Style Spotlight: Tessa Thompson is undisputedly one of Hollywood’s best dressed fashion icons

It goes without saying that Tessa Thompson is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with, having starred in major films and TV shows like the Thor franchise, Avengers: Endgame, Men in Black: International, HBO’s Westworld, and most recently, Creed III alongside the dashing Michael B. Jordan. But acting chops aside, she’s just as much of an icon when she’s off the screens with her fearless approach to fashion. Her choice of bold looks has always kept us on our toes (in a good way), from oh-so-feminine get-ups to edgy ensembles. Remember her leather-and-silk look at the 2019 Met Gala? Her braid alone took 12 feet of latex and a week to make—talk about dedication!

While promoting Creed III in early March, Thompson pulled out all the stops with her press tour outfits as usual, sporting ensembles that were nothing less than head-turning. All of her looks were a nod to her girlboss musician character Bianca Creed, with her wardrobe radiating a fusion of classic sophistication and a touch of edge across numerous impeccable designer ensembles, including a few iconic archived pieces from Vivienne Westwood and Comme des Garçons.

In general, the stunner has never been spotted in a bad ‘fit wherever she goes—serving looks just comes naturally for her! Thompson’s fearlessness and fierceness with fashion serve as an inspiration to many, and her fellow Hollywood A-listers should definitely take notes.

Below, take a look at some of Tessa Thompson’s show-stopping outfits that we (and many others) can’t get enough of.

As fresh as a rose

Arguably her best press tour wardrobe so far, Thompson was spotted in an impeccable line-up of vintage Vivienne Westwood ensembles while promoting Creed III. The looks were sourced from none other than Aralda Vintage, the vintage fashion utopia for all the iconic It girls, including Alexa Demie and Taylor Russell.
