There’s something about Jodie Turner-Smith.
The British model-turned-actress captivated fans when she landed the role of Queen in the Melina Matsoukas-directed Queen and Slim, and with just one photo in her new role as Anne Boleyn, she made jaws drop again. Call it a mix of undeniable talent, incredible style, and a splash of 'je ne sais quoi.'

In the photo Jodie shared on Instagram Thursday, she stares into the camera giving a troubled look, wearing a headpiece complete with a veil, a black velvet dress, and a pearl necklace with a gold pendant.

Fans and the new mom’s friends were wowed and quickly hit her comments to sing her praises. “THIS RIGHT HERE,” Kerry Washington wrote, adding heart emojis. “Yup yup here for this,” Ellen Pompeo chimed in. “Gorgeous congratulations,” Cynthia Erivo replied.

"I loved the script, and the humanity of the person at the center of it," Jodie told the magazine. "It resonated with me as a story about motherhood, having just had my own child, and it highlights the many ways in which female bodies were policed and politicized, and still are."
