Rebecca Ferguson has solidified her status as a red carpet luminary, turning heads with her penchant for dramatic, sculptural gowns that exude elegance and individuality.

The Swedish actress is redefining modern glamour, showcasing her ability to seamlessly blend classic sophistication with bold, avant-garde fashion.

Born Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström on October 19, 1983, in Stockholm Sweden, she first stepped into the spotlight with the Swedish soap opera Nya Tider in 1999. She transitioned to film in 2004 with the slasher Drowning Ghost but gained international acclaim as Elizabeth Woodville in the BBC drama The White Queen (2013), earning herself a Golden Globe nomination. Ferguson’s dynamic career includes starring as MI6 agent Ilsa Faust in three Mission: Impossible films alongside Tom Cruise and delivering memorable performances in The Greatest Showman (2017), Doctor Sleep (2019), and of course the epic Dune series alongside co-stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet.

Raised in Stockholm, Ferguson’s British mother Rosemary, played a unique role in pop culture history, translating ABBA's Waterloo lyrics and appearing on the cover of their 1975 album. Her father, Olov Sundström, is a Swedish businessman, and Ferguson later adopted her mother’s surname as her stage name.

Behind Ferguson's recent standout red carpet moments is Belgian stylist Tom Eerebout, who masterfully curated her looks for the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning press tour, the Dune press tour, and the Met Gala. Eerebout’s vision often draws on literary and artistic inspiration, as seen in her haunting custom Thom Browne ensemble. Quoting Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, he described the look’s eerie essence, "Merely this and nothing more. Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'" With an eye for high fashion and an impressive body of work, Rebecca Ferguson continues to captivate both on and off the screen.
