admin   April 3, 2023   No Comment

Maisie Williams shared her experience of visiting India for the Dior show. The actor, who played Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, praised the country’s culture.

Dior’s Mumbai show on Thursday was a star-studded event. Celebs from across the the world gathered at Mumbai’s Gateway of India for the show. From actor Freida Pinto to model Cara Delevingne and Bridgerton 2’s Simone Ashley, all were in attendance. Also present was Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams. At the event, the actor spoke about her India trip. Also read: GOT star Maisie Williams arrives in Mumbai for Christian Dior show, is impressed with her desi hotel room

 

Maisie Williams sat in the front row alongside actor Sonam Kapoor at the recent Dior fashion show. She wore a red dress for the show. When asked about her experience in India, Maisie spoke about the culture and people of the country. The actor, who played Arya Stark in hit HBO series Game of Thrones, had arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday.

“I think that the culture is so beautiful. People are so kind, I felt so welcomed,” Maisie told Brut India as she attended the Dior show in Mumbai. Earlier, Maisie had shared a video from her hotel room in Mumbai. She had a tiny tika on her forehead, and wore a beaded necklace in the clip. Maisie showed around her room in the clip – from a picture of Lord Krishna on a wall to floral decorations on the floor. She said in the clip, “I just got to Mumbai and I am losing my mind a little bit.”

Bollywood celebs such as Rekha, Mira Rajput and Athiya Shetty, among others, mingled with the likes of Maisie, Cara and others at the Dior show. Never Have I Ever’s Poorna Jagannathan also made a red carpet appearance at the event. Thai actors Mile and Apo were also pictured at the event.

The guest list also included Radhika Merchant and Isha Ambani. Anushka Sharma along with cricketer-husband Virat Kohli, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ananya Panday, Khushi Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Diana Penty, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, Shweta Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor, Masaba Gupta and Natasha Poonawalla among others, also attended the Dior show. Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, after wrapping up the event, posted a video with the models on Instagram. She wrote in her caption, “And it’s done! Thank you Mumbai for having us and thank you to the 99 wonderful girls who walked the show.”

Wardrobe Stories: Maisie Williams On Youth ‘Hysteria’, Evolving Her Style And ‘The New Look’ TV Show
admin   April 3, 2023   No Comment

The actor caught up ELLE UK following the Dior AW23 show in India to discuss fashion, beauty and her upcoming TV show, ‘The New Look’.

Obtaining a ticket to a Dior runway show, let alone one held halfway across the world, is the fashion world’s equivalent of a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket. And it’s a coveted opportunity that actor Maisie Williams – a friend and regular FROW attendee for the French fashion house – doesn’t take lightly.

On Thursday night, the British star – who recently announced her split from her boyfriend of five years, Reuben Selby – attended Dior’s AW23 presentation in Mumbai, India, alongside the likes of Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, former ELLE UK cover star Naomi Ackie, actor Jessie Buckley and model Cara Delevingne.

Conceptualised by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, the collection featured a colour block sequence dedicated to vivid green, yellow, pink and purple silks. Threaded through the collection is a homage to French fashion designer Marc Bohan, with sari-inspired evening coats and skirts that create ‘a fascinating odyssey that transcends borders and era’. ‘My favourite look was this purple and green two piece of a knitted vest and cargo trousers,’ Williams tells ELLE UK from Mumbai. ‘I think they’re such interesting colours – the tied detail in the back makes it extra enticing, but the overall feeling of the outfit is so wearable and cool.’

For some, the choice of Mumbai might be surprising for a brand so synonymous with our Gallic neighbour. But, months after the fashion house presented its 2023 resort collection in Seville, Spain, Williams notes the importance of fashion brands celebrating local artisans and global cultures. ‘So much of our inspiration is drawn from different histories and heritages,’ she says. ‘It’s incredibly important that fashion brands not only use them as a creative inspiration, but also to give back and truly develop the techniques and inspiration so that they can live on; so that these techniques can be as beneficial to India and the craftsman who can do it, as well as the designers and the people who wear the clothing.’

So much of our inspiration is drawn from different histories and heritages

For the show, the actor wore a maroon-hued pleated red mini dress and black strappy sandals. ‘The fabric was creased which gave the dress a more casual feel, which really suited the tone being in a warmer climate,’ she explains of the Dior dress. ‘I wore some flat sandals and they looked so good with my outfit, but we’re so easy to walk in. I had them on all day and all night.’

The 25-year-old former Game of Thrones star has become an avid follower of high fashion since she starred on the HBO medieval fantasy television series. In addition to becoming H&M’s global sustainability ambassador in 2021 and creative strategist and advisor to the platform Contact, which connects individuals working in creative industries, in May last year it was announced that Williams had been cast in the Apple drama series The New Look, starring as Catherine Dior, the younger sister of fashion designer Christian Dior and Legion d’Honmeur recipient for her efforts in the French resistance. ‘I had so much fun making this show and I think that it’s going to be really impactful,’ she says. ‘It will bring together my love for fashion and also my love for acting – that makes me really excited.’

Since starring as Arya Stark in the hit GoT series, Williams has regularly spoken about her scene-stealing character and the impact of playing her since childhood. Last year, she revealed to Teen Vogue that until the show’s last season in 2019 she’d long held the belief that Stark was queer, and how playing the character made her feel insecure about her body. In addition to covering her face in dirt and maintaining a short hairstyle during filming, the actor was required apply a strap across her chest to flatten her breasts. ‘I don’t know, that just felt horrible for six months of the year, and I felt kind of ashamed for a while,’ she previously told Vogue.

Four years on from the show’s history-making finale and it seems Williams is more at peace with her body confidence. ‘I think it’s important to remember that no one looks perfect being shot from every angle, so I try my best to be captured from my preferred sides,’ she admits. ‘However, that’s not always possible and rather than make myself feel upset by that, I just tried to let it slide. There’s more to life.’

In recent years Williams has stepped into the light even further and developed a sartorial savoir faire that’s seen her rock designs from the likes of Miu Miu, Chanel and Givenchy, as well as bleach eyebrows, dye her hair baby pink, and more recently undergo a buzz cut. ‘My style is so much more expressive and aligned with my self on the inside. But that’s also because it’s more flexible and I don’t mind doing different styles all the time,’ she says.

‘My favourite part is picking the hair and make-up and watching it all come together,’ she notes of getting ready for red carpet events, crediting TikTok star Lola Clark as her current fashion inspiration. ‘My least favourite part is having to sit very still when I have my hair and make-up done at the same time. I have to be patient and I’m kind of bad at that…’

I think it’s important to remember that no one looks perfect being shot from every angle

 

As for her biggest beauty tip, she notes that good skincare comes as a result of good make-up and being conscious of what you put inside your body, ‘rather than just what you put on your skin. If you take care of yourself, inside and out, your body will bring you the gift of having a good make up day or a good hair day.’

Amid heightened discussions regarding women’s relationship with looking youthful, most poignantly following the release of Times’ Fashion Editor Anna Murphy’s book Destination Fabulous: Finding Your Way to the Best You Yet earlier this month, Williams says ‘it’s easy to get sucked in and question whether the quest for youth is one that I should be starting sooner rather than later, and whether that means facial peels, a special mask, some crazy new ingredient, or whatever’.

‘I think that it’s hard to avoid that kind of hysteria,’ she continues. ‘I think the most important quest is always the one searching within. To find a place within yourself that you love and that you’re deeply proud of, and that you can shine through, I believe that’s what will make you seem young forever, not your skin.’ We couldn’t agree more.

Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams opens up on relying on charity after family fled domestic violence.
admin   December 2, 2022   No Comment

The Bristolian actress opens up about her ambassador role and relying on charities to provide food during her childhood

Game of Thrones star, Maisie Williams has shared the “fear and isolation” she once felt due to going hungry before her breakout role. The Bristol-born actress has become an ambassador for the MAZI project, a Bedminster community interest company (CIC) distributing meals to disadvantaged young people across the city.

A study published by Centrepoint suggests just under a third, 30%, of young people, aged between 18-25, “often go without food for a whole day due to lack of money”. Twenty-five-year-old Maisie explained how she had not publicly spoken about this time during her upbringing, when she and her family were fleeing domestic violence. They left their family home with nothing. Maisie later relied on the support of Barnardos charity.

Ms Williams said: “Food holds so much power. So, when you don’t have it, don’t have enough of it, or don’t experience the enrichment that food brings, you are faced with not only hunger but also detachment, fear and isolation. I’ve been there. I’ve felt this. I understand the impact it has on your self-worth.

“I’ve never talked publicly about this before, but I had a lot of support from Barnardos when I was growing up. They helped me to learn and connect with thoughts and emotions that I’d suppressed for so long. It had an incredible transformational impact on me. My fear dissipated; my sense of self-started rising. I took a dance class shortly after, which led to auditions, my role in Game of Thrones and everything else that’s come since. The impact that a little nurture, time and care can have on young people is genuinely life-changing. That’s what The MAZI Project is providing for the young people in Bristol that they help and that’s why I wanted to get involved.”

The MAZI project is currently supporting hundreds of care leavers, young people recovering from homelessness and young asylum seekers living in supported accommodation.

Speaking of her new role at the MAZI Project, Maisie added: “I have been inspired to talk publicly and be more open about my past after being introduced to The MAZI Project, who work with an increasing number of 16–25-year-olds, many of them in care or refugees, and develop and deliver brilliant, inspiring and healthy meal kits to their doorsteps. This simple act has such a powerful impact.

“What Mel and the team do is incredibly unique and very effective. Through food, taste, experience and new skills, The MAZI Project helps its young people realise they are capable of things they never even considered. One of them was recently accepted into Cambridge University! And another into Bristol University. Another now has a paid job at a restaurant in the city. That’s the extraordinary power that a little nurture can have; it goes a very long way. It’s truly transformational.

“I now feel empowered to talk about my personal experiences through The MAZI Project in the hope that together we can help young people understand their own self-worth through the power of food. And that food helps you grow, helps you connect, helps you know who you are and what you’re capable of. I’m living proof of that.”

The CIC’s founder, Melanie Vaxevanakis estimates 8,800 meals have been packed by her team since it launched during lockdown in 2020. She also revealed to Bristol World how the project has overseen a sizeable rise in referrals since September – with this number expected to rise through the Christmas period.

Mel comments “We’ve seen a 40% increase in referrals to The MAZI Project in the last two months. The growth in referrals for our meal kits, which we deliver weekly to Bristol’s hungry youth, shows the issue of food insecurity is increasing every day. For asylum seekers, care leavers and Bristol’s homeless youth, the issue requires urgent action. For many, Christmas is a time of joy, time with family and friends but for the young people we help, Christmas is the loneliest time of the year. Their sense of isolation increases exponentially, which impacts our ability to empower them into creating a better future for themselves and their community”.
