AYO EDEBIRI
Back in Europe, Hollywood’s latest ingenue (a term Ayo Edebiri pokes fun at in interviews) snaps a picture of photographer Tyler Mitchell at Le Bristol hotel as the two prepare to attend Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel debut at the Grand Palais. It’s an auspicious day, Edebiri’s first appearance as Blazy’s new muse and ambassador. As she heads to the show, this multihyphenate artist is manifesting the dreams of Black girls everywhere who have waited for a young star who looks like them to be seated in the front row.
