Mandy Moore Just Sang ‘Only Hope’ From A Walk to Remember, and It's What We All Needed


If you’re anything like me, you may be seeking comfort during these unsettling times in the form of nostalgic TV shows and movies. Mandy Moore definitely gets it and is here with the content you need right now as we start another week of isolation.

The singer-actor and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, have taken to performing music sets on Instagram Live from their home. Moore has been doing songs from her latest (excellent) album, Silver Landings, along with many other classic covers. But on Sunday, April 5, Moore brought out the big guns—emotionally speaking—when she sang “Only Hope” from her famous teen tearjerker, A Walk to Remember.

If for some reason you’ve never seen the movie, based on Nicholas Sparks’s hit novel, it follows the love story of Jamie, the sweet preacher’s daughter who’s battling leukemia, and Landon (Shane West), the popular bad boy forced to join the school play after getting into trouble. You can imagine where things go from there. In one of the movie’s pivotal moments, Landon starts to realize the true depth of his feelings for Jamie as he’s on stage with her during the play. Jamie is famously singing “Only Hope” during this scene—so to hear Moore belt it out again on IG brought on all of the feels.

Check it out for yourself below; it’s beautiful.

Fans were beyond excited.

This scene is super meaningful to Mandy Moore as well. “The most memorable scene [in A Walk to Remember] for me is the school play and singing the song ‘Only Hope,’” she told Entertainment Weekly in 2017. “I remember putting on that beautiful ice blue, silk dress and everyone fawning all over it. It was the first time that I wasn’t in a ratty sweater and an oversized housedress.”

In case you’re now jonesing for a Walk to Remember cry, it’s currently available to rent on Amazon Prime.

Mandy Moore Is Working on a New TV Show Based on Her Life


Long before Mandy Moore was yanking at our heartstrings and racking up Emmy nominations as Rebecca Pearson on This Is Us, she was one of the biggest popstars of the early aughts. If her first single “Candy” hasn’t been stuck in your head for the past two decades, there’s a nostalgia-fueled new show coming to reacquaint us with Moore’s early career on the pop charts.

Audiences will get to relive an interpretation of Moore’s meteoric rise to fame with 90’s Popstar, a TV show coming to ABC. Deadline reports that the show, which has a pilot commitment, will follow a plot loosely based on Mandy Moore’s early stardom. In it, a Florida teen becomes a pop singer seemingly overnight—leaving her and her family to navigate a wild new reality.

The show’s teen singer is inspired by Moore, who signed a recording deal with Empire Records in 1999, when she was just 15 years old. You know the rest of Moore’s story: Her first album, So Real, went platinum, and she reached her first Billboard Top 30 Single with 2000’s “I Wanna Be With You.” Despite her connection to the forthcoming show’s source material, Moore reportedly won’t be playing any of the characters on the show. Instead, she’ll be behind the camera as an executive producer.

One look at the names joining Mandy Moore on 90’s Popstar, and you know this show is going to get emotional. The script is being written by Amanda Lasher, who’s hailed over TV successes including The Bold Type, Gossip Girl, and Riverdale. The rest of the behind-the-scenes team for 90’s Popstar includes This Is US showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who’ll join Moore as executive producers.

Casting announcements and an expected air date haven’t been shared for the pop stardom vehicle quite yet. But with Moore lending a hand, it’s safe to say her new show is going to be good. Until the new show airs, Moore will be busy with This Is Us. NBC announced in May that it ordered three more seasons of Moore’s popular drama.

Mandy Moore Shares the Emotional Reason Behind Her New Haircut


Mandy Moore surprised fans on Instagram Thursday (March 7) when she debuted her new bob haircut. The look, done by Garnier consulting hair stylist Ashley Streicher, is beyond chic: slightly darker than Moore’s normal hair color and styled in loose, beachy waves.

“Surprise! I got a chop,” Moore posted to Instagram yesterday alongside photos of her new hair, taken by Jenna Jones. “I stayed true to my brunette roots, so I wanted to make a big change with my cut.” (The color, in case you’re curious, is Garnier Nutrisse Shade 53 and it’s less than $10.)

See Moore’s post for yourself, below:

The This Is Us actress decided to switch up her hair for two reasons. Her first one is pretty standard. “I just got done with work,” Moore told Access Hollywood in a new interview. “I have to look a certain way for eight months out of the year, so I’m like, ‘Celebrate! Do something different.'”

Her second reason, though, is more emotionally charged, and one anyone who’s been through a particularly fraught experience might relate. A few weeks ago, Moore was one of several women featured in a New York Times article detailing misconduct allegations against musician Ryan Adams. Moore and Adams were married for seven years, and during their relationship she says he was psychologically abusive toward her. Changing her hair, Moore says, helped her close that dark chapter of her life—which she had to revisit for the article—for good.

“The last couple weeks have been sort of—I’m not going to get emotional—have been emotionally turbulent in a way,” she said. “I think there is something significant about shedding dead weight and moving forward.”

Watch Mandy Moore explain this for yourself, below:

Moore says the support she’s received since coming forward about Adams has been overwhelming in the most positive way. “I’m happy that people—women, specifically—who have been in abusive situations of any form feel seen and heard and recognized,” she says. “That’s what I was most surprised about by speaking out: feeling like other women were like, ‘Thank you. I’m encouraged to come forward now.'”

All the Details on Mandy Moore's Gorgeous Wedding Makeup


Mandy Moore‘s surprise backyard wedding to Taylor Goldsmith over the weekend had an ethereal quality—from the dreamy pink tulle gown by Rodarte to the fresh, glowy makeup and the sweet veil.

Glamour got details from Moore’s longtime glam squad (and dear friends), makeup artist Jenn Streicher and hairstylist and Garnier brand stylist Ashley Streicher, about how they created the looks for the actress’s special day.

For the pink-tinged makeup look that walked that perfect line between sweet and saccharine, Jenn said the theme started with the dress. “I wanted the makeup to be timeless and her to literally look like a blushing bride,” she explained. “We (Mandy, my sister and myself) had been obsessing over this Tom Ford single eyeshadow called Fuchsia Foil and thought this was the perfect time to use it. I applied it very sparingly with my finger and loved how it left just a bit of shimmer on the eye.” The trick to pulling off pink eyes, Jenn says, is to use it “very sparingly,” adding that she loves it particularly on green or hazel eyes.

As for the rest of Moore’s flushed bridal look? Jenn used an Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush “generously” on her cheeks and a Dior Lip Glow in Matte Raspberry.

For the This Is Us star’s hair, Ashley also took her cues from the dress. “Mandy’s pink dream-wedding hair was inspired by her custom layered Rodarte dress,” she says. “The perfect pale pink hue of the dress adorned with baby’s breath inspired a whimsical and romantic feel, while still remaining classic.” After prepping Moore’s damp hair with Garnier Fructis Amp Root Lifting Spray Mousse and Plush Mega Full Thickening Lotion, she blew it dry with a small round brush, starting at the roots to increase volume. Then she curled and pinned the back of the hair (starting at the bottom of the head) with a 1¼ -inch curling iron. After it cooled for about 30 minutes, she removed the pins and lightly brushed through her hair before back-combing to create a soft, fluffy wave. To create an extra-romantic vibe, Ashley placed pink baby’s breath throughout Moore’s hair with eyelash glue before affixing her veil with bobby pins.

Gorgeous. It’s no wonder her lipstick is already sold out at Sephora.

Here's Your First Look at Mandy Moore's Dreamy Rodarte Wedding Dress


This Is Us star Mandy Moore was up to something very special over the weekend: She married her longtime boyfriend Taylor Goldsmith in a private Los Angeles ceremony on Sunday (November 18). The couple and their guests are starting to share images of the intimate event on social media, including a look at the bride’s stunning wedding dress, designed by one of her favorite designers.

The first glimpse at the gown came from the bride herself: Moore posted an image of herself in an ethereal floor-length dress, holding hands with Goldsmith, and captioned it “11•18•18,” their wedding date. Even without a tag, it was easy to recognize the designer, if only from Moore’s own red-carpet record: Rodarte

Take a look at her wedding dress, designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, below.

The gown featured tiered layers made from swiss-dot tulle and floral appliqués. It’s a custom version of a style seen on Rodarte’s Haute Couture show back in July, which you can see below, complete with a matching tulle veil.

Back in August, she told People that though she hadn’t settled on a designer for her bridal look, she was “kind of confident that it’s not going to be the stereotypical white wedding dress, because it just doesn’t feel the most me.”

“It’s going to probably be a little bit more non-traditional,” she continued. “I think the whole day will sort of feel a little bit more non-traditional, so the dress will sort of follow suit. I kind of want to feel like the best version of myself.”

Rodarte is a Hollywood favorite. (For its Fall 2018 2018 campaign, it tapped several famous faces, including Kirsten Dunst, Ava Philippe, and Rowan Blanchard to model in its lookbook.) Moore can be counted among the celebrities who admire the brand’s designs: She wore a black and gold Rodarte gown to the 2018 Emmys, just months ago.

The pale-pink wedding dress was a perfect fit for Moore’s intimate nuptials. In her November Glamour cover story, she shared that she wanted a small, simple ceremony with close friends. And though she has yet to share any images from the celebration itself, the first look at her dress says it all: It was incredibly romantic.

Mandy Moore Just Addressed Plastic Surgery Rumors in the Best Way


With a starring role on the hit series This Is Us, Mandy Moore is arguably one of the most talked-about actresses on television today. That exposure comes with its ups and downs, of course—but when it comes to the seemingly inevitable rumors of plastic surgery that celebrities come up against, Moore has a firm message for speculators.

Moore says she’s well aware that there’s chatter about “getting work done,” but she’s not backing down from giving a response. (Even though, for the record, no celebrity owes the public an answer or explanation for the decision to have plastic surgery.) In a conversation with Popsugar, the actress addressed rumors that she had plastic surgery with humor and honesty. The big takeaway? She doesn’t give those rumors any more attention than she needs to.

“I remember seeing some blog post that said I got a nose job,” Moore said in the interview. “I was like, ‘That’s weird—my nose is pretty imperfect.’ I have a crinkled part underneath the bridge of my nose and I remember laughing like, ‘I feel like I would have fixed that had I had a nose job.’ I don’t know, maybe it was just a weird picture or weird makeup or shading or something.”

Moore went on to share that those rumors are pretty pervasive in her industry: “People think everyone in Hollywood has had a nose job or some work done, but it’s not always true. People are going to believe what they want, and that’s fine,” she said. “And if having work done is going to make somebody feel better about themselves, then more power to them.”

In previous interviews, Moore has discussed becoming more self-assured as she’s grown up in Hollywood; now in her thirties, she’s said that the only person whose opinion matters to her now is her own. “You give less of a shit about how the world perceives you,” she said in her November 2018 Glamour cover story. “Now it’s more important to me to be self-satisfying. And I’m better at that. It just comes with time.”
