At the photo call, Russell sported a vintage John Galliano ensemble from the designer’s spring 1995 collection.

The “Bones and All” star has been a global ambassador for Loewe since 2022. She’s since posed for the label’s ad campaigns and opened their spring 2023 runway show in Paris. Jonathan Anderson, Loewe‘s creative director, met Russell through a mutual friend: Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.

“Jonathan has been at the forefront of creativity in fashion, with such a distinct vision and voice,” Russell said in a statement following the announcement of her ambassadorship. “I am excited for our imaginations to reach new heights as we explore and collaborate in this incredibly special partnership.”
