Director Ava DuVernay certainly knows the power of visuals. The Oscar nominated and Emmy winning filmmaker behind Selma and When They See Us puts nuanced and dynamic stories about the Black community on screen. But her big picture efforts also extend to the red carpet. DuVernay expertly turns press circuits and award campaigns, often a long tail of safe attire for filmmakers, into exciting opportunities to promote and uplift minority creators. For the 2017 Oscars, amidst so called “Muslim Bans” by the Trump Administration, Duvernay wore a custom dress by Muslim designer Mohammed Ashi of Lebanon as a “small sign of solidarity.” She has opted for other strategically splashy moments, including a color blocked Prada look at the 2017 Governors ball structural Louis Vuitton at the 2022 gala for The Academy Museum and a sequined caped look, also by Louis Vuitton, for the 2023 Academy Awards. The approach seems to go beyond merely looking good for fashion’s sake.
So it should come as no surprise Ava DuVernay was in attendance for the presentation of Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2024 collection at the historic Palazzo Borromeo, with pals Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King by her side. DuVernay leaned into resort minded style through ornate silver and black short paisley trousers with a coordinated jacket and leather knee high boots. Courtesy of Louis VuittonFor DuVernay, working with a renowned international brand like Louis Vuitton is self affirming. “To be honest, as a Black woman of a certain age who isn’t a size zero, my pressure is to find a way to be myself with limited options and interest,” she tells Vogue. “That’s why my association with LV is lovely, as well as the handful of other houses, that validate how I look and who I am.”
