Lindsay Lohan commanded attention in a striking pink gown as she joined her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis at the world premiere of Freakier Friday in Mexico on Thursday.
The actress, 39, who has reprised her role for the sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, looked incredible as she opted for full glamour for the outing.
Her dress featured a silky ruffle design down the center which pooled out into a fishtail design.
To complete her glitzy ensemble, Lindsay accessorised with a gold necklace, which attached to her dress, and slicked her blonde tresses into an elegant up-do.
Meanwhile Jamie, 66, cut an elegant but striking display as she stepped out in a bright orange sequin pencil skirt.
She paired her skirt with a silky orange shirt and slipped into a pair of modest, nude, block, heels.
The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places.
Lindsay joined Jamie on stage to speak to a crowd of excited fans during the film festivities.
It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since Lindsay and Jamie portrayed Anna and Tess Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office.
Jamie told People on Tuesday: 'I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people. I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her. We've both been through hard things, because we're alive and life is hard.
'And we're not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me.'
The actress added: '"Safe" is a very important word to me. I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me. Like, I feel very safe with you. I feel safe telling you things. So it's — I know you said "trust," but for me it's "safe."'
The supernatural comedy marks Lindsay's first theatrically released leading role in 18 years after overshadowing her acting career with six court-ordered rehab stints and other Hollywood wild child antics.
The anticipated movie - which is a sequel to the 2003 film - sees Lindsay and Jamie embroiled in quadruple chaos as they swap bodies again - 22 years after they first traded places.
The duo both executive produced and reprised their roles in Nisha Ganatra's mother-daughter swap sequel Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters August 8
The original film followed a mother and teen daughter (played by Curtis and Lohan, respectively) who magically switch bodies after reading a cryptic fortune cookie.
The follow-up film follows a similar plotline to the first movie, however, it features a huge twist involving Gen Z teenage girls that spells chaos for all involved.
This time round, Lindsay's character Anna is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), however things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teen girl Lily (Sophia Hammons).
Meanwhile, Lindsay's paycheck for the original Freaky Friday has recently resurfaced — and fans were stunned.
Despite the 2003 film's massive success, earning over $160 million on a $26 million budget, Lohan was paid just $550,000 for her starring role.
Although her breakout hit was Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday helped coronate her as a teen idol and cemented her status as a major force in Hollywood.
It marked a turning point, though — by the time she filmed 2004's Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, her salary had nearly doubled to a reported $1 million.
She maintained that salary for Mean Girls, which she starred in later that year. The film became one of her signature roles and is now a heavily quoted cultural icon.
Last year, Lohan made a cameo appearance in the musical remake of Mean Girls, reportedly earning $500,000 for the brief role—proof she's moved past her earlier public struggles.
Lindsay seemingly could do no wrong for the next few years as she attracted multimillion-dollar salaries.
Her sequel Herbie: Fully Loaded was savaged by critics, but it still performed well at the box office, while her turn toward arthouse cinema with a supporting part in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion earned stellar reviews and a respectable gross against a tiny budget.
Those successes set up Lohan for her biggest payday ever: a reported $7.5 million that she earned for 2006's Just My Luck.
Her luck ran out with that rom-com, which costarred a young Chris Pine.
The film bombed with critics and audiences alike, and it grossed only $38 million against a budget of $28 million, of which Lohan's salary accounted for a significant chunk.
Although it made more money than its production costs, Just My Luck likely made little if any profit when factoring in advertising and other promotional costs.
Things went downhill from there. Her next lead role wasn't until 2007's Georgia Rule, which she starred in with Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman, but the film underperformed.
That year she starred in the preposterous horror thriller I Know Who Killed Me, which bombed at the box office, and the TV movie Labor Pains.
Lohans career then shifted into a period in which she largely appeared in cameo roles as herself or in small supporting parts.
Her lead role in the controversial Paul Schrader thriller The Canyons in 2013 helped her regain some critical interest, but she failed to capitalize on it with strong roles. Lohan also didn't star in any films between 2015 and 2019.
More recently, she has tried to reinvent herself with the forgettable and poorly reviewed Netflix rom-coms Falling For Christmas (2022), Irish Wish (2024) and Our Little Secret (2024).

Outlander's Sam Heughan teases Jamie and Claire Fraser ‘loss' in season 8

The Outlander star suggested the couple faced fresh danger Outlander actor Sam Heughan has teased that his character Jamie Fraser and wife Claire (Caitríona Balfe) could be torn apart again in the eighth and final season of the hit Starz series. ‌ The 45-year-old Scottish star, who has a new film role, said the last outing would see his Highlander alter-ego as "more fragile having more to lose', after a teaser hinted at Jamie's death. ‌ He went on to address a possible separation between the two and said: 'Having lost Claire about 50 times, he knows what it is to lose her and he will do anything to stop that from happening. So yeah, it's been an amazing journey to go with them.' ‌ Each season of Outlander has seen the central couple thrown into peril and separated by various outside forces, but it looks like season eight could see even more of this. He went on to address the big season seven cliffhanger, which suggested their stillborn daughter Faith Fraser had miraculously survived thanks to a time travel intervention by Master Raymond (Dominique Pinon). ‌ Heughan hinted the song from season two, I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside, would function as "the jumping off point for season eight'. He went on to suggest the story would give answers as the series will "explore that the faith of it all perhaps". Moreover, Heughan said the events of season eight would be mind-blowing and their world is about to change very differently". ‌ Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Heughan and his Outlander co-star Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin teased what else fans could expect from the final outing. The ending of the TV show has been of particular interest after the series surpassed the novels and takes a different path to the source material. ‌ Rebus star Rankin, 42, explained how it was "hard' because the show didn't finish adapting the books, with author Diana Gabaldon deep into writing the 10th and final novel. He said: 'And I think you know how do you tie up uh you know all of these stories and and make a satisfying ending?' ‌ Nonetheless, Rankin said the cast and crew wanted to deliver a strong final season, saying "we all wanted to come back and give something that felt satisfactory" for the fans. Season eight is also said to be 'bittersweet', a sentiment shard by executive producer Maril Davis. ‌ The Outlander panel comes after Starz shared a first-look teaser at season eight, featuring Jamie reading Frank Randall's (Tobias Menzies) book, which stated his death as the impending war finally hit. Claire looked shocked at her husband as he served up the big bombshell. Despite this, there are hopes that the show will finally give an explanation about Jamie's ghost, which was seen watching Claire in the series premiere over a decade ago.

I would however like to request that you now at the age of 21 learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we'll get there for next year." And she concluded: "Happy Birthday Charley, Have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum." Charley's dad Jamie, who was married to Louise from 1998 until 2017, also took to social media to celebrate over the weekend. Sharing a collection of snaps himself, the football legend wrote: "21 today. ‌ "So proud of the man you're becoming and even prouder to call you not just my son, but my mate. Keep putting in the work, your dreams are within reach." Name checking his other son with Louise, 16-year-old Beau, and three-year-old Raphael who he shares with wife Frida Andersson, 41, Jamie continued: "You're also the best big brother, the way you are with Rapha and Beau melts my heart. Such a great role model, and they're so lucky to have you." ‌ He went on: "Now that you're 21, I'm hoping you'll finally start beating me at golf … but I won't make it easy!

Outlander Blood of My Blood fans thrilled at 'sweetest teaser yet' and huge appearance

Outlander's Jocasta Cameron has delighted fans after a new teaser from Diana Gabaldon's spin-off confirmed the characters early days will play out on screen. Outlander fans have been thrilled following the latest teaser for its highly-anticipated spin off, Blood of My Blood. It comes as the fanbase for the original Starz show are eagerly awaiting the eighth and final series. ‌ Although the love story of Claire and Jamie Fraser (Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan) has nearly come to a bittersweet end, fans are set to be transported back in time for a nostalgic look at how both their parents first met in the new spin-off show. ‌ Taking to discussion platform Reddit following a new teaser for the upcoming programe, which is set to air later this year on August 8, fans have been thrilled at seeing a much younger version of one favourite character. And yet again, it appears the production have hit the nail on the head with casting. ‌ Following the trailer, which confirmed character Jocasta Camerson would be making an appearance, one fan exclaimed, "oh wow! I really buy this casting as a young maria doyle kennedy" One person excitedly wrote, "Was totally not expecting her in this but I am so hyped now. This show better not let me down with how much it's being promoted." ‌ "This is the sweetest teaser yet - a forbidden love story?," one fan excitedly mused. Someone else quipped, "Jocosta is one of my favourite characters. So strong, so vulnerable, so beautiful." "The actress definitely got her mannerisms down! They always do perfect casting it seems," shared another. "Since the show had Murtagh and Jocasta in a relationship S4/5 it'll be interesting to see the dynamics between he, Murtagh and Ellen throughout this prequel," another wrote. ‌ They continued to speculate, "Will Jocasta be jealous he's into Ellen?.... will Murtagh turn his attentions to Jocasta out of hope for making Ellen jealous/because he can't have who he wants? (kinda like Jamie did with Laorghaire when he wanted Claire jealous/couldn't initially have her) Will be interesting. I'm excited for the prequel and new dynamics between characters." Elsewhere, some fans have been sharing their hopes for the spin-off. One fan stated, "Jamie stated in season one that it was normal for husbands to hit their wives to 'discipline' them- 'and so it was with my own mother and father', and Jamie expected that afterwards things would just go back to normal, and the wife would be chastened but not hold a grudge." ‌ They continued, "If that truly was the norm, and Jamie really did experience that with his mother and father, I hope the show doesn't shy away from showing it. Ellen should be her own character, not a proto-Claire, expecting to be treated according to standards that don't exist in her time." Many of the Outlander fanbase, which is based on Diana Gabaldon's original award-winning novels, are hoping the characters bring as much on-screen energy as both Claire and Jamie Fraser did, played by Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe. "I hope they found some actors with amazing chemistry because they will live in the shadow of the original couple's chemistry. I already feel bad for the comparisons that are to come, but I am also really excited about new material," gushed one fan.
