What y’all think about this Elvira style hair they did on Tessa Thompson? We are ecstatic that her performance in ‘Sylvie’s Love’ is being highlighted by W Magazine.

On how her grandmother was one of her inspirations for her performance in Sylvie’s Love:

“My model for Sylvie was a person like Diahann Carroll, who was part of the Black bourgeoisie in New York in the ’50s and ’60s. It was also an homage to my grandmother, who was effortlessly elegant. She had remarkable poise, and I pulled a lot of that for Sylvie.”

Remembering her first kiss:

“I wasn’t a child actor, but my dad had a friend who was a casting director, and they put me in a music video. I kissed a young boy named Floyd, who was also in the video. That was my first kiss, and it’s on camera, immortalized for life. I was 6. I remember feeling very adult that day; I felt like I was born for this. Actually, I think about Floyd every so often.

Hear that Floyd? It’s not too late for you bro! Hit her up.

Have you watched ‘Sylvie’s Love’? It’s so sweet and simple and frustrating because you have two people so obviously meant to be who keep finding obstacles in their way. It’s definitely one of our favorite Tessa Thompson films.
