DUBAI: She’s appeared in plenty of blockbuster films and now French-Algerian actress Sofia Boutella is set to star in a new campaign video for Parisian fashion label Chloe.

The 38-year-old actress shared the exciting news this week via Instagram, giving her 488,000 followers a first look at the clip. 

“Preview to our little video we did for @chloe during the summer,” she wrote, revealing that the clip was created by herself and US actor and dancer Keean Johnson. “Stay tuned for the full video,” she added.

In the snippet shared by Boutella, the Algeria-born star can be seen dancing in a deserted forest wearing a white, floral-printed dress from Chloe.

It’s not the first time that Boutella has worked with the storied French brand. In October, the “Atomic Blonde” star made her catwalk debut at the label’s Spring 2021 show during Paris Fashion Week.

Designer Natacha Ramsay-Levi staged her Chloe Spring 2021 ready-to-wear show within Paris’s courtyard of the Palais de Tokyo. On three massive screens, live footage captured her models making their way to the runway. 

The casting was made up of women from the worlds of film, art, music and fashion and included artist and DJ Phoebe Collings-James, director Deniz Gamze Ergüven and actress Sigrid Bouaziz, who all set the stage for Boutella, who closed out the show.

Although it was her first time on the catwalk, Boutella, who caught the eye of Madonna as a street dancer in Paris before transitioning into acting, has appeared in campaigns for the French fashion house a number of times.

Meanwhile, Chloe recently made headlines in December when it was announced that Ramsay-Levi was stepping down from her role as creative director after four years designing for the maison. 

Her Spring 2021 show starring Boutella was her last for Chloe.

In a statement, the designer said: “Over the last months of health, social, and economic turmoil, I have thought about the changes I want to see in our industry and how to better align them with my own creative, intellectual, and emotional values. It is this reflection that makes me consider my future differently and desire to pursue new opportunities.”

She will be succeeded by Uruguayan-American designer Gabriela Hearst.
