New York-born and bred actress Lily McInerny might be unknown to some of us, but the budding star is quickly making a name for herself amongst the TikTok Gen.
The independent film star has even caught the eye of Hedi Slimane, who photographed the 25-year-old star for his Portrait of series earlier this year in LA.
Choosing McInerny is fitting for Slimane, who’s built his career on being in the know and is often heavily inspired by youth culture and the next generation.
McInerny’s stardom is set to explode. Her latest project, Bonjour Tristesse, a film adaptation of a popular French novel from the 50’s, which she stars in alongside Chloë Sevigny, is currently in post-production.
PORTRAIT OF AN ACTRESS
Slimane not only photographed McInerny but also styled her, focusing on timeless Celine pieces with a youthful edge. Of course, the brand’s latest bag, The Victoire, which is quickly becoming a favorite of the style set, is given a spotlight in this chapter of the series.
An easy, more relaxed alternative to the classic Triomphe, the Victoire is the ultimate cool-girl carry and looks right at home on Lily McInerny’s arm. Appearing first on the runway for Spring/Summer 2024, the Victoire will launch in new iterations this coming fall. Check out more below, and shop the full range of Victoire bags via Celine.
