She seems to lean towards vibrant things but so far her style on the red carpet seems a bit all over the place.. I know it may have to do with the fact that she's right on the entrance to full access to high fashion.. it will be a lot more fun to watch her then.

I finished watching I May Destroy You a couple of days ago.. I didn't think it's as out-of-this-world amazing as all the reviews make it out to be but watching it just felt like a breath of fresh air and I've been watching a lot of shows this year. Her work just emanates sincerity, spontaneity and lack of ego (ignoring for a second that she's the writer, co-producer, actress, director, etc :lol:).. she perfectly handled this transition from making the viewer relate so much to a character that has just experienced something monumental in what's seemingly 'just another day', and then slowly isolating her from her friends, what she used to be and ultimately the viewer.. she just becomes so unlikeable you start to wonder 'what is this show'.. I found it annoying at first but now I think it's such a brilliant move.. she really dived into the depths of a traumatic event and how it may not necessarily extract this shy, tormented, weeping persona, but the opposite, as you try to navigate all the emotions and understand your new reality.

I wish she did a spin-off on her two friends in that show! Paapa Essiedu and Weruche Opia are both so cute and deliver such good acting.. :heart:..
