Cover Story: Glamour & Introspection in London with Davika Hoorne
The stunning Thai actress takes on the bustling city of London in style with Gucci's chic Fall/Winter 2024 pieces.
Finding inspiration all around with Davika Hoorne, in the heart of London, isn’t a difficult task at all. The Thai superstar is dressed in minimalist yet romantic Fall/Winter 2024 looks from Gucci — much like her multilayered nature, the collection juxtaposes sharp cuts and serious sophistication with design details that are flirty and feminine. Gucci ambassador, style star and one of the most successful Thai actresses of her generation, Hoorne finishes 11 lines, which L’OFFICIEL throws her way, like the pro she is.
The word that best describes who I was in the past is…
Child. It is probably the word that best describes who I was in the past.
I would characterise myself today as having…
Confidence. Especially self-confidence. I am very happy and proud of myself right now, so this word describes me best!
A word that I think will define me in the future is…
Stability. No matter what kind of stability that is, I really hope that I become successful in all of those things in the future.
What I have accomplished is…
Learning to love myself. Because being an actor or a star means that our pace of life is very quick. For us, every second counts and is very valuable in our work. Because of this, we may forget to cherish our own well-being. That is why I am very proud of myself for accomplishing the act of self-love effortlessly.
My biggest dream is…
To become an even better actress! Acting is something that I love so much and I believe that to be a good actor, one must keep learning.
For me, art is…
The freedom to express without the instincts of right or wrong. Art is when we get to release our feelings, opinions or beliefs freely through various formats. All of this without boundaries.
I spend most of my time on…
Work.
On the top of my mind now is…
That it’s so cold! I literally want to shout out that it’s so cold. Why isn’t London being kind to me? [laughs] Right now, London might have me feeling cold, but it is a beautiful city full of wonderful stories.
The most meaningful life lesson for me has been…
Well, there are a lot, but if I need to think of one thing right now, it would be to be kind to everything and everyone around us. I think this is the most meaningful life lesson for me.
My life now can be compared to…
A sunflower. Because sunflowers are durable, beautiful, bright and always blooming with colours blended together perfectly.
I am happiest when I am…
Watching movies, being with the person I love, playing with my babies (dogs), and of course, receiving love from my dearest fans.
