Never one to play it safe, Tessa Thompson’s latest editorial for S Magazine proves she is still a fashion force, deftly fusing classic sophistication with a modern, edgy sensibility. The ‘Film Issue’ spread for Fall 2025 captures the actor in a series of looks that are both aspirational and deeply personal.
Thompson’s fashion narrative for the magazine is a masterclass in contrasts, weaving together soft textures with sharp tailoring. The first look sees her in a pristine white bouclé jacket, its tactile surface dotted with small, dark buttons. This Chanel-esque piece has a slightly oversized, structured silhouette that balances its delicate feel. A cascading, statement necklace of oversized pearls and gold beads adds a whimsical, almost regal touch, drawing the eye down and creating a striking vertical line. Her hair, long and straight, frames her face, and her makeup—a smoked-out eye and a subtle nude lip—lends a quiet intensity to the portrait. This look is about subtle power, a quiet command of both elegance and attitude.
