Kirsten Dunst Joins 'The Housemaid 2' Starring Sydney Sweeney and Michele Morrone Kirsten Dunst is set to return to the screen in the highly anticipated sequel to The Housemaid, titled The Housemaid’s Secret. The project, which has already begun production, will reunite Dunst with Sydney Sweeney, who will reprise her role from the original film. The creative team behind the first installment, including director Paul Feig and writer Rebecca Sonnenshine, has confirmed their return for the sequel, adding to the excitement surrounding the project. Michele Morrone, who played the character Enzo in the first film, will also rejoin the cast for the second installment. Dunst’s casting marks a significant addition to the cast, with the production company’s president praising her as an “icon” and highlighting her “extraordinary range and fearlessness.” The statement emphasized her dynamic presence alongside Sweeney, who is described as “ever-magnetic,” in a story where “nothing is ever quite as it seems.” The sequel is expected to expand on the mysterious and suspenseful elements of the original film, which centered on a broke student who becomes a housemaid in a wealthy household, uncovering hidden secrets and lies within the family. This role follows Dunst’s recent appearances in other projects, including her collaboration with Channing Tatum in The Roofman and her involvement in the Minecraft movie sequel. Dunst took to social media to announce her Minecraft role, expressing her excitement with a post featuring a fire emoji and a chicken leg emoji. Her continued engagement in high-profile sequels underscores her enduring presence in Hollywood. The original The Housemaid film, released earlier, followed the story of a young woman who takes a job as a housemaid in a affluent neighborhood.#kirsten_dunst #sydney_sweeney #rebecca_sonnenshine #paul_feig #michele_morrone
The Housemaid’s Secret Adds Kirsten Dunst Opposite Sydney Sweeney Lionsgate has announced the cast for the sequel to its 2025 hit The Housemaid, with Kirsten Dunst joining Sydney Sweeney in The Housemaid’s Secret. Based on Freida McFadden’s second book in the Housemaid series, the film will be directed by Paul Feig, who also helmed the original. Feig will collaborate with producers Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, Lieberman’s Pretty Dangerous Pictures, and Sweeney’s Fifty-Fifty Films. Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first novel into the successful film, will return to pen the sequel. Michele Morrone, who played Enzo in the original, will reprise his role. The sequel follows Millie, portrayed by Sweeney, as she takes a housekeeping job for a woman she has never met. The plot centers on her discovery of a locked door that reveals secrets far more sinister than she anticipated. The project will be executive produced by Carly Elter of Hidden Pictures, Alex Young of Hidden Pictures, and Fifty-Fifty’s Kaylee McGregor. Lionsgate’s decision to cast Dunst was driven by her status as an A-lister and her recent work in Roofman. The studio secured her after a series of meetings, recognizing her as a perfect match for the role. Dunst, who is also set to star in the sequel to A Minecraft Movie and Ruben Östlund’s The Entertainment System Is Down, has been in high demand following her performance in Roofman. The original The Housemaid became a global box office success, grossing nearly $400 million worldwide after its holiday release. Lionsgate’s swift move to lock in Sweeney’s schedule and secure Dunst for the sequel underscores the film’s anticipated commercial potential.#kirsten_dunst #sydney_sweeney #paul_feig #hidden_pictures #fifty_fifty_films
Kirsten Dunst's Khaite Heels Make a Statement at SAG Actor Awards Kirsten Dunst made a fashion-forward entrance at the 32nd annual Actor Awards on Sunday, opting for a whimsical yet sophisticated look. The actress, who attended the ceremony hosted by SAG-AFTRA at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, wore a standout pair of Khaite heels from the brand’s fall 2026 collection. Paired with a dress from the same line, her outfit drew attention for its blend of minimalist design and bold detailing. The Khaite heels featured a unique sculptural block heel that tapers and flares at the base, offering a striking contrast to the sky-high footwear chosen by many other attendees. Dunst’s choice of a 75mm heel—just under three inches—stood out as a more conservative yet distinctive option. The shoes’ architectural silhouette, combined with their high-cut design, complemented her ensemble, which included a backless dress with a drop waist, an A-line midi skirt, and a large front bow. The dress also showcased a lace pattern along the back, adding texture to her look. Dunst’s selection of Khaite aligns with her reputation for favoring standout footwear. The actress, who attended the event to support her husband’s Best Actor nomination for Bugonia, has previously been spotted in designs from brands like Loewe, Gianvito Rossi, Andrea Wazen, Jennifer Chamandi, and Valentino. Her fashion choices often reflect a balance between elegance and individuality, making her a frequent presence in high-profile red carpet moments. The 32nd annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, celebrated the best performances in film and television from 2025.#ryan_coogler #shrine_auditorium #kirsten_dunst #khaite #sag_aftra
Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons Are Hollywood’s Most Private Power Couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons have long been celebrated as one of Hollywood’s most discreet yet endearing couples, balancing their personal lives with high-profile careers. While Plemons missed out on an Oscar nomination in 2026, his performance in Bugonia earned him a BAFTA nod, prompting Dunst to make a series of striking red carpet appearances in support of her partner. Dunst made a bold fashion statement at Chanel’s pre-BAFTA party in London on February 21, donning a sheer black dress from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2026 collection. The look, paired with red-and-black heels and a matching red lip, drew widespread admiration for its elegance and audacity. The next day, she joined Plemons at the BAFTA Film Awards in a vibrant pink and black Valentino couture ensemble, further cementing her status as a style icon. The couple’s journey began in 2017, when Dunst and Plemons, who played siblings in Fargo, became engaged after a year together. They welcomed their first son, Ennis, in May 2018, and their second child, James, in May 2021. Their marriage in July 2022, a private ceremony in Jamaica, marked a quiet yet significant milestone in their relationship. Dunst has often spoken about her fashion inspirations, revealing in a W Magazine interview that her style is shaped by a blend of personal and cinematic influences. She cited Sofia Coppola’s effortless chic, her mother’s playful sense of style, and iconic film figures like Nastassja Kinski, Blondie, and Charlotte Rampling. “The ’70s is my favorite era in terms of fashion,” she said, highlighting her enduring admiration for that decade’s bold aesthetics.#kirsten_dunst #jessie_plemons #chanel #valentino #bafta_film_awards
Kirsten Dunst Ditches Signature Hair at Actor Awards 2026 in Apron LBD Kirsten Dunst made a striking appearance at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards on March 1, 2026, stepping away from her signature sleek blowout for a bold coquette-inspired updo. The Interview with the Vampire star opted for a side-parted style adorned with a large black bow, paired with an apron-style dress that featured a side-baring and backless design. The gown, which included floral embroidered appliqués on the bodice, flowed into a ballgown skirt with exaggerated hips and a soft gathered silhouette. Dunst completed her look with black pointy-toed stilettos, smoky black eyeliner, a rose pink lip, and a diamond tennis necklace. The actress accompanied her husband, Jesse Plemons, to the event, where he was nominated for his first-ever Actor Award for his role in Bugonia opposite Emma Stone. Plemons wore an espresso-hued suit with a dual-toned brown and black lapel, a tailored blazer jacket, and a crisp black dress shirt, paired with shiny black patent leather shoes. Dunst’s outfit drew attention to her figure, with the dress’s dainty straps holding the backless bodice in place while showcasing a side boob-baring silhouette. Dunst’s choice to forgo her usual hairstyle marked a departure from her usual red carpet look, surprising fans and attendees. She previously discussed her approach to couples’ dressing, joking in a September interview with Town & Country that she and Plemons often unintentionally match their styles. “One of us changes, though,” she noted, adding that she avoids coordinating with her husband. The Actor Awards red carpet also featured other notable arrivals, including Sarah Paulson’s French girl transformation, Gwyneth Paltrow’s plunging lingerie-inspired gown, and Emma Stone’s chainmail dress.#kirsten_dunst #jessie_plemons #actor_awards #town_country #bugonia
