How do you feel about being an Estée Lauder Global Brand Ambassador?

It honestly feels like such a dream. I grew up playing with my mum’s Estée Lauder products and always saw the brand as this symbol of timeless beauty. To be part of that legacy feels incredibly special—and a bit surreal!

What drew you to Estée Lauder?

I’ve always admired how Estée Lauder celebrates confidence and individuality. There’s this elegance and strength to the brand that I find really inspiring—especially as a young woman navigating the industry.

Describe the Estée Lauder brand in 3 words.

Timeless, sleek, elegant.

What do you love about makeup?

I love how transformative it can be. Whether it’s for a role or just going out with friends, makeup helps me express a different side of myself. It’s like a little daily ritual that brings me back to myself.

What role has makeup/beauty played in your life?

It’s always been something I associate with creativity and self-expression. As an actor, it’s also a big part of building a character—it helps you step into someone else’s shoes, quite literally.

What is one makeup or skincare product you can’t live without?

Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum—hands down. It’s a lifesaver after long shoot days or nights out with friends.

What was the first beauty product you ever bought? How old were you?

It was probably a sparkly lip gloss from the pharmacy. I must’ve been about 12.

What was your first beauty memory?

Discovering my mum’s makeup back when I was 11 or 12. I remember putting some blush on and thinking, ooh this is magic. I started sneakily wearing her makeup to school from then on.

How old were you when you first got into skincare?

I started properly paying attention in my late teens, when I started getting my teenage spotty skin.

Morning Estée Lauder beauty routine?

I wash my face with water, then use a few drops of Advanced Night Repair Serum (yes, even in the morning!). Then, I use DayWear 24H-Moisturizer SPF 15. If I’m heading out, I’ll use Futurist SkinTint and a swipe of Futurist Blushmaker Liquid Blush. It gives you a really natural, glowing finish. If I want to wear a lip, I’m obsessed with the Pure Color Melt-On Glosstick in 390 Melted Melon.

Nighttime Estée Lauder beauty routine?

I cleanse, then follow with Advanced Night Repair Serum and a rich moisturizer like Revitalizing Supreme+.

Morning person or night owl?

I want to say morning person. I come alive around 8am with a cup of coffee and a good playlist.

What is your ideal music to get ready to?

It depends on the vibe I’m in. If I’m having a relaxing morning, some Billie Holiday or if I’m going out, Charlie XCX or Confidence Man.

How has your style evolved over the years?

I used to play it quite safe, but I’m learning to take more risks and have fun with fashion. I love things that are classic with a little twist—something unexpected.

Describe your style in 3 words.

Feminine, relaxed, playful.

Best way to get dressed for a red carpet?

With a great team who makes you feel confident and comfortable. I think the key is to wear something that makes you feel like yourself—just a slightly more sparkly version.

Favourite red carpet look you’ve ever worn?

I wore a soft blue Gucci dress to the Toronto Film Festival once that I absolutely adored—it felt romantic and a bit ethereal, which I loved.

What would your younger self find most surprising about who you are now?

That I get to travel the world for work and wear the kinds of dresses I used to rip out of magazines. Also, that I actually enjoy red lipstick now.

Who are your role models?

My mum, first and foremost. And women like Tilda Swinton or Chloe Domont—brilliant leaders who are art led and completely themselves.

Do you have any pre-shoot rituals?

A big cup of coffee, some gentle stretching and vocal warmups, and always music—usually something related to the project to get me in the right mood.

Ideal way to spend a day off?

A walk in the park, brunch with friends, and a film in the evening—ideally in comfy clothes with snacks and no schedule at all.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I can do some very basic latte art, so if you ever want heart-ish shaped foam on your coffee, let me know!
