GUGU MBATHA-RAW is the cover star of the April 2018 issue of British Vogue.

Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by senior contributing fashion editor Kate Phelan, with hair by Eugene Souleiman and make-up by Hannah Murray, the portrait of Mbatha-Raw wearing Valentino, marks the actress's Vogue debut.

The daughter of an English mother and a South African father, Gugu, which is short for Gugulethu, a contraction of igugu lethu, which means "our pride" in Zulu, trained at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. From her early acting roles on stage - she was Juliet to Andrew Garfield's Romeo in a 2005 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre - to TV appearances in Dr Who and Black Mirror, and her current silver-screen moment in A Wrinkle in Time, she has been escaping archetypes and quietly shaping a diverse CV for years.

Her latest role as Dr Kate Murry in Ava DuVernay's blockbuster Disney adaptation marks the first time a black woman has helmed a $100 million film, and seems a fitting summary of Mbatha-Raw's own boundary breaking career trajectory so far.

Read the full interview with Mbatha-Raw in the April issue, which is out on newsstands on March 9.

Not a huge fan of the fit. Also looks like it's satin, so naturally it's going to be wrinkly. I like the color on Gugu a lot though!
