Meg Ryan wows with chic look at screening for first film in years with The X Files star

Meg Ryan looked effortlessly chic with a stunning complexion when she walked the red carpet for a screening.

The 62-year-old actress attended the BCN Film Festival in Barcelona for the screening of What Happens Later which originally came out last year.

She amazed onlookers in a patterned, high-neck dress which she paired with a pair of open-toe black heels.

The star styled her bob in loose waves for the evening and fans couldn’t help but notice her glowing complexion.

What Happens Later, a romantic-comedy movie that came out in 2023, marked Ryan’s return to the big screen after eight years away from Hollywood.

Not only did she star in the film alongside The X Files legend David Duchovny, Ryan also directed and co-wrote What Happens Later.

While speaking to Interview magazine, The City of Angels actress described the process of putting the film together was done “really quickly” and completed on a budget of $3 million.

She explained: “I hadn’t done a role in a really long time, but it was fun with David [Duchovny].

“A lot of it was done in two shots. I’m proud of that.

“I set up everything beforehand so that once we were there, it was just David and I trying to tell the truth.”

The Sleepless in Seattle star recently opened up on why she chose to take an extended hiatus from the world of acting.

“I took a giant break because I felt like there are just so many other parts of my experience as a human being I wanted to develop,” she told People.

“It’s nice to think of it as a job and not a lifestyle. And that is a great way of navigating it for me.”

Prior to What Happens Later, Ryan’s most recent film was 2015’s Ithaca which she also co-wrote, directed and starred in alongside her son Jack Quaid whom she shares with her ex-husband, actor Dennis Quaid.

She is also mum to Daisy True Ryan, 20, who she adopted back in 2006.

Last month, Ryan made a rare appearance at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party as while she wasn’t nominated herself, her son Jack was in the award-winning movie Oppenheimer.
