Boyega says having such unabashed fun with fashion represents a personal growth that, luckily, mirrors a larger trend around actors in Hollywood right now. “I think finding your taste in this industry can be really hard,” Boyega said. “Because when you’re first starting out they all just dress you as if you’re a lawyer or running for congress. You just gotta look nice, in a suit—pleasant, not trying to do too much. But as the industry is changing, actors are now able to express themselves. For me, it’s a great opportunity to bring in some of my swag—especially with being from London.” The playful approach to the red carpet feels like the ultimate capstone to what has been an exciting and exhilarating project for Boyega. “This vibe on Tyrone reminded me of Attack The Block the most,” Boyega says, referencing one of his earlier projects from 2011. “I had just started out, fresh new eyes, excited about everything. Weirdly enough, it felt like that with Tyrone. I think also working on a movie that felt culturally close to what I know —the food I like, the music I listen to—you feel way more at home in that type of environment.”The feeling of fulfillment, and acceptance, rings especially poignant for Boyega. In 2020, during the height of unrest and protests against racial injustice across the globe, the actor spoke out against perceived biases and unfair treatment in Hollywood. While speaking out certainly poised the risk of closing major doors, it also opened up new ones. “You’re met with the best collaborators,” the actor said. “You get to feel who’s for you. That’s why They Cloned Tyrone came on the table.”
From Lila Moss to Kaia Gerber and Iris Law, we’ve seen a whole host of famous fashion offspring gracing our runways in recent years. Now there’s a new name to add to that list Christy Turlington’s daughter Grace Burns, who made her runway debut at British Vogue X LuisViaRoma’s fashion extravaganza in Florence on Wednesday night. Grace, whose father is actor and filmmaker Edward Burns, hit the runway in a custom white dress by Victoria Beckham, featuring ruching at the waist (and based on the Kermit green dress worn by Bella Hadid on the runway during the designer’s spring 2023 show in Paris). The vampy look was finished off with a pair of black lace gloves, matching tights, peep toe heels and the designer’s chain embellished clutch bag.
