Mickey Sumner: From Snowpiercer to Engagement and an HBO Series in 2025
Mickey Sumner, the eldest daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler, is arguably the most recognizable of the three in mainstream media, thanks to her high-profile acting roles. Her career has been marked by a blend of independent film success and major television work. She gained critical attention for her role in the 2012 indie hit Frances Ha and later became a household name for her series regular role as Bess Till in the TNT post-apocalyptic drama Snowpiercer.
A Major Personal Milestone: Engagement to Carter B. Smith
The biggest news surrounding Mickey in early 2025 was the announcement of her engagement. In March 2025, Mickey Sumner confirmed her engagement to her boyfriend, photographer and director Carter B. Smith, via a joint Instagram post.
The couple's announcement was met with an outpouring of support from family, including her parents, Sting and Trudie Styler. Carter B. Smith is an accomplished photographer and director, known for his distinct visual style. This happy family news highlights a significant new chapter for Mickey, who also has a son from a previous relationship.
Upcoming Projects: A Mistake and HBO's Task
Professionally, Mickey Sumner is showing no signs of slowing down. She continues to expand her filmography with diverse roles. She appeared in the 2024 film A Mistake, and her most anticipated upcoming project is the HBO limited series Task.
The series, created by Brad Ingelsby (known for Mare of Easttown), is a major television production that is expected to be a critical success. Co-starring in a high-profile HBO project like Task solidifies Mickey's status as a serious dramatic actress, further establishing her own identity outside of her famous musical family.
Eliot Sumner: The Non-Binary Musician's Unique Sound and Recent Work
Eliot Sumner, the youngest of Sting and Trudie Styler's daughters, has chosen a path most directly aligned with their father's legacy: music. However, Eliot's sound is distinct, evolving from their early days as the frontperson for the band I Blame Coco to their current work as a solo artist. Their music is often described as synth-pop, urgent, and motoric, establishing a unique and compelling artistic voice.
Current Music and Acting Career
Eliot, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as non-binary, has built a career on atmospheric and introspective music, showcased on their solo album Information. While a major new album announcement for 2025 is still pending, Eliot's work remains current in the music scene.
In late 2024, the music video for their track "I Followed You Home" was noted in music publications, indicating a continuing presence and creative output. They have also contributed vocals to other artists, including Miike Snow and Trentemøller, demonstrating their versatility as a collaborator.
In addition to music, Eliot has ventured into acting, following in the footsteps of their mother and sister. This dual-career approach allows them to express their creativity across different mediums, ensuring their name is known for their own artistic achievements rather than just their family connection.
Fuchsia Sumner: The Director, Producer, and New Mother
Fuchsia Katherine Sumner, the daughter from Sting's first marriage to actress Frances Tomelty, has also made a career for herself behind and in front of the camera. Fuchsia’s background in English literature and drama from university provided a strong foundation for her work in the film industry.
Focus on Directing and Production
Like her mother and stepmother, Fuchsia has diversified her career beyond acting, taking on roles as a director and producer. This multi-faceted approach is common among the Sumner children, who seem to embrace a holistic view of the arts. While specific 2025 filmography details are less prominent than her sister Mickey's, Fuchsia is an active and respected figure in the London film community.
Recent Personal Life: Motherhood
In a significant personal development, Fuchsia recently became a mother, welcoming a son. This new role has added another dimension to her life, balancing her professional endeavors with her family.
Fuchsia's decision to pursue acting and directing, similar to her mother, Frances Tomelty, highlights the strong influence of both her parents' careers. Her work, though perhaps less publicized on the global scale than Mickey's, contributes significantly to the family's legacy as a creative powerhouse.
The Sumner Legacy: Independent Success Beyond The Police
The collective success of Sting's daughters—Fuchsia, Mickey, and Eliot Sumner—is a testament to their individual talents and ambition. They have navigated the challenges of growing up with a world-famous rock star father by forging unique and credible careers in demanding creative fields. Whether it's Mickey's engagement and upcoming HBO role in Task, Eliot's distinctive non-binary music and acting, or Fuchsia's work as a director and producer, each woman is writing her own chapter in the Sumner family's story. Their ongoing work in 2025 confirms that the next generation of the Sumner family is a force to be reckoned with in the arts.
