FKA twigs reveals her first Joséphine Baker look

StudioCanal has released the first image of FKA twigs portraying Joséphine Baker. In this first look, the British singer wears a pink fringe and bead dress, styled with a short wavy cut, and stands on a table, echoing the legend's poses. The film, titled Joséphine Baker, is written and directed by multi-award-winning Maïmouna Doucouré, known for Mignonnes. It will trace the icon of the Roaring Twenties, from her arrival in Paris in 1925 to her involvement in the Resistance and the fight for civil rights, before her entry into the Pantheon in 2021. The cast includes Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Giuseppe Maggio, Grégory Montel and others. Produced by StudioCanal and Bien ou Bien Productions, the feature will soon hit theaters, according to AlloCiné.
