Elibeidy Martinez and Luisana Gonzalez add to AOC’s beautiful December 23, 2018 color brew, lensed by Yelena Yemchuk with styling by Camille Bidault-Waddington. As someone immersed in advancing women of color in every industry and creative endeavor my entire life, there is no doubt that without a lot of fanfare, Porter Magazine and the weekly Porter Edit have done a consistent and spectacular, nothing-to-see-here job of moving Franca’s vision forward.

Robbie will debut in January 2019 as Elizabeth 1, playing opposite Saoirse Ronan as Mary Stuart in ‘Mary, Queen of Scots’. The story centers on Mary Stuart, Elizabeth’s cousin and rival, in which woman is the rightful heir to the Scottish and English thrones.
Robbie has attracted considerable attention in her physical portrayal of Elizabeth 1, who has already been portrayed on movie screens almost 20 times. “Wearing a frizzy red wig, with chalk-white skin and a cluster of facial scars covering her cheeks and chin, Robbie was unrecognisable”, writes Refinery 29.
Director Josie Rourke said Elizabeth’s physical appearance was to find the vulnerability and humanity in a woman that would go on to reign over England for 45 years. In reviewing the film, Rolling Stone praises Rourke, writing:
“ And due credit to debuting director Josie Rourke for keeping the camera on the move and not simply relying on her theatrical chops as the artistic director of London’s Donmar Warehouse. Until their climactic, let’s-use-our-poetic-license of a get-together, teasingly staged amid flowing curtains, Mary and Elizabeth operate out of separate spheres while they side against each other. The irony is that the two queens were kindred spirits, irritated at all the controlling men telling them what to do — like, for example, Mary’s half-brother, the Earl of Moray (James McArdle). “
Rolling Stone continues:
“The film succeeds best when it shows how in times more conducive to the friendship of women in power the two queens could have been sisters under the skin. Ronan (Lady Bird) and Robbie (I, Tonya) were both nominated for a Best Actress Oscar last award season, and even when the pace of the film falters, these two performers hold you in thrall. That’s royalty.”

In her interview, Bonet reflects on her seven-year role playing the strong-willed Denise Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show', working with now-disgraced and back in Philadelphia court, comedian Bill Cosby.
“There was no knowledge on my part about [Cosby’s] specific actions, but… There was just energy. And that type of sinister, shadow energy cannot be concealed," Bonet told Porter Edit,adding that there was "always" a darkness around him. Bonet is hardly alone in her inability to reconcile the stories about Cosby with her memory of his actions on set.
Unlike Phylicia Rashad and Malcolm Jamal Warner, who have openly defended the comedian, Bonet has not, although she maintains that she never observed any inappropriate behavior on the set. "If I had anything more to reveal then it would have happened a long time ago. That’s my nature. The truth will set you free,” Bonet explains, reflecting on the 60 women who have made accusations against Bill Cosby.
Bonet does say that Cosby radiated an energy, a "sinister, shadow energy" that "cannot be concealed". There was "always" a darkness around Cosby, Bonet maintains in her interview.

As painful as it's been ending her 13 year marriage to Martin Isaacs, Mary J Blige tells The Editmagazine that she used the pain of her divorce to emotionally fund her acclaimed role in 'Mudbound'. Blige's character makes on debut in the Netflix film, scheduled for release on Friday November 17.
In her editorial styled by Tracy Taylor, Blige wears the street style she's famous for. Yelena Yemchuk is behind the lens, flashing Blige in what is one of many new editorials to come.
"A lot of the things we do in a relationship are in the name of love. You want to save it, so you do stupid stuff and give him what he wants, knowing you shouldn't. You create a monster, Blige explains.
She added: 'I learned life is the greatest teacher. You gotta ask, what did you do to end up here? That's when you can start to heal. And I realized that I must have hated myself, because I didn't deserve to be treated like that.”
