Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona Get Tangled in Relationship Wreckage in SPLITSVILLE Trailer — GeekTyrant

Geek Tyranta day ago
If your last group hang turned into a couples' therapy session, Splitsville might be a movie that feels a little too real. Neon has dropped the first trailer for Michael Angelo Covino's new comedy Splitsville , and it's serving up an uncomfortably funny look at marriage, honesty, and the messiness that happens when you try to fix a relationship by blowing it up.
Spiltsville centers on Carey (Kyle Marvin) and Ashley (Adria Arjona), a couple barely a year into marriage and already facing the big D—divorce. When Ashley says she wants out, Carey retreats to the safe haven of his married friends Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul, played by Covino. Their solution? An open relationship. Naturally.
What follows is a chaotic tangle of feelings, boundaries, and crossed lines. Carey and Julie sleep together. They tell their partners. And the delicate illusion of control shatters for both couples. If the trailer is any indication, Splitsville walks a fine line between hilariously awkward and painfully honest.
The film made its debut at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it reportedly earned a six-minute standing ovation and plenty of laughs. Covino, reflecting on the experience, said:
'We need to keep making comedies for Cannes. Laughter should be seen in a theater, not on a television screen.'
Splitsville opens in theaters on August 22.

Three Trends From Paris Fashion Week Men's Spring/Summer 2026

(Photo by Kuba Dabrowski/WWD via Getty Images) As Paris Fashion Week Men's Spring/Summer 2026 comes to a close this week, there is undoubtedly a well of inspiration coming from the City of Lights. This season blended bold designs, subdued silhouettes and interesting footwear to tell us one thing: menswear is slowly but surely becoming on-par with its female counterpart. Keep reading to see how design hours like Dior, Dries Van Noten and Willy Chavarria are leading the charge in defining the potential of menswear. Keeping It Colorful Bright colors are nothing new when it comes to a spring wardrobe—one needs something to combat the gloomy rain—but Paris brought this to another level. Unexpected color combinations and fabric patterns took center stage at more than one show this season. For example, Dries Van Noten was a masterclass in showing us that being effortlessly elegant doesn't mean succumbing to a monochromatic wardrobe. Quite the opposite, in fact. As the first collection under the house's new creative director, Julian Klausner, there is an undoubted weight in showing such a bold collection, but keeping within the brand's well-established design principles made the transition all the easier for fans of this Belgian brand. Red was the star of the show, cropping up throughout the presentation, paired with equally eye-catching blue sweaters, silky purple button-downs and impossibly short shorts. For a more principles approach to color theory, three brands stood out. The first among them is Sanderlak, whose debut presentation in Paris was inspired by the washed-out tones of Los Angeles. 'There's something about the light in LA that always gets me. It's soft yet harsh and dry, and it settles over everything in this quiet way,' says founder Sander Lak. Taking inspiration from endless vistas and the Golden Coast, these same colorways made it into the 51-piece collection, predominated by desaturated pinks, yellows and blues. Similarly inspired by place, Willy Chavarria used his hometown of Huron, California as the starting point for his politically-charged collection. The opening of Chavarria's show highlighted thirty-five men, dressed in white shirts, who knelt on the runway, hands behind their back, as a symbolic statement of the impact the Trump Administration's weaponization of ICE has caused in his hometown.

And in stark contrast to this opening was a collection that was big, bold and full of character—or, as the designer put it—it's 'color as an act of rebellion.' Utilizing oversized silhouettes at near-zoot suit level proportions, Chevarria's collection was filled to the brim with pink, yellow and turquoise, a visual representation of rebellion against the norms which define menswear—and, to an extent, the broader political tensions that are happening outside the runway.

At once, income equality is at an all-time high and continues to be a flashpoint across the political spectrum (for example, the criticisms following the Bezos-Sánchez wedding last week). And yet, there is a continued fascination with the upper-class way of life, with elements of that familiar TikTok trend of hashtag-Old Money becoming ever more present in recent collections. It is as if society is saying: If you're going to have money, at least look the part. Leading this aesthetic is Jonathan Anderson, whose highly anticipated first collection as the newly creative director of Dior was presented during Paris. Pulling elements from French aristocracy, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Dior archives, Anderson presented a collection that was understated, yes, but entirely singular in its vision of understated elegance. From cravats tied around models' necks to slouchy pullovers loosely draped across their backs, the small details of this collection show an innate understanding that style is as much how you wear something as to what you're wearing to begin with. It should come as a surprise to no one to find The Row, Lemaire and Hermès as strongholds in the conversation around sophisticated styling. Each brand kept within a similar monochromatic color palette of black, tan and grey, making for a wardrobe in which one can create a kind of uniformity to their personal style. Loose-fitted garments remain the standard, with flowing shirts and loose-fitted pants focusing more on comfort and fabric versus the model's body, giving one room for movement when walking the streets of New York, Paris or Milan.

What do beachgoers in the southern United States and models on the runways in Paris have in common? If you said an appreciation for sandals, then you'd be correct. More and more, designers this year have embraced the sandal, making for an interesting departure from the more sophisticated boots and trainers that have long dominated the spring shows. Lemaire, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Dries Van Noten all styled their models with a toes-out look, showing a bit of unconventional skin during an otherwise conservative runway. Another designer who showed us that footwear remains an untapped canvas for creativity in menswear was Wales Bonner. While this should come as no surprise (the British brand has held a longstanding partnership with Adidas since 2020). Now, designer Grace Wales Bonner seems to have adapted an almost feminine ballet flat-style driving shoe for her menswear collection, with a flat, low sole that hugged the models' feet as they walked down the runway in clothes that were a continuation of the Met Gala's earlier theme, Superfine: Black Tailoring Style.

Our favorite male movie stars of the moment are flirty, fun and a much-needed breath of fresh air

The summer celebrity forecast predicts clear skies, and an unproblematic leading man heatwave in the form of Jonathan Bailey and Pedro Pascal. In a time marked by division – over politics and pretty much everything else – Pascal and Bailey have seemingly united the internet by abiding by a fairly simple principle: It's ok to have fun being a celebrity. Case in point: Bailey matched wits – and clutched pearls – with one of the web's most gifted in the art of the flirt, Amelia Dimoldenberg, who on Friday welcomed the fellow Brit on her popular YouTube series 'Chicken Shop Date.' Their blush-inducing conversation ranged from Dimoldenberg calling their relationship 'tantric' (Bailey qualified that description with, 'From afar') to her asking him about the chaps he was planning to wear to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour show that evening. 'Are they going to be with the bum, or without the bum?' she asked, to which Bailey responded, 'We'll see, maybe they'll evolve as the night goes on.' For those who don't know him, Bailey was first introduced to most after an enchanting run on three seasons of 'Bridgerton.' He then caught our attention when he starred in 'Wicked' part one last year as the dashing Prince Fiyero. Next up, Bailey is starring in 'Jurassic Park: Rebirth' alongside Scarlett Johansson, out this week, before he reprises his role as Fiyero in 'Wicked: For Good' in November. What has made audiences fall in love with Bailey offscreen though, is that he can be devilishly flirty and disarmingly wholesome all in the same breath. Further proof: The viral craze that was Bailey's so-called 'slutty little glasses,' a moniker for the eyewear that he sports in 'Jurassic Park: Rebirth' coined by internet personality Blakely Thornton. The moniker stuck after audiences saw Bailey's eyeglasses in the first trailer for the film. Fully embracing the moment, Bailey told Entertainment Tonight at the London premiere of 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' earlier this month that he's 'thrilled that people are having a hormonal explosion linked to optical supports.' He also saw his viral moment as an opportunity for good. Bailey and spectacle maker Cubitts recently partnered to launch a limited-edition pair of sunglasses, inspired by his eyewear worn in the film, according to WWD. A portion of the sales will benefit Bailey's charity The Shameless Fund, which he established last year in support of the LGBTQ+ community to 'live authentically.' Bailey is also busy living out his dream of playing in the 'Jurassic' orchestra when they recorded the score for the new film at Abbey Road Studios. Bailey was able to perform the clarinet solo that played over a scene where his character interacted with a dinosaur for the first time. 'I'm sort of shaking,' Bailey said in a featurette for the film after recording his solo. 'It's a total dream come true.' And then, of course, there's bee-swatter and Internet 'daddy' Pascal, who is literally everywhere lately. He not only recently appeared (and absolutely broke our hearts) in the second season of HBO's 'The Last of Us,' but he also showed up in Celine Song's anti-rom-com 'The Materialists,' out now. If that weren't enough, he will also be appearing in the Ari Aster-directed drama 'Eddington' and Marvel's 'Fantastic Four,' both out later this month. He'll also be reprising his role as the titular helmeted hero in the 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' film next year. Outside of being one of the most sought-after movie and TV stars of the time, Pascal, like Bailey, is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ causes. In April, Pascal set the internet abuzz when he attended Marvel's 'Thunderbolts*' premiere in London wearing a white t-shirt that read 'protect the dolls' to show support for the transgender community, including his sister, Lux Pascal, who came out as a transgender woman in 2021. The t-shirt was designed by London-based designer Conner Ives. All profits from the shirt benefit Trans Lifeline, a charity that offers emotional and financial support to transgender people. The Pascal craze came to a boiling point last month when a lookalike contest was held in New York City, as part of a growing trend that brings out doppelgängers of our most sought out celebs. 'It's the Pedro takeover,' Emma Stone, who stars alongside him in 'Eddington,' gushed about Pascal during an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last week. 'He's so wonderful. He's talented, he's gorgeous, he's nice, he's funny.' We can see it, too, Emma. Even Robert Downey Jr., who will appear alongside Pascal in Marvel's upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday,' can't get enough of Pascal. 'Pascal's slow trajectory to becoming a household name who is on a wildly hot streak kind of reaffirms my faith in our industry,' Downey said in a Vanity Fair interview published last week. Pascal celebrated his milestone 50th birthday in April and spoke playfully and modestly about the renaissance he's currently having at this age. 'Stepping into my 40s felt adult and empowered,' Pascal told the publication. 'Fifty felt more vulnerable—much more vulnerable… What a silly thing for a 50-year-old man—to have all this attention!' 'Silly'? Not quite. More like superb. CNN's Dan Heching contributed to this story.
