Bonjour Paris! It’s currently Paris Fashion Week, and we’re getting a bts, front-row peak into all of the glamour. For yesterday’s Fall/Winter 2023 show, ESSENCE got to tag together with actress, budding fashion it girl, and our September 2022 cover star, Thuso Mbedu, as she got all glammed up for the Dior ready-to-wear show.

The breakout star stole our hearts as Nawi in last yr’s The Woman King, and since then, has been a mainstay on our moodboards, saved folder on Instagram, and Pinterest boards, for all her killer outfits. Mbedu has grow to be quite the red carpet fixture and fashion cool girl. Along with her signature lowcut or natural hairstyles, together along with her stylists Wayman + Micah, they’ve crafted a formula that just brings out Mbedu’s organic finesse. As we all know, fashion could be used as a strong tool of expression and alter, and in response to Mbedu, “fashion has allowed me to explore and express myself without having to make use of my voice or emotions. It could actually be as loud or as quiet as I would like it to be. It could actually be transformative and impactful.”

We got to see the magic in progress, from glam (courtesy of Dior Beauty, after all) to a mini photo hotel shoot, to front row on the show and backstage with mademoiselle Maria Grazia — Let’s take a peek into her day ahead of the Fall/Winter 23 Dior runway show.

When Do You Feel You’re Most Confident?

Once I’m breaking the ceiling of my very own limitations. That could be in any space: on set, on a carpet, behind the wheel, trying something latest for the primary time. It gets very uncomfortable as you near the precipice of your comfort zone, but whenever you push through, there’s a latest confidence that comes with being introduced to a you you didn’t know existed. I hope that is smart. And again, when my hair and makeup and garments come together: that’s a wholly different and assured me.
