Drew Barrymore Embraces Ultimate Chill Mode During Miami Getaway

Drew Barrymore traded in her polished on-screen style for beachside comfort this week as she soaked up the sun in Miami Beach, Florida.

Her laid-back beach moment came just one day after she joined actor Orlando Bloom for the inauguration of the MSC World America cruise ship. The duo were featured together in a panel discussion as part of the ship’s christening event, during which Barrymore was named the ship’s official "godmother."

The "Lord of the Rings" star and Drew Barrymore have also recently teamed up for the cruise line’s “Let’s Holiday” advertising campaign.

The 50-year-old "Drew Barrymore Show" host was spotted on Thursday strolling barefoot along the sand, ditching her bra for a relaxed look that included a soft gray-blue T-shirt and loose-fitting gray sweatpants.

In photos obtained by Daily Mail, she held a pair of brown sandals in hand and kept things low-key with a camouflage-print “Coastal” cap and reflective fuchsia sunglasses.

Embracing the natural look, Drew went makeup-free as she enjoyed the Florida breeze.

Her vacation comes just one day after she and icon Billy Idol took a nostalgic walk down memory lane during a recent episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show," where the longtime friends and former nightlife fixtures reflected on their wild adventures in 1980s New York City.

Barrymore couldn’t contain her excitement as she introduced a throwback photo of the pair at the legendary Limelight nightclub.

“Please, control room, tell me you have the picture of me and Billy at Limelight, the club,” she said, lighting up as a black-and-white image of her and Idol appeared onscreen. “Yes! I mean, Billy, that is where I see us when I think of you in my mind is back in the old club days. What the hell do you remember from those days?”

“Not very much,” Idol replied with a laugh. Barrymore playfully shot back, “Me neither. I was hoping you could color stuff in for me.”

Despite the haze of time, Barrymore recalled those nights with fondness.

“The only thing I knew was that I loved you, I got to hang out with you, we were obviously playful and silly,” she shared, smiling at the punk rock icon beside her.

Idol reflected on the era as a unique moment in cultural history. “It was a really incredible time,” he said. “New York was kind of bankrupt so anything kinda went. It was like post-apocalyptic… you felt like the end of the world had sort of happened.”

He added that the city felt particularly “free,” which contributed to the anything-goes atmosphere that defined the ‘80s club scene.

Barrymore, who infamously began frequenting nightclubs like Studio 54 as a child alongside her mother, even celebrated her 10th birthday in a bar, so her connection to New York nightlife runs deep. Though they lost touch for a while, Barrymore and Idol reunited on screen in 1998 when he made a memorable cameo in "The Wedding Singer," the rom-com she starred in with Adam Sandler.

“I was so excited to be together again,” Barrymore said of their reunion. “It felt like, ‘Oh! Just yesterday we were like, out in the clubs together!’”

As their conversation wrapped, Barrymore marveled at how their lives had evolved but their bond had endured. It was a full-circle moment, two icons who once danced the night away in Manhattan now swapping stories under studio lights, still laughing, still connected, and still a little rock ’n’ roll.

Earlier this month, Barrymore opened up during her talk show about a memorable breakup from her early dating life. In a segment discussing viral dating horror stories, the actress told co-host Ross Mathews and guest Valerie Bertinelli about an ex-boyfriend who moved his mother into their shared home without warning.

“We get the most cute little house in Los Feliz, California... and he goes, ‘By the way, my mom is going to come stay with us,’” she recalled. When he said the stay would be “maybe forever,” Barrymore promptly ended the relationship. “I have mother issues. I’m leaving. Here’s my laundry basket. I’m out,” she said, drawing laughter from her audience and guests.

Known for being open about her love life, Barrymore has frequently shared stories from her personal journey on her talk show, which was recently renewed for a sixth season.

She has been married three times and is mom to daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, whom she shares with her third husband, Will Kopelman. Their marriage ended in 2016, and Barrymore has described the divorce as “very devastating,” admitting it took her a long time to recover emotionally.
