Undisputed queen of independent cinema, the 50-year-old American actress has been stacking up exciting and demanding roles on both the big and small screens ever since she made her debut in the 1990s. Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong><\/a> has always exuded a kind of grunge poetry and unique sensuality characterised by casualness and androgyny. As the ultimate symbol of adolescence and outsiders, she gave both a voice and look to those living in the shadows, on the margins, that resonate on a large scale.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, underground muse of cinema<\/h2>\n\n

The prodigious actress and occasional director has starred in cult, offbeat and intense films, such as Kids <\/em><\/strong>(1995), Gummo<\/em><\/strong> (1997), Boys Don\u2019t Cry<\/em> (1999), American Psycho<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (2000), Dogville<\/em> (2003), The Brown Bunny<\/em> (2003), and Zodiac<\/em><\/strong> (2007).<\/p><\/p>\n\n

From Jim Jarmusch to Lars von Trier<\/h2>\n\n

With her strange, magnetic beauty, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong> was discovered at the age 17 by a fashion editor in the streets of East Village, New York. She has that unique ability to captivate renowned directors, from Jim Jarmusch<\/strong><\/a> to Werner Herzog<\/strong>, Larry Clark<\/strong>, Harmony Korine<\/strong><\/a>, and Lars von Trier<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Still highly-demanded in Hollywood, especially by the sharpest filmmakers, the actress recently appeared in the film Bones and All<\/em><\/strong>, and in the season 2 of Feud <\/em><\/strong>released in 2024. Produced by Ryan Murphy<\/strong> and directed by Gus Van Sant<\/strong>, it is a symbol of counterculture, much like the actress herself.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Her standout performance in the Netflix series Monsters<\/em><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n

Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong><\/a> also delivered a memorable performance in the Netflix hit series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story<\/em><\/strong> (2024), a grisly show narrating the case of two brothers, Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted in 1996 for the murder of their parents. The American actress also portrayed an impeccably dressed, yet haunting character in the feature film Bonjour Tristesse<\/em><\/strong> (2025).<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Besides, she will soon star in Luca Guadagnino<\/strong>\u2019s upcoming film After the Hunt<\/em> <\/strong>(2025), alongside Julia Roberts<\/strong><\/a> and Ayo Edebiri<\/strong><\/a>, as well as in the documentary John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office<\/em>, in Magic Farm<\/em>, in Atropia<\/em> with Callum Turner<\/strong>, and in the series The Five-Star Weekend<\/em> (2026) with Jennifer Garner<\/strong> and Regina Hall.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

A avant-garde fashion icon<\/h2>\n\n

But beyond her acting skills, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong> is also an it-girl, a key figure of American underground culture, and one of the best-dressed women in the world. Somewhere between the fashion-savvy New Yorker who is a front-row regular at Fashion Weeks<\/strong> and the cool kid skating in a faded band tee, the actress has brought her personal, audacious blend of styles into pop culture. She oscillates between masculine and feminine, vintage and designer, bohemian flair and punk-rock details, with a sensual and iconoclastic ease.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

The US new face of Miu Miu Beauty<\/h2>\n\n

Her offbeat, magnetic aesthetics hits the mark once again in Miu Miu Beauty<\/strong>\u2019s latest campaign, shot by Petra Collins<\/strong><\/a>. The star is now the new US ambassador for the brand\u2019s fragrance Miutine<\/strong>, thus joining tennis player Coco Gauff<\/strong> and model Paloma Elsesser<\/strong>. This new chapter strengthens Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s long-standing connection with Miu Miu – she walked the runway for the house’s Fall\/Winter 2026-2027 collection. Num\u00e9ro<\/em> took that opportunity to catch up with the actress.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Interview with Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, star of the film After the Hunt<\/em><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n

Num\u00e9ro<\/em>: You star in the film After the Hunt<\/em>, alongside Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield. What drew you to this project directed by Luca Guadagnino<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong>: Well, this is my third time working with Luca Guadagnino<\/strong>. We did a series called We Are Who We Are <\/em><\/strong>in 2020, then Bones and All<\/em> <\/strong>in 2022. I love working with him. I love the way of he works and I love him as a person. I like his creative strength, and just being around him. He has an amazing energy, and he is a very instinctive, emotional director, which is really stimulating and freeing. Luca doesn\u2019t come in with a fixed idea of how he wants to shoot something. He arrives on set, we rehearse, he tests the waters, and then decides how to film it. Opportunities like that are rare.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Was there anything else that drew you to this project?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Yes, I was also excited to work with Julia Roberts<\/strong> who, when I was younger, was the biggest movie star in the world. I also think the conversations the film explores are important. It\u2019s primarily a thriller, but it also dives into the intricacies of cancel culture. That topic hasn\u2019t really been tackled on the big screen until now. I thought it was meaningful to be part of that conversation.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

What other film or TV projects do you have coming up?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

I’ve just finished shooting a series called The Five-Star Weekend<\/em><\/strong>, created by Bekah Brunstetter. It\u2019s kind of a feel-good series featuring five women. It was the most fun I\u2019ve had on a shoot in a long time, it was fantastic. Working with these women – Jennifer Garner<\/strong>, Regina Hall<\/strong>, Gemma Chan, and D\u2019Arcy Carden – was incredible. We had female directors, female producers. It was a wonderful experience. Tomorrow, I\u2019m heading off to shoot an indie film upstate. So yes, I\u2019m always busy. I\u2019m a real workhorse. I love working, creating, collaborating, and taking chances. I’m making a lot of films, some work, some don\u2019t. But I don\u2019t want to just sit around waiting for projects to fall in my lap. I try to be proactive, to work, to develop interesting things, hoping that some of them find their audience.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

\u201cI still feel like a teenager at heart<\/em>.\u201d – Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/h2><\/h2>\n\n

You are a true fashion icon. We have never seen you badly dressed\u2026 What is your secret?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Oh my God! Are you sure? Thank you (laughs). Well, I think style is partly an innate thing. It\u2019s something you\u2019re born with. I also do a lot of shopping and curating. I really think about my clothes and what I buy. When I\u2019m on the red carpet, I work with my friend Haley Wollens<\/strong>, who I\u2019ve been collaborating with for 10 years. She\u2019s really great at pushing me to wear things I might not think of, and to reach a level of elegance and glamour that I don\u2019t really bring into my day-to-day life.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

So you don\u2019t like to put too much effort into your everyday outfits?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

Actually, it\u2019s like I\u2019m five years old, running to school and heading to the playground. That\u2019s hard for me. I still feel like a teenager at heart. But I think that when I go out or when I\u2019m on the red carpet, I do try to bring that with me. It just takes a little effort.<\/p>\n\n

Where do you draw your fashion inspirations from?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

What has always inspired me are the kids I see on the street, people I know who work in fashion, and even people I see on Instagram. I can go from vintage photo accounts to contemporary ones. If you can curate well, you can find a goldmine of inspiration. For example, I follow an account that collects period costumes. I remember one photo that really stuck with me. It was a stunning shot of Isabelle Huppert with flowers in her hair.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
