@thuso.mbedu looking out into the sunset over the pacific ocean for @vanityfair styled by @olivianicoleweeden in @carolinaherrera & @tiffanyandco Thuso Mbedu is taking the big screen by storm in #TheWomanking. After her breakout role in 'The Underground Railroad,' the rising South African star turned down a major franchise-which one? "I can't say!"-to star in the historical epic opposite Viola Davis and Lashana Lynch. "Being surrounded by such strong, fierce women," she tells V.F., pausing to smile, "I am looking forward to the press tour."
