The Tony Award-winning actor took the stage at Vogue World: London to perform Shakespeare’s famous monologue from Henry IV: Part II in a dress fit for a queen.
The Tony Award-winning actor took the stage at Vogue World: London to perform Shakespeare’s famous “uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” monologue fromFor her highly anticipated performance of one of King Henry IV’s most well-known monologue, Okonedo wore a voluminous dress from Vivienne Westwood, which was previously modeled by Alek Wek on the brand’s fall 1997 runway.
The white gown has a full skirt; exaggerated hips that extend from a cinched, drop waist; and upturned neckline, creating plenty of surface area to cover the fabric in a pattern of colorful lilies and sea monsters, which were hand-painted by the Vivienne Westwood Ateliers.
Okonedo is one of several renowned actors to take the stage at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for Vogue World: London. The night, which will feature odes to Britain’s most quintessential cultural contributions, will also raise money for a variety of performing arts charities in the United Kingdom's capitol, including the National Theatre, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, Southbank Sinfonia, and Rambert.
The cause is certainly not lost on the Westwood team. “The arts are fundamental to the human race,” Kronthaler says. “It’s important to know the past, it’s an anchor and it gives you power. Your duty to your life is to understand the world you live in. The art lover is a freedom fighter.” Between the Westwood’s Elizabethan silhouette and Okonedo’s knockout performance, Vogue World: London guests surely felt transported back to the Queen’s rule.
