Ugandan Canadian Actress Whitney Peak is on a role, the raising star has so far featured in major television series and movies like Gossip Girl, Chilling adventures of Sabrina and most recently Disney’s Hocus Pocus. Born in Uganda and neutralized in Canada Whitney keeps making the mother land proud and for her latest spread in L’Officiel Brazil Whitney takes braids to a whole new level.
In the magazine, Whitney sports several edgy looks from high-end brands like Chanel but the tar of all the pictures in the insanely perfect hair that is matched with precise makeup. Take a look:
Read excerpts from the interview below.
On who the real Whitney Peak is?
I love to work and learn – keep my mind sharp and my soul fed. I love what I do and I am very aware of how lucky I am to be where I am. I really value my family and friends – they are a great support system. I like to be alone and spend most of my free days at home reading and watching tv, which means I’m a bit of a homebody.
I only go out to work or to hang out with my friends – I like to have fun, but extremes scare me. Lots of people or noisy places, I get overwhelmed easily so I meet new people, small talk all of that is hard. I need to work on it, I like to have fun, but what that means changes daily.
On how her character’s style differs from her personal style
Lately, I’ve been loving collars, well-made shirts, blouses, and elegance without being too formal. I’m in a very experimental phase. So does Zoya, I suppose, but she has a very strict, baggy, street-style cool vibe to her wardrobe. She puts it all out there at events and on the weekend. I’m just into shoulder pads, looking like someone’s prep schoolteacher. An obsession with silhouettes.
