Tessa Thompson snuggles up to new boyfriend Brandon Green as they hold hands on romantic holiday in Portofino
The Creed actress, 41, looked chic in a cream sundress as she held hands with The Alchemy of Money CEO, 31.
The Thor: Ragnarok star added elegant black shades to accessorise and wore chic red open-toe heels for her outing.
The couple - who enjoyed a double date with LeBron James and wife Savannah in St Tropez last week - couldn't keep their hands off one another as they cherished every bit of the dolce vita.
Soaking up the sun in the Italian Riviera coastline, Tessa looked on cloud nine beaming next to her partner, who previously dated Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
Tessa and the son of controversial tycoon Sir Philip Green were first linked in March 2024 and have been spotted together countless times since, with reports suggesting that they are officially an item.
While Tessa famously keeps tight-lipped on her romantic endeavours, she has been linked to Brandon for more than a year.
They were first spotted looking cosy at a Lakers game in March 2024 as they appeared happy in each other's company while sitting courtside.
Between watching baskets, Tessa and Brandon seemed to have eyes for each other as they beamed at one another.
Since then, they have been seen together on a number of occasions, most recently at BST Hyde Park to watch Stevie Wonder.
Over the years, Tessa - who identifies as bisexual - has been linked to several high-profile people, including Janelle Monae.
In 2015, she was believed to have started dating Janelle after starring as a backup dancer in their Yoga video, according to PopSugar.
The pair were also seen together at the 2015 MOCA gala, and three years later Tessa was featured in Janelle's music video for Dirty Computer.
Meanwhile, Brandon has previously dated a number of models. He was once caught patting Kate Moss' bottom on holiday in St Barts.
However, it looked like he was set to settle down with outspoken actress and activist Emma, when they started dating in 2021.
The couple dated for 18 months until it seems that Emma had some kind of an epiphany connected to her 'Saturn return' and decided that she wanted out of the relationship.
A Saturn return refers to time when the planet Saturn goes back to the position it was in at the moment you were born.
Astrologers say it signifies the end of one life-cycle and the beginning of the next, and it happens at around the ages of 29, 58 and 84, bringing with it 'monumental shifts' in lifestyle.

Reality TV couple take major step in their relationship amid ongoing feud with TV star ex – and she won't be happy
A REALITY TV couple have made a major step in their relationship as their romance continues to heat up. Love Island star Abi Moores and her MAFS hunk boyfriend Nathan Campbell have been dating since February of this year but now they look set to make things even more official with a huge gesture. 5 5 5 The Sun can exclusively reveal the pair will be moving in together in a plush pad in West London. Their decision to take things up a gear comes amid the ongoing jibes from Nathan's MAFS ex Lacey which exploded at this year's National Reality TV Awards. A source told The Sun: "Things have been going really well for Abi and Nathan since they started dating earlier this year and so moving in together felt like a natural step. "They are already expecting to have some reaction from Nathan's ex Lacey and her constant jibes on social media but they don't care what she thinks. "Abi and Nathan know they are the real deal and can't wait to be living together under the same roof. "Having their own luxury pad together means they can block out all of the noise and get on with their lives." The couple look set to make the big move this weekend with plans to share updates on their new home across their social media channels. News of their big move comes after they had an awkward run-in with Nathan's MAFS ex Lacey at the NRTAs. Onlookers were left stunned when Lacey appeared to launch into a huge rant about Nathan in front of their co-stars in which she continually insisted she was "living in his head rent-free". One eyewitness told The Sun: "It was clear there was no love lost between them and even Lacey's co-stars were stunned as she went on a sweary rant about her ex." MAFS UK's Nathan reveals first date with Love Island star Abi Moores almost ended in disaster as they go public with romance The Sun previously told how Nathan and Abi were kept apart from Lacey inside the ceremony after being seated on different tables. As Nathan cosied up to his girlfriend, organisers were forced to separate him from Lacey by seating him on a different table. A source told The Sun: "Lacey and Nathan had to be kept away from each other at the National Reality TV Awards. "It was chaos as he was supposed to be on the MAFS table but she wouldn't have sat there if he was there. "He was all over his girlfriend Abi, so they had to be sat at a separate table." Nathan made Abi his girlfriend earlier this year with a lavish proposal as well as presenting her with a stunning ring - in a scene that would not look out of place for an official engagement. 5 5

Pucci's vibrant swirly prints enjoy another fashion moment
When it comes to glamorous fans, Emilio Pucci was the envy of other fashion designers. During the 1950s and 60s, the 'prince of prints' – as the designer became known – dressed Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Sophia Loren. Marilyn Monroe was even buried in the brand. And now, more than 30 years after his death, Pucci's trademark vibrant swirly prints are enjoying another fashion moment. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. The return of Pucci has been bubbling up through content creators on TikTok, and the brand has the endorsement of Gen Z favourite Hailey Bieber. But it was confirmed this week when Lyst, the fashion data experts, revealed that searches for the brand had increased 96% in the second quarter of the year. Two of the classic prints – the pink Marmo from 1968 and the Orchidee from 1966 – were particularly popular, on minidresses and handkerchief tops. While not everyone can afford the prices of new Pucci – a Orchidee minidress is £645 – Depop also report a rise in secondhand: searches are up 381% since January on the resale app. And there are Pucci-like prints on fast fashion sites such as Shein and Asos for as little as £14.51. Pucci's popularity is about more than irresistible bright prints. It signposts a change in mood. Katy Lubin, the vice-president of brand and communications at Lyst, says: 'It's been years of this quite serious, quite luxury, minimal, intellectual fashion, or just quite plain and neutral-y fashion. It's exciting to see something that feels colourful and fun and fresh – especially during summertime.' The season is another factor. On social media, videos showing Pucci often feature the hashtag #puccigirl or #puccisummer – one Vogue writer reported in April: 'The Pucci woman is taking over my summer moodboard'. The trend is an offshoot of a wider aesthetic called 'Euro summer', which highlights the props that represent a starter pack of summer on the continent – from tomatoes and pasta, to white walls and blue sea. It seems Italian brands with print and colour are part of this, too. Lubin says there is also renewed interest in Missoni, Versace and Roberto Cavalli, but describes Pucci as 'the hero brand'. This status is down to Pucci's history – and its association with jet-set holidays. The label was founded by Pucci, a marchese who grew up in a palace in Florence. He launched his brand in the 1940s and opened a boutique in Capri in 1950. In the 50s and 60s, Taylor and others began wearing the designs on holiday. Now, says a Depop spokesperson, 'the brand's psychedelic prints [are] synonymous with Italian glamour and vintage style'. Camille Miceli has been the creative director of Pucci since 2021, and she has doubled down on this heritage. Speaking not long after her appointment, she said: 'Pucci isn't a conceptual brand, it's a lifestyle brand, so its message has to be direct.' This message has been clearly signposted by the staging of the brand's shows – the most recent took place in Portofino, another upscale Italian holiday destination. It's a move that helps the brand appeal both to the wealthy women that go to such locations, and those who aspire to do so. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Pucci's prints might not be a monogram but the fact they are so recognisable means they still work to show the wearer's wealth. Depop's spokesperson argues this points to the return of 'a more maximalist style of dressing – [it's] less brash than the logomania of the 2010s but still gives instant 'if you know, you know' cues to other fashion insiders'. Lubin, meanwhile, describes the prints as 'the equivalent to the logo to be seen in this summer'. As a brand so associated with the summer season, what are the chances that these prints will still be seen as autumn arrives? If minidresses and handkerchief tops might make an exit, Lubin says silk scarves will remain: 'That could be one way we will see Pucci beyond the beach.'

Hollywood star's nepo baby son reveals ripped torso and bulging biceps while on holiday with his stunning girlfriend
Louis Serkis showed off his ripped torso and bulging biceps while on holiday with his stunning girlfriend on Instagram on Thursday. The nepo baby is the son of Andy Serkis, who famously spent hours in a motion-capture suit to transform into Gollum for The Lord of the Rings. Now his film and TV star son is turning heads with an eye-catching transformation of his own. The 21-year-old scion of British acting royalty shared a series of shirtless holiday snaps, while revealing an impressively sculpted physique. In the photos, the rising star can be seen on a beach in Colombia, wearing nothing but black swim shorts and sunglasses. Louis is the youngest son of Andy and his wife, the actress Lorraine Ashbourne, who stars in Netflix hit Bridgerton. The 21-year-old scion of British acting royalty shared a series of holiday snaps with his girl, who the Daily Mail can reveal is British equestrian-turned-stuntwoman Amelia Haynes While his dad is famous for disappearing into digital characters like Caesar in Planet of the Apes, Louis is very much stepping into the spotlight as himself. Alongside his beach snaps, Louis also shared photos of his girlfriend, who the Daily Mail can reveal is British equestrian-turned-stuntwoman Amelia Haynes. The stunning blonde also shared a photo of them on Instagram as she stunned in a floral sundress as Louis planted a kiss on her head. Louis' first on-screen appearance was in 2012's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which featured his dad's return as Gollum. The role, credited as 'Cute Young Hobbit', marked the beginning of what has become a successful journey so far into the family business. In 2018, he appeared as the wolf cub Bhoot in Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, directed by and co-starring his father. He then landed the lead role in the 2019 film, The Kid Who Would Be King, co-starring Sir Patrick Stewart and Rebecca Ferguson. He also starred alongside Anya Taylor-Joy in the hit Netflix series, The Queen's Gambit, and more recently, played the troubled teen son of Martin Clunes' character in ITV's Out There. Louis' sister Ruby, is also an actress, best known for The Letter for the King on Netflix, while his brother Sonny has dipped into acting too. 'I was never obliged to take part in what they do and they never forced it on me and said 'this is what your going to do',' Louis told The Mirror earlier this year. 'But I love it, I have always loved entertaining and bringing joy through that. 'I think if you get the opportunity to tell a story and to inspire people I think you should take it. 'I was young and in a way stumbled into acting, and tried it when I was around seven or eight.' The star is doing his parents proud, as his dad gushed in 2019 to Entertainment Tonight: 'I'm just extraordinarily proud. Seeing him go through all the work, the training, the buildup and then the filming. 'All my kids are just growing up. They're experiencing travelling and seeing the world... having their experiences broadened. It's great.'
