For the latest issue of WWD Weekend, Ana de Armas slips effortlessly between Old Hollywood charm and contemporary cool in a story lensed by photographer Matthew Sprout. With her leading role in the highly anticipated Ballerina—a spinoff of the John Wick universe—set to drop this June, de Armas is stepping into a new echelon of stardom, and this editorial captures her precisely at that hinge point.
Shot in elegant black and white, the series feels like a cinematic homage—de Armas dons tailored Louis Vuitton looks, eyes closed in one moment of repose, cracking a wide grin in the next.
There’s something almost Katherine Hepburn meets Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy about it all: sculptural collars, wide-leg trousers, and an arresting sense of polish with a wink of play. Sprout’s lens doesn’t just flatter—it frames de Armas as a woman in full command of her contradictions: glamour without stiffness, poise with just enough edge.
