Taking a break from red carpets to showcase this little black-and-white dress, worn by actor Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”) at the Dior Haute Couture spring-summer show in Paris last Monday. The dress is adorable, if a tad complicated, but the reason I chose it is because it’s rare to see an outfit so perfectly coordinating with the (very elegant) floor on which its wearer is standing. Just call this picture a Study in Black and White Checks. It’s making me rethink both my spring wardrobe and my kitchen floor.
The Last of Us is the first big prestige TV show of 2023. HBO‘s adaptation of the beloved video game franchise was a highly sought-after project for many actors, especially young women hoping to take on the role of Ellie, one of the story’s two leads. Bella Ramsey of Game of Thrones fame earned the part amid plenty of competition, which included one of her former castmates on GOT.
Ramsey was delighted to join the show. However, she has also had to deal with the sadly inevitable toxicity from a segment of the Last of Us fan base who have preconceived notions and an inflated sense of ownership over these characters.
