In Who What Wear UK’s Autumn 2025 issue, 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 reminds us why she’s one of Britain’s most compelling stars—not just for her acting range, but for her refreshing candor. Photographed in golden sunlight, the 31-year-old House of the Dragon actress lounges in a simple purple vest top, embodying a quiet confidence that feels both disarming and magnetic. The look—a deliberate shift from her high-fashion layered-fur and green-tights ensemble from earlier in the week—perfectly frames the interview’s central theme: authenticity.

𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 speaks openly about her working-class upbringing in Oldham, and how those roots continue to shape her perspective in an industry still dominated by privilege. “I’m not ashamed of where I come from,” she shares, reflecting on the barriers and biases that working-class actors face. Her insights resonate even more when discussing her latest role as Cherry, the ambitious estate agent at the heart of Amazon Prime’s new psychological thriller The Girlfriend. Much like 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 herself, Cherry must navigate a world of class divides, ambition, and the often-unseen weight of microaggressions.

But the conversation isn’t only heavy. 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 reveals an instinctive warmth—taking the interview call while on holiday, she laughs about “never quite switching off.” This balance between dedication and ease makes her both relatable and enviable: a woman grounded in reality, yet unafraid to dream bigger.

The cover shoot captures exactly that duality. The sunlight, the simplicity of her styling, the serene confidence in her gaze—all of it adds to the sense that 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 isn’t trying to be anyone else. She is 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮, unpretentious and unfiltered, a star who shines brightest when she’s entirely herself.

𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 turned heads on the red carpet in London last night as she attended the glittering gala screening of The Girlfriend. The 31-year-old actress oozed effortless glamour in a sleek dark coat lined with luxurious brown fur, a look that gave off vintage Hollywood vibes with a modern edge.

Fans gathered outside the venue to catch a glimpse of the House of the Dragon star, who posed confidently for photographers before heading inside. With her polished yet understated style, 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 once again proved she’s not only a screen talent but also a red-carpet favorite.

The gala marked a high-profile celebration of The Girlfriend, which has been generating buzz for its emotional story and star-studded cast—though it was 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲’s chic appearance that stole the night.

In a candid new feature with The Hollywood Reporter, 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 reflects on the toll and triumph of stardom. From her beginnings in northern England to the global spotlight, the House of the Dragon star has ascended rapidly, but she admits the frenzy of fame has left her “knackered.” Still, exhaustion has only fueled her ambitions. “I want more out of the stories I get to tell and more out of the experiences on set. My curiosity has not been dampened—I think it’s only gotten stronger as I get older. I just crave knowledge from these sages of the industry. I want to work with the best,” she tells THR.

For the exclusive Hollywood Reporter shoot, 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 was photographed by Jem Mitchell, with visual direction from Ash Barhamand and artistic and fashion guidance by Alison Edmond. Ada Guerin served as creative director, while Naomy Pedroza contributed as associate photo editor. Styled in a sleek Saint Laurent coat by Aimee Croysdill, 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 embodied both sophistication and edge. The look was completed by Florrie White’s radiant makeup, Patrick Wilson’s effortless hair styling, and a polished manicure by Saffron Goddard. The shoot, produced on-site by Natasha Wray at Loft Studios London, captured 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 in a moment of transition—between the fatigue of fame and the hunger for artistry.

With her vulnerability laid bare and her ambitions unflinchingly clear, The Hollywood Reporter paints a portrait of 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 not just as a rising star, but as an actress stepping boldly into her most compelling chapter yet.
