NEW ROMANCE REIGNITES HILARY SWANK'S INNER GLOW

SEND TO A FRIEND

14 SEPTEMBER 2006

Her new movie Black Dahlia is pure film noir, so it was entirely appropriate that Hilary Swank showed up to a screening in New York in top-to-toe black. The actress looked a million dollars in her stylish cocktail dress, but it was her beaming smile that indicates she's back on starry form after splitting from her husband earlier this year.

The Oscar-winning actress, who plays a femme fatale in the dark thriller alongside Josh Hartnett, looked radiant at the special screening attended by a host of famous faces including Mischa Barton. Hilary's eight-year marriage to fellow actor Chad Lowe came to an end in January and she has largely remained out of the limelight since, travelling to India for a month of charity work as the divorce proceedings kicked off this summer.

Her current joie de vivre may have something to do with new love John Campisi, 39, one of her agents at Creative Artists Agency. The stunning 32-year-old recently enjoyed a romantic break with her new beau at Donatella Versace's villa on Lake Como. "She's really happy, you can see it in her eyes," a friend told People magazine.

It wasn't just the Big Apple playing host to Hollywood's bright young things. Rachel Bilson, in a floor-length sequinned number, made a sparkling impression at the LA premiere of her film The Last Kiss. The production marks a screen debut for the pretty brunette who is best known to audiences as college student Summer in hit series The OC.
