Maisie Williams Stuns in Tube Top While Sharing Sweet Moment with Her Dog

Maisie Williams has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with in the acting world, gaining widespread recognition for her iconic role in Game of Thrones. Recently, she showcased her versatility by starring in the Apple TV series The New Look. But beyond her impressive career, Williams also gives fans a glimpse into her everyday life on Instagram. A few weeks ago, she shared a candid post featuring moments like walking her dog, savoring some chicken nuggets, and soaking up the sun, with the playful caption: "A love triangle between me, my dog, and my @peachyden cardigan x." If you’re curious about how Maisie maintains her health and well-being, keep reading to discover five ways she stays in shape—along with the photos that prove her methods really work.

1. She Works When She’s In A Good Place

Williams opened up about her career to ELLE. She says that she wants to work when she’s in a good place. “I think you can really make good work when you, yourself, are in a good place. I think there’s this idea of the pained artist, someone who can only create because of the pain, and if you were to be healed from the pain, then would you still be able to make good work? Everyone thinks about that differently, but for me, I certainly feel like the best work that I’ve ever done is from a place where I feel like my life is going well and it’s not just about work.”

Williams tells ELLE that she likes to practice meditation, and she did this while shooting The New Look. “I spent a lot of time meditating while shooting. And so a lot of this mental strain—I know it was definitely there, but I think I just let it pass over me. I didn’t hold onto it so much. I let go a lot of my responsibilities in my own life in preparation. I came away from all of my friends and my family and from my phone. I don’t think I looked at my phone for a month.”

3. She’s Comfortable

Williams tells ELLE that shooting The New Look made her a lot more comfortable with her life. “It felt like a real cleansing of a lot of things, like I could reintroduce all of these parts of my life that I loved and not reintroduce the parts that I didn’t. I remember spending so much more time with my friends after [filming The New Look] than I had before. I have the most amazing friendships, but I felt like over the last year, which was the year after I had been filming, they really flourished so much more than [they] had before. It was so nice to have this sort of freedom of waking up every single day and asking myself, ‘What do I want to do today, and how do I want to spend my time? And how on a scale of one to 10, how do I feel? And if it’s not a 10, what is it?’ I felt like I had this new lease of life, in a way.”

4. She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Williams has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her favorite products and tricks in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. "Simplicity is my method for filling my beauty bag,” Williams revealed. “I would describe my beauty philosophy as being ‘high low’; I like having very few, very special products.”

5. She Walks

As you can see in her Instagram post, one way Williams stays fit is walking with her dog. Walking has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health reports, “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

Lily James is in Greece. How fitting. One of her most famous films, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, was set there, so she looks right at home. The actor shares a series of swimsuit looks. How does she stay so fit and centered? From meditative mornings to post-shoot rejuvenation, James has painted a vivid picture of her daily life in interviews. The actress also reflects on the essence of love, as captured by Richard Curtis, and recounts her personal romantic favorites. Read on to see her latest looks.

1. She Meditates

“The first thing I do when I wake up is, I'd like to say meditate. I've started meditating, but it's probably just look at my phone. Meditate, or look at Instagram. It's one of the two,” she told Net-a-Porter.

2. This is What She Does When a Shoot is Over

“The first thing I do after wrapping a shoot–well, there's a healthy version and an unhealthy version,” she told Net-a-Porter. “The best thing that I could do for myself because your nervous system is so exhausted, is to go on nice long walks and go somewhere, be in nature, be relaxed and calm. But often, all I want to do is eat and drink!”

3. This is Her Richard Curtis Moment

When asked about Richard Curtis’ take on love—the screenwriter wrote her movie Yesterday, as well as Notting Hill and Love Actually—James had this to say: “Well, there's always a moment where you have to sort of with energy run towards the person you love or beat time or else it won't succeed. I wonder if I've had that yet. I don't think I have.” He pauses. “Oh, I actually had an amazing moment when my boyfriend flew to New York and as a surprise when I was doing press there, and he tried to get up to the room, but it all fell apart because the personal reception wouldn't let him up to the room. So instead of knocking on my door and arriving, you had to call up from reception. It slightly ruined it, but that was a rushing to get there, I suppose. But that feeling that you're against times against you and that love has to seize the moment,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

4. This Was Her Most Romantic Look

“I loved the EMM dress I wore for the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies premiere. It was kind of had an off-the-sleeve cropped top and a long skirt, but it was black and gray, so it wasn't that, but it was because on the night, well, first of all, actually I was at the premier with Matt [Smith] because we were both in the movie. So that felt quite amazing. And also the wind was really strong and that had a ribbon, and the photos just looked quite sort of old school and quite romantic, I think.”

5. She Loves to Laugh

“I think that everyone loves to laugh,” James said about her rom-com What’s Love Got to Do With It at the Toronto International Film Festival. “I think it's like every single one of us on the planet is, I think in one way or another, searching for love, whether it be in your family or in a partner. And we all get it wrong and we all get it right. We are all in this big mess. And she always said, my character's like in a washing machine the whole time.

Summer might be over, but Millie Bobby Brown is still enjoying pool time with her pups. The 18-year-old Stranger Things and Enola Holmes star posted an adorable swimsuit picture of herself cuddling with golden labrador, Marley. “Pool day with marley mops <3,” she captioned the picture. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brown stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Loves Avocado Toast

Unlike her Stranger Things character Eleven, Brown prefers avocado toast (which she thinks brings her good luck) to Eggos. “I’m not a breakfast person,” she previously told The Wrap. “If I had to, it’s avocado toast. That’s my victory breakfast! I ate it before the MTV Awards, I ate avocado toast before the SAG awards. I didn’t eat avocado toast before the Golden Globes…I’m going to be eating it before the Emmys. Hopefully something will come of that. And if I win, I’m going to thank my avocado toast on stage!”

2. She Is Addicted To Lattes

Brown enjoys lattes every day and says she can’t do without them. “There aren’t a lot of downsides to drinking moderate amounts of coffee — and in fact, it can have positive effects on your health,” says registered dietitian Andrea Dunn, RD. “Coffee contains about a thousand different botanical compounds. Surprisingly, coffee is the single best source of antioxidants in the American diet.”

3. She Loves a Good Burger

Brown eats plenty of salads and healthy food, but balances it out now and again with burgers and fries (although she doesn’t like how tomatoes make the buns soggy). “Pile high the veggie toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions or add some extra flavor by grilling onions and mushrooms,” says Toby Amidor, MS, RD, CDN. “If you're a cheeseburger lover, stick with one slice of cheese or you'll send the calories and sodium through the roof. Also be mindful with condiments like ketchup, mayo, and barbecue sauce because of the extra fat and added sugar and keep portions to 1 tablespoon.”.

4. She Walks Her Dog

Brown enjoys long walks with her adorable little pup Winnie. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season,” says Harvard Health. “A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

5. She Loves Meat

Brown enjoys meat, and says if she were to steal anything from a grocery store (as her character Eleven did with Eggos), it would be ham. “I’d probably go for really nice ham. Really really good ham, and then I’d have bread at home, and I’d make a really good sandwich,” she says. “Or, I’d run in and get chili con carne. That’s one of my favorites. Cook it on a pot on the stove, and then boom. Done… I eat salads. I have all the salads on set. I have Caesar salad. Mixed salads. There’s always such good salads on set, all the time. And then I’ll have some meat on the side, because I just love my meat.”
