WASHINGTON — Pop star Shawn Mendes on Sept. 2, 2021, shared an appreciation post for his girlfriend, Camila Cabello, for the release of her debut movie “Cinderella.”
The “Senorita” singer took to his Instagram handle and shared a picture featuring him kissing Cabello. Along with the picture, he penned a note praising her for her dedication to work.
“Congratulations my love, I’m so proud of you. I’ve never seen anybody work as hard as you did to show up every day and be truly professional, kind, and authentic. I admire you so much. Such a beautiful movie with a beautiful message, te amo mi vida (I love you, my life),” Mendes captioned the post.
The couple could be seen embracing each other while Mendes planted a kiss on Cabello’s cheek. The picture seems to have been captured before or after the “Cinderella” premier event. Mendes joined Cabello to support her on her special day, as per reports.
The premiere, which happened in Miami on Sept. 1, 2021, saw Mendes and Cabello posing for the paparazzi. For the red carpet, Mendes went shirtless underneath a sheer black top with a deep V-neck and high-waisted pants, while Cabello opted for a sleeveless white crop top and a yellow Christian Siriano tulle skirt. She completed the look with silver jewelry, a small purse, and short hair.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Cabello also shared her red carpet look for the event and expressed her thoughts about the film.
“Last night’s premiere Cinderella is out on @amazonprimevideo right now! So proud of this film and everything it stands for — women empowerment, inclusivity, joy, empathy, compassion, and of course, we got some jokes and some songs. Hope you guys love it #CinderellaMovie,” she captioned the post.
The new rendition of “Cinderella” follows the journey of a girl who does not need a Prince to save her. The film will release on Sept. 3, 2021, exclusively available for streaming platform Amazon Prime Video users.
In the movie, Pierce Brosnan plays the role of King Rowan, the ruler of the mythical kingdom, and Minnie Driver will appear as his wife and Queen Beatrice, who is willing to challenge his authority when he gets it wrong.
The film’s star cast also includes Idina Menzel as Cinderella’s step-mother, Billy Porter as Fab-G, and Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Robert.
The trailer of “Cinderella” presented the film’s star on the traditional tale, where the princess is chasing her dream to become a fashion designer and open her own boutique — “Dresses By Ella.”
As a new-age fairy tale, it attempts to offer more layers to the desires and personality of the titular character.
Producers of the film are Leo Pearlman, James Corden, Jonathan Kadin, and Shannon McIntosh, and executive producers are Louise Rosner and Josephine Rose.
The musical incorporates pop songs from contemporary global artists and original songs by Cabello and Menzel.
The film will launch exclusively around the world in over 240 countries and territories on Amazon Prime Video.
