Welsh bombshell Catherine Zeta-Jones turned heads on the red carpet at the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards. The 55-year-old actress stunned in a semi-sheer black gown that showcased her enviable physique, complete with sparkly platform heels and chic chandelier earrings.

This year's Emmy Awards saw a plethora of talented stars vying for top honors, but none more impressive than Owen Cooper, the young whippersnapper from Adolescence. The teen sensation is set to make history as the youngest ever male winner if he scoops the Supporting Actor Award for his Netflix smash hit series.

Cooper's co-stars Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham also received nods in various categories. While Graham is nominated for Outstanding Leading Actor and Outstanding Writing in a Limited Series, Doherty is up for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie prize.

AIMEE LOU WOOD SPEAKS OUT ON IMPERSONALITY SYNDROME

Actress Aimee Lou Wood, known for her critically acclaimed role in The White Lotus, has opened up about her struggles with imposter syndrome. In an interview with British GQ, the 31-year-old confessed that she spiralled into anxiety when a producer revealed Mike White had to "fight" to cast her.

"I just wanted to clear that up because HBO have been nothing but super supportive," Aimee explained, revealing how her insecurity was rooted in self-doubt. "I thought, 'HBO didn't want me. And I know why HBO didn't want me, it's because I'm ugly.'"

Meanwhile, The White Lotus cast members Colin Farrell and Aimee Lou Wood stunned on the red carpet in bespoke ensembles. However, insiders revealed that there was more drama brewing behind the scenes between co-stars.

"Colin won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor earlier this year," a source spilled. "He's been feeling extra confident about his role in The Penguin and has reportedly become quite close to the show's creator, Mike White."

ADOLESCENCE AND THE WHITE LOTUS DOMINATE NOMINATIONS
