'Blink Twice' Star Naomi Ackie Has Mastered The Art Of Elegant, Pared-Back Dressing
In flowing gowns, perfectly tailored suits, and towering heels, the British actress is a force of fashion to be reckoned with.
After stepping onto red carpets at premieres of Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut, Blink Twice, across the world, Naomi Ackie has stunned fans on social media and editors alike with her utterly magnetic presence and her series of impeccable looks. From the draped, architectural Loewe gown worn at the London premiere of the film to the white feather-trimmed Ferragamo frock sported at the Los Angeles premiere, there's no doubt that the British actress has stepped into a true style renaissance.
Make no mistake—Ackie has been a style star since she emerged onto the scene in 2016 with a buzzy appearance alongside Florence Pugh in Lady Macbeth. As her first breakout role, Ackie's Lady Macbeth performance earned her a Most Promising Newcomer award at the 2017 British Independent Film Awards, quickly launching her career into new heights. Subsequently, the British actress delivered an unforgettable performance as Bonnie, the complex antagonist of Netflix's hit series, The End Of The F***ing World, and joined the cast of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In 2022, Ackie protrayed the legendary Whitney Houston in the buzzy biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
Unsurprisingly, legions of film fans on the Internet weren't the only ones who took note of Ackie's endlessly charismatic persona and penchant for classically elegant dressing, and the British actor quickly became a regular at many of the most high-profile runway shows at Paris Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week alike, cementing her status as a sartorial star to watch out for. Sitting front row at the presentations of designers like Ferragamo, Valentino, and Loewe, Ackie appears confident, poised, and sophisticated, whether she's sporting an structural suited look or a classically chic gown.
