Isla Fisher puts on an animated display in red ball gown alongside shirtless men as she films new movie Spa Weekend in Australia

Isla Fisher put on an animated display as she filmed scenes for her new film Spa Weekend on the Gold Coast in Australia on Tuesday.

The actress, 49, was dressed in a red and purple layered ballgown for the scene along with a pair of matching gloves.

Isla’s locks were styled into loose curls and she also sported an eye-catching silver necklace and purple earrings.  

A pair of shirtless men in shorts were also spotted nearby as they sat by a tent waiting to film.

Joining Isla for filming was her co-star Leslie Mann who was dressed in a slightly less extravagant red midi dress. 

Although they were not scene on set, the film will also star Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris.

Spa Weekend follows three friends who embark on a luxurious spa weekend break but when their trainwreck friend Mel shows up, things quickly take a hilarious turn for the worst.  

The sighting comes just days after Isla and her ex Sacha Baron Cohen shared a friendly exchange on social media amid reports their divorce is getting ‘messy’.

The exes engaged with one another on the Australian star’s latest Instagram post, which shows her in a sultry pH๏τoshoot for Style Magazine.

‘Stunning pH๏τoshoot,’ the British actor complimented his former wife in the comments below the post, which he also ‘liked’.

Isla replied some hours later, tagging her ex-partner and writing, ‘Thank you,’ alongside a blushing emoji.

The friendly interaction occurred amid reports her amicable divorce from comedian Sacha is set to turn sour as they divide their £60million (AUD$119million) fortune.

Sources close to the actor said ‘it’s war’ and ‘any remaining veneer of civility has gone’ after Isla opened up about how she was handling their separation.

During a press run for the latest Bridget Jones movie, Isla confessed to The Sunday Times she leaned on her female friends for support during the separation.

Breaking ranks on their agreement not to discuss their private lives, Isla said: ‘The women in my life have held me.

‘The female relationships I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I’m actually going to get emotional. I’m sitting here today because of them. 

‘I’ve learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I’ve just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are.’

Insiders claim Sacha publicly showed support over the interview, but said his reaction behind the scenes was one of fury. You can read the details of it here. 

Isla and Sacha revealed in a joint statement in April 2024 they had ‘quietly separated’ the year before.

‘After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down,’ they told fans.

Discussing the split with The Sunday Times, Isla said: ‘It’s the most difficult thing that I’ve been through and I’ve learnt so much about myself in the process.

‘I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.’

Isla explained her own parents separated when she was nine-years-old and admitted their peaceful arrangement was what she now strives for.

She said: ‘It was very harmonious, I don’t ever remember them fighting about anything… they were very inclusive of each other.’

When asked if that was the ‘blueprint’ for her separation, Isla said: ‘That’s the dream.’ 

Isla was also asked whether she feels ready to dip her toe back into the dating pool any time soon. 

‘That’s not on my to-do list. I’m not ready to think about any of that,’ the Wedding Crashers star admitted.

Isla and Sacha both live in London where they co-parent their three children.

However, the Confessions of a Shopaholic star is currently Down Under filming her new comedy Spa Weekend on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
