Naomie Harris

Ethnic trends are being celebrated in head gear that first appeared at the Golden Globes and later established their place at the Black Panther premieres. Patterns continue to add splashes of color, while men get adventurous in a very safe way.

If there is one thing that British born Naomie Harris remembers being sure about from the beginning was her desire to become an actor. Her mother Liselle Kayla, a television writer might have had something to with that, enrolling her in the prestigious Anna Sher Theatre School when she was just a child.

“On Moonlight it was heavy on set because I only had the three days to shoot that role so because it was so intense I just kind of had to stay in the skin of Paula as much as I possibly could to get through”, Naomie Harris told us, describing the experience of creating a key character in writer-director Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight: Paula, a drug addict and reluctant mother to Chiron, the film’s protagonist. The daughter of a strong and successful woman, Harris admits she had “reservations about playing a crack addict”, a bravura performance that earned her this nomination.
