Maisie Williams, known for her role in the popular TV series “Game of Thrones,” was recently spotted in New York City wearing a stylish pink outfit. The 27-year-old actress paired a pink cardigan with candy cane-striped PJ-style bottoms and comfortable black slippers. She completed the look with pink socks, glasses, and a straw handbag. Maisie revealed that she had lost almost two stone (11.79kg) for her latest role in the biographical series The New Look, where she plays Catherine Dior, the sister of French fashion designer Christian. The series showcases Christian’s journey in creating his fashion line after World War II, known as the ‘New Look.’
To achieve her weight loss for the role, Maisie worked closely with medical professionals and followed a strict regimen. She shared with Harpers Bazaar that she was eating very little and relied on sweating out fluids just before filming. This technique, commonly used by boxers and jockeys before competitions, involved waking up at 4 am to start sweating. Maisie would have a salty and dehydrating meal the night before, followed by a hot bath with salts. Despite the challenging routine, Maisie was dedicated to her role and committed to portraying the character accurately. The series also explores Christian’s rivalry with Coco Chanel and has received positive reviews.
In addition to her professional endeavors, Maisie recently announced her split from her boyfriend of five years, Reuben Selby, in February. The actress shared the news on her Instagram Story, expressing gratitude for their shared creative connection and decision to end the relationship amicably. Reuben, a fashion designer and founder of modelling agency Contact Agency, had been a significant presence in Maisie’s life for several years. While the breakup marked the end of an era for the couple, they emphasized their commitment to protecting their creative collaboration and maintaining a positive relationship moving forward.
Despite the personal changes in her life, Maisie continues to focus on her career and projects like The New Look. The series, which premiered in February, explores the fashion world in post-World War II Paris and the impact of Christian Dior’s iconic ‘New Look’ collection. With ten episodes in the first season, the show captivated audiences with its storytelling and portrayal of historical events. The success of the first season has already led to plans for a second season, indicating the show’s popularity and Maisie’s ongoing involvement in the project.
As Maisie navigates her personal and professional life, she remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and continues to showcase her talent and versatility as an actress. Her dedication to her craft, as seen in her physical transformation for The New Look, reflects her commitment to delivering compelling performances and portraying characters authentically. With her unique sense of style and individuality, Maisie Williams continues to capture the attention of fans and critics alike, solidifying her status as a rising star in Hollywood.
