A Cinderella moment! Gugu Mbatha-Raw stunned in a new shoot for the December issue of Modern Luxury's Angeleno magazine, in which she dons gowns by Chanel and Carolina Herrera.
"I got to wear my first Chanel dress Ive never even tried on any Chanel before," the Brit, 32, tells the magazine. "And the Carolina Herrera dress I wore had a demure quality to it that made me feel like Audrey Hepburn."

Opening up about her role in Concussion, the actress admits she felt an almost instant connection with her character Prema, a Nigerian immigrant whose husband (Will Smith) sheds light on how the NFL turns a blind eye to head traumas.
"Theyre two foreigners in America, but [they] somehow bring a perspective that was not numbed by the culture," she says. "There was a freshness to the way that they saw life and the culture here. I relate to that in some ways, in terms of not having grown up with American football in my consciousness.

I was like, wow, Im doing all of these projects that are thematically about identitymaybe thats a little indicator that thats something I need to look at."
