Jodie Turner-Smith’s star has been on the rise ever since her breakout performance in Queen & Slim, and she’s getting ready to unleash her full power. The British actress will rule every aspect of our lives in the next few months, and here’s where you’re going to see her next.

Television

All hell broke loose after Turner-Smith was cast as Anne Boleyn is the three-part mini-series that chronicles the final months leading to the queen’s beheading. Despite the mixed reviews of the series itself, Turner-Smith has been praised for using the role to showcase her acting abilities.

Movies

Turner-Smith recently appeared alongside Michael B. Jordan in the action thriller Without Remorse, and this isn’t even her most exciting movie project of 2021. Her latest film After Yang premiered in Cannes to positive reviews, and it centers on a family that reckons with questions of love, connection, and loss after their A.I. helper breaks down.

Fashion

Turner-Smith kicked off her showbiz career by modeling, so it’s not a surprise all the leading designers want to work with her. She seems to have a soft spot for Gucci, and we’ve seen her rocking several of their designs in Cannes, including this over-the-top feathered yellow dress.
