an extraordinary amount of craftsmanship.
Moore offered a glimpse into the preparations for Tallulah Willis’ wedding by sharing a carousel of photographs from the bride’s final dress fitting on Instagram on Tuesday.
The images captured the proud mom helping her youngest daughter with the veil as Tallulah tried on the custom Balenciaga gown, surrounded by family and close friends.
One of the photos featured Tallulah the stunning dress, receiving a kiss on the cheek from her mom. “A glimpse into my beloved Tallulah’s wedding dress fitting,” Moore captioned the post.
“All the tender moments leading up to her beautiful day are forever etched in my heart. So grateful we were able to share this precious event together as a family.”
Moore also expressed gratitude to designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, who created the custom gown for Tallulah and helped bring her bridal vision to life.
The fitting itself became a family occasion, with Moore, Tallulah’s sisters Rumer and Scout Willis, and Moore’s longtime stylist Brad Goreski all present.
Moore’s Wedding Post Draws Emotional Reactions From Fans
Moore’s intimate glimpse at Tallulah Willis’ wedding preparations prompted fans to celebrate not only the bride’s stunning gown but also the family memories surrounding the occasion.
One commenter expressed hope that Tallulah’s dad Bruce Willis was able to share in the moment, writing, “What a beautiful dress huge Congratulations I hope Bruce was able to see the dress & participate in some way.”
Another praised Moore’s daughters as “remarkable persons,” while congratulating the actress and calling her “a great mother and a fantastic actor.”
Other followers focused on Tallulah’s future, with one writing, “Oh my god this is so beautiful and exciting-sending so much love and wishing her a life of happiness and blessings.”
Tallulah Willis’ Balenciaga Gown Was A Tribute To Moore
The most personal element of Tallulah’s wedding dress was hiding in plain sight: its sculptural neckline was inspired by a look worn by her mother.
The 32-year-old’s gown featured a curved neckline based on a black sheath Moore wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this year. The reference gave the bridal design a subtle connection between mother and daughter without turning it into a literal recreation.
The original gown design had a straight neckline, but Tallulah wanted something more distinctive. “I just thought, wouldn’t it be so beautiful to have no necklace and nothing up here, but just the shape,” she told British Vogue during her final fitting.
Piccioli designed the strapless silk satin column gown with a dramatic draped skirt gathered at the hips, a long train and a structured bow at the back. Tallulah said the bow was intended to make her look “like a package that was being unwrapped.”
She finished the look with a floor-length veil, pear-shaped diamond drop earrings and a chignon with loose pieces framing her face.
Warm, fresh makeup completed the ensemble that combined a classic bridal silhouette with deliberately sculptural details.
Tallulah’s Wedding Dress Took 712 Hours Of Couture Craftsmanship
The personal meaning behind the gown was matched by the extraordinary amount of work required to create it.
According to Vogue, the Balenciaga atelier spent 712 hours making Tallulah Willis’s dress, with another nine hours devoted specifically to the veil.
Some of the gown’s smallest details demanded an extraordinary investment of time. Each beaded organza petal required approximately 60 hours to hand-embroider and apply, making the finished gown the result of hundreds of hours of painstaking craftsmanship.
The final fitting took place at the Chateau Marmont shortly before Tallulah and Acee’s Idaho ceremony.
The finished gown was eventually revealed during Tallulah’s outdoor wedding, where her sisters played another important role in the visual story.
Rumer and Scout served as bridesmaids in matching strapless mint-green dresses, complementing the romantic setting without competing with Tallulah’s couture look.
Tallulah Willis Marries Justin Acee In Intimate Idaho Wedding
Tallulah tied the knot with musician Justin Acee in an intimate wedding ceremony in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Saturday, August 8, surrounded by family, friends and several Hollywood names.
The outdoor ceremony took place in a woodland setting decorated with gilded mirrors, topiary and large floral arrangements, creating a whimsical atmosphere for the couple’s big day.
Among the reported guests were Moore’s “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Lucy Liu, actor Andrew Garfield, designer Zac Posen and Ali Larter.
Following the ceremony, guests gathered for dinner at long tables decorated with dusty pink roses and mismatched crockery.
Afterward, speeches gave way to music from DJ Samantha Ronson, while Moore was seen spending time around the lounge areas near the dance floor.
Unfortunately, Bruce Willis was reportedly absent from the ceremony due to his ongoing battle with dementia.
Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere‘s children are proof that the past does not disrupt the future!
The couple, one of Hollywood’s biggest in the 90s, made headlines during their relationship, which lasted less than a decade. The pair raised eyebrows with the significant age gap between them, which ultimately contributed to their split.
Over three decades later, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere’s names are back in the spotlight. This time, not just for themselves but thanks to their children, who now work together.
Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere were serving looks, poise, and glam as they posed together for a recent Vogue cover issue. The nepo babies channeled their famous parents, who also did Vogue photoshoots together 34 years ago at the peak of their relationship.
In case you didn’t know, Gerber’s mom, Crawford, was married to Homer’s father from 1991 to 1995 when they were making big splashes in Hollywood. The industry stars have since moved on to other relationships and welcomed their respective children.
In his first big interview, Homer told Vogue how they addressed the issue of their parents’ doomed romance. He recalled that they met at a Los Angeles watering hole where he outright asked if they should “address the fact that our parents were married.” The matter did not linger on between them as Gerber simply responded, “Yeah. Cool,” and that was it.
Is This Pairing Destiny or Déjà Vu?
The matter that Homer and Gerber simply put to bed in just two sentences continues to dwell on the minds and tongues of many. Ryan Murphy cast the pair for his new show “The Shards,” which he co-created with acclaimed novelist Bret Easton Ellis.
Homer confessed that being placed alongside his father’s ex’s daughter in the show probably “seems too on the nose,” according to The Daily Mail.
Being photographed together for the Vogue cover is also a full-circle Hollywood moment. The nepo babies found themselves in front of Steven Meisel’s camera nearly 34 years after their parents made the magazine’s cover for the November 1992 issue.
Crawford and Richard’s Vogue cover was shot by the legendary Herb Ritts, at whose home the couple was first introduced during a barbecue in the late 1980s.
Gerber’s resemblance to her mom in their new cover is quite uncanny, shining through her bright smile and dark hair. Homer, on the other hand, has Richard’s casual swag, channeling 1990s fashion with his blue jeans, dress shirt, blazer, and tie.
‘The Shards’ Casting Brought The Entertainers To See Its ‘A Small Word’
Who would have thought that, of all the stars in Hollywood to be featured on the drama series, Crawford and Richard’s children would get the part? Entertainment Weekly detailed that “The Shards” is set in 1981 and follows a group of Los Angeles prep school students who must navigate a friendship with a mysterious newcomer while trying to avoid the grip of a vicious serial killer.
The rising progenies of Hollywood big names got to work together on the project series that missed their parents’ marriage by nearly a decade. At the movie premiere, Gerber expressed her excitement to meet Richard, describing the casting as “such a small world.”
Homer talked about the casting at the premiere as well, explaining that the odds were very funny. He also praised his costar for her phenomenal job in the serial killer thriller. “She’s a lovely actress and person, and we’ve gotten really close. So it’s been really a pleasure to work with her,” the actor gushed.
Kaia Gerber And Homer Gere Have A Good Working Relationship
The rising star’s failed parents’ romance has got nothing on them as they work to pave their own paths in the industry. The pair had never met prior to being cast alongside each other in the 2026 coming-of-age thriller despite their parent’s history.
Homer exclusively told E! News that they met at a bar about two weeks before the cameras started rolling. The movie stars hung out with other cast members, which marked the beginning of a friendship and a harmonious working relationship.
Gerber also spoke highly of Homer, sharing that it had been a lovely experience working with him on the project. Their bond transcended mere coworkers into a beautiful friendship their parents’ doomed past has no hold on.
“He’s so wonderful. He’s so funny. He makes me laugh so hard, and he’s the greatest scene partner ever. And really, it’s such a supportive environment, and we’ve gotten so close over this process,” the model told media outlets about her costar.
Inside Cindy Crawford And Richard Gere’s Whirlwind Romance
Crawford was an acclaimed supermodel in the 90s when she met Richard, who was already an A-lister in Hollywood. The pair met at a mutual friend’s party in 1988 when the model was just 21, and Richard was well into his 30s.
Crawford admitted to being starstruck when she met Gere for the first time. They bonded over conversation and shared likes before they rose to become one of Hollywood’s power couples in their time.
Despite wagging tongues, particularly about their 17-year age gap, the former lovebirds stepped out together for different public events, turning heads.
They eloped in 1991 to Las Vegas and secretly tied the knot with aluminum foil rings at the altar. Crawford recalled it as a spontaneous decision, revealing that she did not even get a wedding dress.
As reported by InStyle, their union ended in 1995, and the model maintains their union was short-lived due to their age difference and very busy schedules.
Will Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere’s past romance ever affect their kids?
Rosie O’Donnell has never been shy about sharing personal details about her life and career, but one surprising revelation involves her longtime crush on Tom Cruise. The comedian and TV personality recently recalled how some people were shocked to learn that she was a lesbian, due to her public admiration of the movie star.
Rosie O’Donnell’s infatuation with Tom Cruise dated back to the mid-’90s, when she frequently talked about her crush on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and even referred to him as “my Tommy.” The two have forged a friendship over the years, with the actor leaning into the bit.
In a recent interview, however, O’Donnell shared that some were “shocked” when she came out as a lesbian in 2002. They cited her longtime admiration for Cruise, which the host said they interpreted as her wanting to sleep with him.
“I often said, ‘I don’t want him in bed. I want him to mow my lawn and bring me an iced tea.’ Like that’s what I said. And I didn’t know how much clearer I could be,” O’Donnell told Amy Poehler on the “Good Hang” podcast.
Tom Cruise Acknowledged The TV Host’s Crush
Cruise made a few guest appearances on O’Donnell’s show. In his first guest appearance to promote the movie “Jerry Maguire,” the actor brought her a bouquet of flowers, acknowledged her admiration of him, and even kissed her on the cheek.
O’Donnell openly admitted she had a crush on him and asked, “Does it scare you a little bit?” Laughing, Cruise said he didn’t mind. The host also asked whether Nicole Kidman, whom the actor was married to at that time, knew about her crush.
The host said she didn’t want to break up Cruise and Kidman’s marriage; she was merely “infatuated” with him and wanted the actor to live in her house.
Cruise did a few more appearances before “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” concluded in 2002 after six seasons.
Rosie O’Donnell Still Gets Cards And Gifts From The Actor
O’Donnell and Cruise forged a friendship over the years, and in 2021, the TV personality revealed that the actor has not missed greeting her on her birthday.
She admitted that she doesn’t agree with his beliefs in Scientology and wasn’t close enough to the actor to discuss it, but described him as a “classy” man.
“He is the only person who never misses my birthday. In knowing him for 25 years now, he has never missed my birthday or an event in my life,” O’Donnell said. While some people noted that a secretary may have been sending gifts and cards on the actor’s behalf, O’Donnell thinks otherwise. “I don’t believe that. I think he knows in early March, ‘Oh, it’s Rosie’s birthday coming up,’ and he sends me something,” she said on “The Jess Cagle Show.”
In December 2025, O’Donnell shared a photo of a card she received from the actor for the holidays. She also previously shared that she had received the famous coconut cake that Cruise sends to his celebrity friends.
Elsewhere in the interview with Poehler, O’Donnell revealed her latest crush, Sydney James Harcourt, whom she previously referred to as her “new Tom Cruise.” “A woman’s needs change as she gets older,” she said.
Harcourt, a theater actor, played Rum Tum Tugger on Broadway’s “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” which the comedian recently watched.
“He is the sexiest human I’ve ever seen and so unbearably talented,” she told Poehler, adding that she felt like “a little schoolgirl” when Harcourt approached her and sang.
Despite the admiration, O’Donnell is still a lesbian. “I still have those feelings but it doesn’t translate into, ‘I would like to be sexually intimate with you.’ Doesn’t go there. Trust me on that,” she said.
Rosie O’Donnell Is Considering A Return To The U.S.
O’Donnell has been traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Ireland in the past few months. She relocated to Ireland in January 2025 with her youngest child due to the political climate, per The Blast.
In July, O’Donnell shared that she is contemplating a move back to the U.S. to be closer to her family. Her son, Blake, welcomed a child in March, and the host wants to purchase a home in New Jersey near her children to have a place to stay whenever she’s in the country. However, she is still unsure whether the move would be permanent.
Steve Burton’s ex-wife, Sheree Burton, is firing back at claims she is alienating the soap star from his daughter Brooklyn following the former couple’s 2022 divorce.
In court documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, August 11, Sheree, 49, requested a judge allow her to move to Tennessee from California, despite Steve’s relocation back to the west coast in recent months.
Sheree alleged in the August 6 filing that their 12-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, “has her own iPad,” which she said “enables her to communicate with father freely via calls, texts and Facetime.”
“Despite father’s claims, she had this same access previously and was not restricted from father,” Sheree declared in the docs.
Steve Burton and his ex-wife, Sheree Burton, have been trading jabs via court documents while fighting over custody of their youngest child. Sheree accused the soap opera star, 54, of being unrelenting in his messages about their daughter Brooklyn, according to a recent filing obtained by In Touch. (The exes share three children: Makena, Jack […]
Sheree acknowledged that she and Steve — who also share adult children Makena, 22, and Jack, 20 — have “poor” communication.
However, she noted the General Hospital star’s messages are allegedly “full of accusations that do not match the reality of the situation such as accusing mother of alienation because she is following the orders he agreed to.”
According to Sheree — who was married to Steve for 23 years before their 2022 split — he signed a “new custody schedule” before deciding to move to Tennessee in February. (The former spouses’ current order gives Steve, 56, time with Brooklyn “one weekend a month when school resumes” and previously entailed him seeing his child once a month while living in separate states.)

Sheree alleged in the August filing that the actor’s relocation was the “second time he moved cross country without Brooklyn,” explaining that she signed a “stipulation” she thought was in her daughter’s “best interest.”
The aforementioned stipulation allowed for Brooklyn to have “frequent and continuing contact” with Steve while she enjoyed her primary residence with Sheree in Orange County, California.
According to the docs, Steve and Sheree “disagreed” over the stipulation details, which Sheree claimed led Steve to go back to court.
Steve Burton’s ex-wife, Sheree Burton, revealed the General Hospital star’s alleged six-figure monthly income in their fight over custody, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Back in April, Sheree demanded the soap star, 54, pay her $25,000 to help cover the bills racked up fighting Steve in court. The request was recently dropped, according to Steve’s […]
Around the time that the exes started mediation, Steve “announced he and his family were moving back to California,” which he allegedly said was to be “near Brooklyn.”
Sheree noted in her filing that she “agreed” to Steve’s requests for time with his daughter over the summer, but claimed that the Young and the Restless actor’s plans on his move “continued to change.”
She further alleged that Steve “does not yet have a stable residence in California,” which Sheree told the judge should help her case as Brooklyn’s primary caretaker.

Sheree argued that although her own proposed move to Tennessee “would be a change” for Brooklyn, she claimed she is the “stable parent and always has been.”
Sheree — who also shares two daughters with husband Jason Amador — added that Brooklyn shouldn’t be “ordered” to stay in California where her primary care would fall to her stepmother, Michelle Lundstrom. (Steve married Lundstrom, 44, in May 2025.)
According to the filing, Sheree “believes it more likely that [Steve] would also return to Tennessee, rendering this RFO moot as well.”
Sheree further claimed that Steve is complicating her desire to move to Tennessee amid his own “unstable living decisions.”
Sheree’s attorney alleged in the filing, “She was hoping he would be honest and reasonable, but in the absence of that coparenting, she is turning to the courts.”
Us has reached out to Steve’s legal team for comment.
A close friend of Malcolm-Jamal Warner‘s widow, Tenisha Warner, made a GoFundMe on her behalf amid the legal battle over the late actor’s estate.
“I have been Tenisha Warner’s closest friend for 19 years,” Tenisha’s friend Destiny Rael wrote in the introduction of the GoFundMe, which was created on Tuesday, August 11. “I am the one who first brought her and Malcolm-Jamal Warner together, and I have been beside her through everything since his tragic passing.”
Rael explained that she organized the page because she has “witnessed, up close, the depth of Tenisha’s grief and the weight she has had to carry” and knows that her friend would not ask for support.
“I know that Malcolm is beloved by so many, and his fans are grieving his loss. I can tell you what most people never see,” Rael continued. “I have watched Tenisha spend this year grieving the love of her life while honoring the promise they made to each other, to homeschool their nine-year-old daughter. Every single day she shows up for her child as though her own world had not fallen apart, and still makes sure breakfast is on the table.”
Malcolm Jamal-Warner’s widow, Tenisha Warner, is addressing her relationship with her mother-in-law, Pamela Warner, amid their bombshell lawsuit. “Right now, everybody — like, all of his family members and [those] who have lost him — they are grieving,” Tenisha told Gayle King in a teaser of her Thursday, July 23, CBS Mornings sit-down. “You know, […]
Rael shared that she was by Tenisha’s side when she returned home following Malcolm-Jamal’s tragic death. In July 2025, the Cosby Show alum died at age 54 after being caught in a riptide in Costa Rica during the family’s vacation.
Rael also revealed that the house had an “unexpected flooding” upon Tenisha’s return.
“She is rebuilding not only her life without him, but the very home they created together,” she wrote. “Every room holds their memories, with no space to truly mourn, because the demands have never paused: legal matters that began within weeks of Malcolm’s passing, financial weight carried alone, a house to put back together, and their daughter to care for every single day. She has stretched every resource she has and borrowed from people who love her just to keep one foot in front of the other.”
Rael claimed that Malcolm-Jamal intended to “update his estate plan to provide for his wife and daughter, but he passed away before he could sign it.” She added that now that Tenisha, 48, is a “single mom,” she “carries the cost of resolving Malcolm’s estate alone because asking for help does not come naturally to her.”
“That is why the people who love her have launched this campaign: to help Tenisha honor Malcolm’s wishes and his legacy while providing stability for their daughter, his only child, and the family he loved most,” Rael wrote.
Proceeds from the GoFundMe “will help ease the financial strain, cover the expenses she is now facing, and provide security for Tenisha and her daughter as they work toward resolving Malcolm’s affairs.” The goal of the fundraiser is $40,000.
Rael made it clear she is “asking anyone to take sides in a family matter” amid the ongoing legal battle between Tenisha and her mother-in-law, Pamela Warner.
“I am asking you to stand with a grieving wife and mother, and her young daughter, so they don’t lose what Malcolm always intended to provide for them,” she continued. “Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference. If you are not able to give, sharing this page and keeping Tenisha and her daughter in your thoughts is a powerful gesture of support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
News broke earlier this year that Tenisha filed a lawsuit against Pamela for a prenuptial dispute one year after Malcolm-Jamal died. (Pamela, who previously served as her son’s manager, is the successor trustee of the Warner Family Trust, which Malcolm-Jamal set up in 1996.)
Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s widow, Tenisha Warner, is still processing his fatal drowning nearly one year later. “The moments of that day, they occupy my body so deeply, so it’s really hard for me to relive what all of that was and to think about it,” Tenisha told Gayle King during an emotional CBS Mornings interview on […]
According to court documents obtained by Us in July, Tenisha argued that she is entitled to more than $1.2 million from the trust. Tenisha claimed that the sum is the equivalent of what Malcolm-Jamal had promised her as part of their May 2022 premarital agreement.
While Pamela has not addressed the lawsuit directly, she seemingly hinted at the drama the day the documents were filed in court.
“During my year long journey, I have discovered how cruel, evil and greedy a human can be,” Pamela wrote via Facebook and on the Malcolm Jamal-Warner Living Legacy page via Instagram to mark the first anniversary of her son’s death. “I have also discovered the depth of love, care, concern and support that humans are capable of. All of which I have been the recipient of. The good, the bad and the ugly. These are the lessons that apparently I will need as I continue my journey.”
Netflix’s upcoming hockey drama series The Sticks has been criticized by parents connected to 2018’s fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
“From what I’m assuming, where they’re going with this is: bus crashes, hockey players die, wife picks up the team and brings them back to glory,” Scott Thomas, a father from Saskatchewan, Canada, who lost his son, Evan, in the tragedy, told local news outlet SaskNow in January. “And in the end, everybody’s happy. That’s just complete trash. That’s not what happened to us. At all.”
The opinions of Thomas, and other families impacted by the crash that killed 16 people including many from the Humboldt Broncos junior ice hockey team, resurfaced this week after Netflix released behind-the-scenes photos of The Sticks via X on Tuesday, August 11. The series will be released by the streamer in 2027.
Per a January report by The Canadian Press, Netflix told the outlet via an email at the time that The Sticks is “fictional and not inspired by any real-life event.”

Matthew, a forward with the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, and younger sibling Brady, the captain of the Ottawa Senators, had never played together on the same […]
Us has reached out to Netflix for further comment.
According to a Tudum by Netflix article published on Tuesday, The Sticks is set in South Dorothy, Minnesota, where “hockey is everything — until a tragic loss knocks the legs out from under the high school’s legendary team.”
Further detail about The Sticks read, “After tragedy shatters a small Minnesota hockey town, a grieving wife steps behind the bench of the team her husband built, guiding a found family of wounded young athletes through a season of loss, love, and rivalry that will decide whether South Dorothy has anything left to believe in, and who will lead it into its next chapter.”

The Canadian Press also spoke to Michelle Straschnitzki, whose son Ryan was left paralyzed from the chest down after a semi-trailer truck’s collision with the bus caused the Humboldt Broncos crash. “It does seem to sensationalize our own tragedy, but in a truly Hollywood fashion, they’re making it about them — their heartbreak, their loss, their rebuild,” Straschnitzki told the outlet. “They’re just out to make some money and make it their story, which is garbage.”
The mother added that she didn’t believe that The Sticks’ story is fictional.
“If you have been alive in the last eight years and you haven’t heard what happened on the grand scale that it was, across the world, then you’ve had your head in the sand,” she told the outlet at the time.
The backlash against Ryan Murphy‘s Monsters just keeps coming — and now the cast has spoken out in defense of their scripted show about Lyle and Erik Menéndez‘s infamous murder case.

On April 6, 2018, 29 Humboldt Broncos team mates traveled northbound on a coach bus when a westbound truck went through a stop sign and hit the bus. Three months later, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police charged a 29-year-old man with 16 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and thirteen counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily injury. He pleaded guilty in January 2019 to all charges and was sentenced to eight years in prison, per Canada’s CBC.
He was granted full parole in 2023 and is currently residing in Canada while fighting a federal deportation order to return to his home country of India.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly settled back into regular life after their highly anticipated wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The NFL star is completely focused on getting back in shape for the new football season and is said to be “very full on” about his training and staying “disciplined.”
Now, sources claim that while it’s not Taylor Swift’s first football season experience with her beau, it is going to be a major switch for the couple after the high of their fairy tale nuptials and honeymoon.
Swift and Kelce are set to make big changes after returning to reality following their expensive wedding that shut down New York City on July 3.
Since their wedding, the couple has kept a notably low profile. Their rare public appearances include attending a fellow NFL star’s nuptials just a week after their own, followed by a recent sighting of Kelce on his way to training camp, which went viral due to claims he had gained some extra weight.
Speaking about the couple’s current state after their wedding celebrations, a source told Star Magazine that Kelce is “back to being ultra disciplined with his diet and sleep schedule and training. It’s very full-on,” while Taylor “knows what to expect and she’s totally happy to support him.”
The source added, “But there’s no doubt it’s a big change to go from indulging non-stop to not even having a glass of wine with dinner.”
The Singer Wants To Be The ‘Ultimate Support System’ For Her NFL Star Husband
According to the inside source, Swift is completely dedicated to Kelce’s success and is pulling out all the stops to serve as his biggest “support system.”
This devotion translates into tangible daily habits as she has committed to preparing his meals and matching his demanding schedule by turning in early right beside him.
“[She’s] all in with him and wants to be the ultimate support system, so she’s cooking him healthy meals [and] she’s going to bed early right alongside him,” the source noted, per Star.
They added, “She has no issue buckling down and focusing. It’s what she does best.”
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Are Still ‘Giddy In Love’ As They Deal With Getting ‘Back To Reality’ After Their Nuptials
As for Swift, the singer is also reportedly focused on getting back to work, as insiders claim that she has a secret new music project brewing.
“It’s all top secret, but there is another album brewing,” a source shared about the alleged project. “She’s doing those sessions when he’s training and occasionally doing her own thing and going to the studio for marathon sessions.”
The claim comes almost two months after the singer was spotted arriving at Electric Lady Studios in New York City on Monday, June 15. At the time, her outing sent her fans, affectionately known as Swifties, raving on social media about the possibility of new music.
“They’re both having to get back to reality, but that hasn’t taken the wind out of their sails,” the source noted about Kelce and Swift. “They are still giddy in love.”
The Couple Recently Became Dog Parents
Swift and Kelce’s wedding also came with a major surprise after it was revealed that the couple had become pet parents to a Samoyed, with sources branding the decision to get the dog an important milestone in their relationship.
According to a report, Swift and Kelce spent considerable time mulling over the decision before making the move to get the pet “because they wanted to make sure they were ready for that level of commitment.”
Swift’s reputation as a devoted pet lover is well established, rooted in her years of companionship with her three iconic cats, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button, all of whom preceded her 2023 romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Although transitioning to caring for a puppy involves significantly more responsibility and effort than managing the singer’s cats, sources close to the pair noted that they have wholeheartedly welcomed the challenge and are thriving in their expanded roles as pet parents.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Were Left ‘Disheartened’ By The Negative Chatter And Rumors About Their Wedding
According to individuals close to the newlyweds, recent friction regarding their wedding guest list and alleged negativity from within their social circles has left them feeling deeply discouraged.
While the couple is generally adept at ignoring media scrutiny, an insider told Star Magazine that the situation has hit close to home and has been “pretty disheartening” for them.
Because Kelce is scheduled to return to work shortly, the source pointed out that “he’s got to go back to that locker room any day now,” an environment that could prove awkward due to reports of resentment over wedding invitations.
Ultimately, the constant influx of gossip is taking a toll, with the insider revealing that the pair is “finding it quite exhausting keeping up with all the rumors and all the mischief that people are making” about their wedding ceremony.
Kristen Stewart is getting candid about her experience collaborating with her wife Dylan Meyer and why she views filmmaking as an intimate experience.
Stewart took the leading role in the new stoner comedy “The Wrong Girls,” which was written and directed by her partner, marking Meyer’s directorial debut.
The pair first crossed paths on a movie set in 2013, but it wasn’t until years down the line that they reconnected and became romantically connected.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the actress opened up about working with Meyer.
For the “Twilight” actress, filmmaking is deeply personal, and so it only makes sense to do it with someone so close to her. “
Making something with somebody is my favorite form of intimacy,” she explained, adding that a great movie feels “like an act of love.”
For this reason, the 36-year-old admitted that collaborating with people in her inner circle felt very natural.
The host wondered if Stewart had been discouraged by those around her, sharing their concern about mixing business with marriage.
The Oscar-nominated actress made it clear she wasn’t exactly concerned with this. She replied that she was exceptionally demanding and direct, and she would not let that happen.
Stewart also had plenty of praise for her significant other’s talent and her creative instinct, highlighting the movie’s soundtrack. She also referred to Meyer as a “cool girl” and expressed excitement at seeing her vision come to life.
Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer Had An Intimate Home Wedding
Despite “The Wrong Girls” being the couple’s first creative collaboration, the lovebirds’ personal lives have been intertwined for over a decade.
The duo was married in an intimate ceremony at Stewart’s Los Angeles home after obtaining their marriage certificate at the courthouse. They were surrounded by close friends and family for the nuptials that took place in April of 2025.
The Blast reported that the newlyweds looked radiant in coordinating outfits, sporting simple hairdos with white and blue bouquets in hand.
Dylan Meyers and Kristen Stewart’s Relationship Timeline
Stewart first met the screenwriter thirteen years ago, and reconnected again in 2019.
According to People Magazine, the long-term partners had casually met on a movie set in 2013, and although they both lived in LA, their paths never crossed. They reconnected at a mutual friend’s birthday party six years later, where they instantly hit it off.
In August of 2019, the two stars were spotted kissing each other in New York, sparking dating rumors online. The “Charlie’s Angels” wasted no time going IG official with Meyer, and the rest is history.
Kristen Stewart Addressed Her Decision To Come Out On Air
Years before walking down the aisle, the movie star had openly come out during an “SNL” monologue. In February of this year, she got honest about her reason why.
As reported by The Blast, Stewart likened not coming out to living a partial life. She reflected on how people around her had encouraged her to keep that part of her life private, claiming it would be beneficial to her career.
“I was like, ‘So you want me to live a partial life? And you want me to uphold, perpetuate, and sustain a system that excludes people?’ And I just can’t do that,” the 36-year-old stated.
Stewart has continued to be vocal about her opinion on gender equality in the industry.
Kristen Stewart’s Viral Interaction Sparked Concern As Fans Questioned Her Reaction
While the actress’s romantic life continues to make headlines, she has recently found herself in the spotlight after a viral moment was caught during the Biarritz Film Festival in France.
As reported by The Blast, a widely circulated clip of the “Twilight Saga” actress sparked discussions. The Hollywood star was seen speaking on stage with a man approaching her from behind. After listening to him speak for a while, she stepped back and remained seated on the platform behind her.
The video was shared on X, with online spectators commenting on the “Twilight” alum’s uncomfortable expression.
Some viewers supported Stewart’s reaction, while others suggested the moment may have been taken out of context. Neither Stewart nor festival organizers publicly addressed the incident.
