ABOUT VOGUE
Vogue is the authority on fashion news, culture trends, beauty coverage, videos, celebrity style, and fashion week updates.
I love when Vogue does these with people who actually appreciate fashion and not just mention labels
yes
Yes!!
Yeah unlike Harry styles
I hate that the B-rolls of the fashion are so short that I have to pause the video to actually watch the dresses she talks about.
@@pansepot1490 i know!!
She should do audiobooks, her voice is just... it gives me so much peace. Beautiful woman.
She actually has done a few, they're all on Audible(:
She also read some lines for the song of her friend Patrick Wolf. Check out Theseus! That's how I saw her irl years and years ago at a concert of his on stage. We saw her arrive at the venue in a stunning dress and heels in the winter cold and darkness, it was like a vision of a celestial being 😇
British accent baby...I would listen to her voice for bedtime
She did a podcast episode...dirty diana 😂
@@moonstruckfaye i LOVE that record and had no idea it was her! of course it is!
This was, without question, the best Life in Looks so far. Gwendoline's responses were so considered, so eloquent. This is just one of the many reasons why, when you mention her name to pretty much any group of people, they all say, "Oh I LOVE her!". A beauty and a true original ❤
For me is a tie between her and Lupita Nyong’o, absolutely lovely and classy acts.
Her responses were so qwendolent.
for me, the best was lady gaga
As a tall, broad woman, I'm so thankful for Gwendoline and all of the people who put her on display for society to recognize as beautiful. My looks have always made me a bit insecure so seeing her anywhere always makes me happy. Routing for her always.
Saame😅 btw how tall are you?
She is so cool. 6 foot 3 is awesome❤
I love how passionately she's talking about all these looks and how enthusiastic she is like talking to us face to face like a real conversation n she's not just talking to a camera
I just wanted to comment on that. It is fantastic.
of course she talks nice of those dresses. she doesnt wants to lose a job or an ad contract with these designers.
Yeah! She is really enjoying showing us all these outfits and it's like she had been our shopping mate all our life
@@jemandjemand2362 if you cannot recognize the pure love, passion and unmistakable authenticity she is speaking with, I feel sorry for you.
@@ameliaheart5091 blah blah
the fact that she said she felt so beautiful for the first time on screen in the show Wednesday… she is perfect in every way. they really had her in the best outfits and the colors of the outfits suited her perfectly and accentuated her beauty. being a tall woman, i used to struggle with confidence while growing up but seeing someone like gwendoline in the acting industry gives me so much hope and joy to hopefully break into the industry one day. she is a breath of fresh air!!♥️
Absolutely! She is stunning!
I was watching her in awe in every scene she was in :) she's so beautiful!
Every form of representation matters ❤️
tall women are soso beautiful 💗
She's such a natural-born storyteller. Very engaging. I loved her in every interview.
There's no boring interview when gwendoline is there
She could describe paint drying on the walls and I would be rapt
@@AudsLecker I'd watch it over and over again!❤
The fact that this woman can, off the top of her head, give an articulate and concise thesis on every look, without having any idea what looks they would reference. She is incredible and so admirable.
IM OBSESSED WITH GWEN, she is so articulate and sees true meaning in art and i find that fascinating. she speaks so wonderfully on the topics and she paints an image of how much each means to her. not many people have as much heart as she does. She's such a joy
💯 She is so great
She's kinda the whole package when you think about it. She has: strength, beauty, stature, vast intelligence, financial affluence, and dozens of other things. She has skills!
I adore how she finds positive words for every single designer
yeah and different genuine positive words too, it shows how much she really cares which is amazing
Her partner is a fashion designer and she’s long been a fixture on the fashion week party circuit, so it’s no wonder that she genuinely appreciates fashion.
Gwendoline's speech is so clear like a spring, it's a pure pleasure to listen to this incredible woman
Gwendolyn Christie is a gem. She knows exactly who she is. She knew the world was going to have feelings about how she looked, so she decided to give no fucks and present a whole different set of narratives. Being strong is beautiful. Being brave is beautiful. Being alive in a body that the world tells you to hide...is beautifully human. And what a beautiful human she is!
Hear hear! 🙌🏼
She’s so classy yet endearingly bubbly, and funny, love her laugh. Also, she was so attractive with the short/medium hairstyles but oh wow, how gorgeous does she look with longer hair??? And how beautiful her hair is?! 😍😍😍😍😍
Absolutely gorgeous indeed!!!❤️🔥
And she is incredibly smart. Appears to be a psychologically flexible lifetime learner. She's so respectful. And she is so clear with her gratefulness to the design community. She's just impressive
I can listen to her for hours. She can talk about anything, I won’t even care what it is about. Her voice is just so soothing and calming. 🥺
I felt like she was talking directly to me like I was some friend, and we were just catching up. She's so eloquent yet relatable at the same time. Loved this so much!
I felt the same way..I watched and listened so closely like we were having coffee or tea and she was talking just to me..
A woman who's proud and unapologetic of who she is, talking passionately about fashion and celebrating oneself. She speaks like a poet with powerful yet tender words. I am so in love.
The way she speaks with such poise and clarity is mesmerising 😌
this woman is captivating to watch - incredibly nuanced actress, amazing voice to listen to, and graceful, beautiful, elegant, commanding attention and compassionate. brilliant.
You know what I love? How she pronounced Iris van Herpen as close to the Dutch pronunciation as she could, instead of anglifying it. To me that is a great sign of respect for someone. 8:20
i noticed that too! So very considerate of her, she’s a gem♥️
Most of us see a name and pronounce it the way we think it should sound by the way it looks, and the sound depends on your native language. It's entirely different when you have actually met and worked with a person, or people, who pronounce the name the 'correct' way according to their native tongue. One of my favorite youtubers does interviews with people every so often. One of the first questions they ask is 'how do you properly pronounce your name?". People don't mispronounce names out of any kind of malice, they do so because they truly don't know any better.
@@Patryn71 oh I wasn't saying if people say it differently it's rude, but there's a bit of respect in asking how to pronounce someone's name and then remembering to do so
Gwendoline was my favorite in Game of Thrones, I didn't care who won. Just wanted her character to find happiness.
It was sad and infuriating when the writers hurt her so much at the end. Brienne was strong but she deserved better.
@@caitlinb What exactly did Brienne deserve? A happy ending with Jaime, lol? The writers literally had Brienne survive in the end, as the first woman lord commander of the kingsguard who redeemed Jaimie in the white book. Her ending was truly fitting.
@@ianvera4299 lmaoo, people forget the show was game of thrones fr
She and melissandre were beautiful
@@dhananjay1087 Seriously!
This has been the BEST life in looks yet, Gwen is so articulate , she is stunning, I’m happy she has found acceptance in the fashion sphere! I’m gonna watch “Wednesday” now because of her description of her character :)
Me too! I wasn't really interested in watching Wednesday before, but now that I know she's in it, I think I'd like to!
I am blown away by her storytelling and enthusiasm. I felt her emotion and what she wanted to convey emotionally with each look and experience. She kept describing how these people and moments were gifts in her life but she should know that she is a gift and precious too. What an amazing talent and artist she is!
She’s never lost her inner child/magic. Absolutely inspiring
I love how passionate she is about fashion and design, her season 8 Game of Thrones red carpet look is so ethereal.
I really love how she laughs, so genius, so honest, so open heart :)
Her literal “passion 4 fashion” has brought me to tears 🥲🥲🥲🥲
"Hi, I'm Olivia and I have a passion for fashion!" 🤣
It actually made me quite emotional when she spoke about honouring all of the ‘weird’ things about herself, in the end it’s what people love !
Please give Gwendoline her own show already!
FR
Gwendoline really understands fashion, and she's such a talented actor, and a warm, funny and beautiful human
A 15 MINUTE VIDEO OF GWEN TALKING ABOUT HER LIFE IN LOOKS, I THINK MY LIFE HAS REACHED ITS NIRVANA 🔥 and I remember every single one of those looks, I WAS THERE adoring her. What a great video, I'm so proud to be a fan of her for so long (10 years this year ❤), she NEVER lets me down.
I was sitting waiting so excited for different looks to come up to hear what she. had to say about each look. every time she made herself into an art piece
She is soooooo well spoken!! And Brienne of Tarth will always be in the heart of all the GOT fans!!
She is a gem. smart, funny, eloquent, and authentic. She really takes her "life in looks" to the next level. I'd love to see more of this with her!
she is honestly incredible! such a smart, well-spoken, and beautiful woman! I can't wait to see her in more projects and on more red carpets :) she is definitely one of my favs !
And TALL
@Manal i mean yes, but reducing her talent and personality to her height is kinda rude and unnecessary. there are many more amazing things about her that have nothing to do with her height
@@emilymarie7424 I hope you won't find this reductionist, regarding appearance... but I am especially mesmerised by her hands. With those long fingers, and how she uses her hands for emphasis and expression... It makes her particularly fascinating to watch and listen to in a context like this. She SPEAKS with her hands as much as with her wonderfully euphonious voice, and really captures you with her passion. She's just delightful 🙂
@Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey i totally agree! she is very delightful
Gwendoline Christie is just all of us... embracing our unique forms and normalizing our own individuality.. I truly love and support her.. 💜 💗 ❤
You can instantly have a crush on her. She is so well spoken and just has an overall unique vibe
I could listen to her talk for hours and never get bored. So much wisdom, grace, and humor!
That was the best 'Life in looks' I've watched. Gwen was captivating 🤩
She speaks about fashion the way literature teachers speak about books, with utmost passion.
She made Brienne hers and absolutely rocked the role and every other she's done ever since, beautiful and graceful woman but also full of humor and authenticity
Thank you so much for giving Gwendoline this opportunity. She is my biggest idol. I'm 6'4 and the way she portrays herself in the fashion and film industry and stays true her misfit self is so beautiful and rare and inspirational. I have people all the time ask me why I wear heals when I'm "tall enough". I always say same reason as you, they make me feel beautiful, powerful, and make my legs look great!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am the polar opposite of Gwendoline - short, stocky, dark features, and male. All that to say that I absolutely adore her. She is easily one of my favourite contemporary actors and I am so glad that she gets more recognition now.
Her passion for designers makes me so happy! She’s truly joyous in the way she speaks about the things she loves
She is the mother I never had, she is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don’t know a better person.
Gwendoline is extraordinary she never has to try to fit in she was born to stand out. Women like her are revolutionary to not only the industry but as a role model to girls who aren’t standard cookie cutter beauty. And her passion for fashion is fabulously abundant
This is my favorite life in looks episode. She is such a beautiful person. So eloquent and passionate about each and everyone of the looks.
I can't stop smiling whenever she mentions her partner. 😭❤
This is hands down my favorite “Life in Looks” episode Vogue has ever done! Absolutely fantastic
This woman is a treasure and so vibrant. It feels like she's actually talking to us, not putting on a show. The energy here is inspiring and contagious. What a great video.
Love Gwendoline her strength, grace and embracing her individuality is truly inspiring. She would be an absolute hoot at a dinner party that I would love to go to!
Gwendoline is such an amazing person. She is so eloquent and talented but also funny and humble. She is my favorite actress and I am so happy for her that she has had such a sucessful year and is finally being recognised both as an actress and in fashion (which she clearly enjoys).
I could listen to her talk all day. Really moving to hear a strong woman lifting up herself and other people she admires in such an eloquent way.
Thank you for this Vogue! Even though she starred in some huge blockbuster films and tv shows Gwendoline Christie is still a criminally underrated actress. So I thank you for shining some spotlight on her. I hope her career continues to rise and she gets more roles and recognition. This sweet and talented lady deserves it.
She speaks with so much passion and love, it's moving
Gwendoline is such an amazing actress with unique personality! I really love her 😍
I am obsessed with her. Like OBSESSED. She is a breath of fresh air. She is passionate, genuine, and personable. She really chooses her words carefully and out of respect. Just a complete vision in all aspects of the word. ❤️
I LOVE how she describes how she wanted to feel, how she felt and what she was trying to show. I LIVE how she owns her uniqueness and individuality. I have so much respect for her. Amazing.
She’s amazing? I could listen to her speak on anything. She’s so smart and thoughtful ❤❤❤
I love how she talks about fashion, looks, it just draws you in . She is so Inspiring
I was a tall girl when I was younger, I wish I had Gwen when I was younger she would have made me feel much less insecure. She is amazing and tall and she owns that.
As a tall, "flat" woman, I absolutely love that she succeeds as a woman who exceeds popular images as a major actress. She is so beautiful, knowledgeable, and passionate! You are always fabulous, Gwen!
Been a fan of hers for a very long time. Just all around a great actress and an even greater person behind the scenes. Beautiful inside and out. She takes her time in choosing her next projects and it’s always worth the wait, as a fan! She just never disappoints! She’s so in touch with all facets of the character she plays and in here, you can see how passionate she is with not only fashion, but how the appearance of a character informs her instincts on how to portray them. Cant wait to see more of her in the future, whether that’s more in the fashion world or on the screen! Ugh, just so incredible! ❤
I absolutely adore her. She is one of the most articulate and stunning actress out there currently. This is my favorite “Life in Looks” so far.
It’s so enjoyable listening to her talk about fashion and how passionate she is about how fashion has made her feel
Gwendoline is just an absolute star, intelligent, beautiful, eloquent, honest, and without any 'me, me, me' posturing. ❤️ I love her!
You can easily tell how passionate she is about fashion! I’m glad she’s enjoying what she does and I hope she will always be successful and happy ❤ I love her. She’s so beautiful and kind
THIS WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL! I love her sm. Her voice is so soothing. And her acting?? RANGE! ❤❤
The passion that she has when she talks about about fashion and self expression and how important it is to express yourself its amazing and inspiring.
Best fashion video ever. It's a joy to hear her talk about all these looks and what they meant. Beautiful woman with an even more beautiful mind.
Gwendoline Christie is a jewel...Absolutely phenomenal human being, such a wonderful personality. So happy she's getting more screen time 💕🥰
i waited for this for years, i am glad she decided to be herself she doesn’t need to change anything ❤
I could not adore her more. Somebody please give her a whole show talking about the artistry of fashion and design.
I wish I had her as a professor about anything. She speaks with beautiful cadence and vocabulary. Her enthusiasm leaves me hanging on her every word.
Obsessed!!!! Gwendoline is insanely gorgeous and represents us tall birds beautifully. Love and respect for her!!
How do you not love Gwendoline Christie? She such a great beautiful actress... I adore her.
I love how she talks about fashion and what it means to her at the time I wish more designers talked like this about their craft.
Such eloquence and passion. I remember her touring the Victoria and Albert Museum and was fascinated by how she described the different pieces with incredible knowledge and whimsy.
I so so admire how well spoken she is! It’s admirable
She's just magnificent in every single way. A truly iconic being
One of most favourite looking back interview… amazing and stunning clothes.
Gwendoline is so passionate and articulate. She takes my breath away
I could listen to her for hours!!! What a woman!
i absolutely love her. you can just tell that she’s so passionate about these looks and is so happy to share them with us. it feels like i’m looking at her face to face and im not just looking at her through a screen.
the passion in which she speaks is so captivating
Poise, strength, beauty, kindness. She's an all around gorgeous woman, her speech is soooo nice and clear. Love her in everything she does.
This made me so emotional im so happy and proud of her 🥺🫶
I love her passion. When each of your outfit tells a story... I'm gonna have to start wearing my experiences like this. She looks so happy 😊 love this
I feel like GC needs a job voicing a documentary or even parleying acting into politics. Her voice is so strong yet poignant; every syllable is worth the time listening to it
This is the BEST My Life In Looks I have ever watched. Her explanations and her joy when talking about these looks, WOW! I loved this video.
I have always liked Gwendoline Christie. Love her name and she is great in everything she does. I also really think she looks amazing! And unique, there is no one like her I can see why she is much sought after model.
I just love her. So nice to see her get all the great roles and fashion jobs that she wants.
Gwendoline is just absolutely beautiful and she seems so down to earth and fun to be around x
I love that she isn’t afraid of trying not so popular styles in fashion and make-up. Love Iris Van Herpen dress it was iconic.. love also Thom Browne, Tomo Koizumi . And I love her Oscar Dela Renta dress
I’d listen to her tell me a story everyday. Her voice is so calming and that classy english. Gwen as Larissa was just so fun to watch. Thank you Gwen and a Blessed 2023 😍❤️
I loooooove her personality and energy! So much enthusiasm and passion. Just a brilliant woman. ❤
Her voice is so expressive & calming…I wish she did mediation voice overs 😂🥰
I really hope she somehow comes back for season 2! I was so fascinated & intrigued by her character. ❤️
loveee her passion and the way she explains everything it's so magical. the Gwendoline christie universe lives on!!!!
She's such an inspiration to us tall ladies who have always felt out of place
now THIS!!!! is a proper "my life in looks" !!!! she describes every look so poetically, mentions every designer and their strengths and their connection!! With other famous people it's either listing names or going "oh well, that's that" but GWENDOLINEEEE!!! she is intentional, knowledgable, enjoys it! i love her and this so much!
Vogue needs to get her commentary on every red carpet event.
