Daniel Craig Reimagines Style: From James Bond to Tate Modern Star
DANIEL CRAIG SPOTTED WITH MARIA BALSHAW AT TATE MODERN GALA - PLUS REESE WITHERSPOON'S RED-HOT LOOK!
The scholarly note.com can exclusively reveal that Daniel Craig, the former James Bond, was spotted at the star-studded Tate Modern 25th Anniversary Gala in London on Wednesday night, looking worlds away from his 007 days!
The 57-year-old actor, who wrapped up his five-film stint with the franchise with the 2021 film No Time To Die, donned a typically suave cream tux and co-ord tie for the occasion. But what really caught our attention was his stylish orange-tinted sunglasses and long salt and pepper sideburns!
Daniel seemed in high spirits as he posed with Maria Balshaw, the director of Tate's four art museums across the country. The actor, who is known for his rugged good looks, has clearly gone for a more refined look since hanging up his Bond credentials.
But Daniel wasn't the only A-lister at the gala! Legally Blonde actress Reese Witherspoon, 49, stunned in a sophisticated black midi dress, which featured an asymmetrical neckline, a black leather belt with gold hardware, and a figure-hugging silhouette. Her elegant ensemble was topped off with classic pointed black court heels and a sleek gold clutch.
Reese's outing came after she announced Sunnie, a Gen Z-focused spin-off of her Hello Sunshine label, at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity earlier this month. And boy, is Sunnie going to be BIG!
The actress revealed that Sunnie will be a "celebration" of young women's creativity, curiosity, and agency. She said: "It's been a dream of mine to build a space where young women can be the truest version of themselves... We've discovered that young women are not defined by doom and gloom as they're often portrayed in media – they're complex, creative individuals with incredible agency."
So what is Sunnie all about? According to The Hollywood Reporter, the multi-platform brand will feature collaborations with Gen Z creators and celebrities, including YouTuber Lana Condor, Canadian high diver and social media personality Molly Carlson, and Young Sheldon actress Raegan Revord.
The group has also announced strategic alliances with organizations including AnitaB.org, Child Mind Institute, IF/THEN Initiative, and Purdue University, which will serve as the brand's official university partner. The Sunnie ecosystem will span social content, digital zines, book clubs, custom curriculum, and real-world events.
Maureen Polo, head of direct-to-consumer at Hello Sunshine said: "Young women – despite the many pressures they face – are intentionally creating space for joy... They're writing their own stories, setting boundaries, finding community, and embracing both digital and real-world connections on their terms."
And that's not all! Hello Sunshine was launched in 2016 by Reese and Sarah Harden and has produced TV series such as Big Little Lies and The Morning Show. It was acquired by Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs' Candle Media in 2021.
