The British actress, Gwendoline Christie, commemorates her day of birth on October 28th. She achieved international recognition in 2012 following the premiere of “Game of Thrones,” where she embodied the character of Brienne of Tarth, a notably statuesque and strong woman who evolved into one of the most adored figures among television viewers.

Christie approached this role with commitment – proactive preparation started even prior to the initial screen test. She opted for more masculine attire to embody masculine attributes, trained diligently at the gym and added over six kilograms of muscle mass. Her natural physique was also an advantage, as Gwendoline's height of 192 centimeters aligned precisely with George R.R. Martin's portrayal of the knight. The audience immediately connected with the charismatic British performer, along with the fashion realm. Let’s reflect on Gwendoline Christie’s impressive appearances on the runways.
Christie’s inaugural runway presence was at Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief 2017 charitable event, which occurred during the Cannes Film Festival. Her subsequent involvement was at the Tomo Koizumi collection presentation, a Japanese designer recognized for his vibrant, ruffled ensembles. There was more to come. Christie united with other prominent figures — from Uma Thurman to Kate Bosworth — at the Miu Miu Resort 2019 showcase. The actress projected a dramatic and striking image in a leopard-print trench coat adorned with feathers. In 2023, Gwendolyn was invited by Thom Browne, and her most noteworthy catwalk occurrence was during the significant Maison Margiela couture presentation underneath one of Paris’s bridges. John Galliano entrusted her with concluding the show — a responsibility she managed impeccably.
