Vanessa Kirby Instagram – Introducing the L’OFFICIEL December/January 2024 global cover star @vanessa__kirby! You’ve seen her take on the role of Princess Margaret in #TheCrown and tell the heartwrenching story of a young mother giving birth in Pieces of a Woman, but now, #VanessaKirby is poised for one of her most challenging roles yet: Empress Joséphine in Ridley Scott’s #Napoleon, opening in theaters everywhere tomorrow. Playing opposite #JoaquinPhoenix in the titular role, Kirby’s performance offers a more nuanced portrayal of Joséphine, beyond that of a dictator’s paramour. “It was challenging to play a more ephemeral person. I’d never known or researched anyone more enigmatic and elusive than Joséphine.” Tap the link in bio to read more about how Kirby prepared to play one of history’s most mysterious figures in her L’OFFICIEL December/January 2024 cover story.
