Denise Richards shines at Daytime Beauty Awards as she discusses ex Charlie Sheen amid divorce from Aaron Phypers

Denise Richards arrived at the 7th Daytime Beauty Awards in Los Angeles this week wearing a flirty ivory minidress with a front cut-out, showcasing a fit, sun-kissed figure. The 54-year-old Wild Things star wore her blonde hair in a partial pull-back and kept makeup dewy to highlight her youthful appearance. She completed the look with strappy high heels featuring golden butterfly accents and carried a small pale pink bedazzled purse with a silver bow in front of her.

Richards’s appearance comes as she navigates an ongoing divorce from Aaron Phypers. The actress spoke candidly about her past relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen in the Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen, part two of which recently aired. In tearful моменты, Richards said she still loves Sheen, telling the cameras, "I still love him." The couple first connected on the set of Good Advice in 2001, married in 2002, and welcomed daughters Sami and Lola before their divorce in 2006.

The documentary chronicles the arc of Richards’s relationship with Sheen, including the pressures and dynamics that accompanied their marriage during Sheen’s rise to stardom and his well-publicized struggles with substance abuse. Richards has described the time as a period of significant trial and transformation, noting that the relationship influenced multiple stages of her life—from meeting and marrying Sheen to the divorce and the years that followed. In the late 2000s, Sheen’s personal battles dominated headlines, and he has since spoken publicly about his sobriety, including reports that he has been sober for eight years, a point that the Netflix project also covers in its examination of his career and personal recovery.

As Richards continues to balance her acting career and public life, her public appearances—such as this week’s awards ceremony—are framed by the broader context of her family and personal history. The Daytime Beauty Awards event in Los Angeles highlighted her continued presence in entertainment circles, while the Netflix documentary and related interviews keep her relationship with Sheen at the center of public interest. The ongoing dynamic with Phypers, who is her spouse in the current divorce proceedings, adds another layer to the spotlight on her personal life as she moves through this chapter in the public eye.
