At a series of press events, including appearances at the Picturehouse and the Barbican, Seyfried impressed fans and journalists alike. Dressed in a sleek, elegant outfit that highlighted her bright complexion, she looked both poised and energized despite the long day of interviews and photo calls. Her aura combined classic movie-star glamour with a down-to-earth warmth, a balance that has made her one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.
In The Testament of Ann Lee, Seyfried plays the titular character, the founder of the Shaker religious sect. The film, described as a “musical biopic,” traces Lee’s journey from working-class Manchester to a spiritual leader in colonial America. Seyfried has already received widespread praise for her performance, with critics calling it a career-defining role that captures the ecstasy and agony of a woman who was even considered the female Christ by her followers.

To prepare for the role, she trained for over a year to master the film’s ecstatic dance sequences, which depict the purging of sin. This dedication has paid off, earning her an Astra Film Award for Best Actress and two Golden Globe nominations earlier this year. Seyfried spoke about the challenges of the role, saying “darkness is reality” when portraying someone who endured intense personal hardship and persecution.
The film is directed by Mona Fastvold and co-written by Brady Corbet, the team behind The Brutalist. Seyfried is supported by an impressive cast, including Thomasin McKenzie as her friend Mary Partington, Lewis Pullman as her brother William, and Christopher Abbott as her husband Abraham Standerin. The movie also features an original score by Oscar-winner Daniel Blumberg, which Seyfried performed live at a special London concert to celebrate the film’s release.
Seyfried has kept busy beyond this project. She recently starred opposite Sydney Sweeney in the psychological thriller The Housemaid, adapted from Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel. She also led the limited series Long Bright River, proving her versatility across both film and television.
Off-screen, she celebrated her 40th birthday in 2025 with a nostalgic roller-skating party upstate, surrounded by her children and close friends. She has spoken about this stage in her life, saying she is “very appreciative of where she is standing right now” as she balances motherhood with high-stakes career decisions. Rumors about a potential Mamma Mia! 3 and other unannounced projects suggest her schedule is only going to get busier.
