What do you love most about Saint Laurent and how has the brand inspired you?
"Fashion fades - style is eternal," Yves Saint Laurent once said. For me, Saint Laurent is a lifestyle. They inspired and empowered me not only to enjoy the clothes or dressing up, but to enjoy every aspect of life, and intertwining the love of art into it.

Can you tell us a little bit about your show look and why did you pick this look?
I love wearing black. So I really enjoy the different layering of textures on me. From the dress to the velvet cape and the leather boots. I also love the contrast of having gold accessories on me. I had this ring and bracelet on one side. And the cigarette case bracelet finished up the look for me."
How did you feel about the latest Women’s Winter 23 show?
It’s stunning. Very chic and elegant. I believe Anthony Vaccarello has revived the basic pieces with an amazing twist. It’s casual enough to wear on a daily basis but with a blazer, it turns into a sophisticated one.

What's the difference between this show and previous Saint Laurent shows you attended?
Every time I attend Saint Laurent shows is such a magical moment and a pleasure for me. There’s always an unexpected surprise. And it’s always a whole, immersive experience: the show itself, the scent, the sounds, the crowd, the clothes and of course, it’s always lovely to be with Anthony and my Saint Laurent family.

What is your favourite look from the show?
It’s so difficult to choose. But my most favourite would be the all-black exaggerated shoulder jacket with a cape and pants that stopped my heart. How they styled it with the pointy heels, a glove on one side and bracelets. All the small details that made this look even more mesmerising.
What is your favourite Saint Laurent piece from your wardrobe?
The Icare bag would be my recent favourite. It has been my best friend, from traveling all around the world to carrying scripts on set and being my coffee date.
Can you share with us some of your upcoming projects for 2023?
My lips are sealed and I can’t tell now. But I would say there are many things to be very excited about and I don't really want to spoil the surprise.
