Happiness is being a part of the universe

I’m always result-oriented. We come together to get results. If you’re working with a team of like-minded ambitious people and you’re all on the same wavelength, then you will see great results: ease, good mood, creative zeal, and a general joy of being a part of the process. Each member of the team is a part of the whole. Just like atoms, you come together to create a unified organism, a whole small world.

I do think that autumn is the most stylish of all seasons. Puffer jackets are still a mile away, you don’t need to roll yourself up into a ball, and you can select gorgeous accessories: bags, gloves, hats. Right now, it’s fashionable to wear a shirt and a coat over a turtleneck and even add a scarf on top. There is a beautiful sort of eclectic here, and I do love eclecticism. That’s very much my style. I often wear such looks to shooting locations.

There is an obvious charm of a woman in an evening dress who’s wearing her companion’s evening jacket over her shoulders. She seems even more feminine and delicate from such a combination.

I wouldn’t say that I’m a haphazard sort of shopper, but I do approach shopping as a way of getting out of the dumps. Some people will prefer dancing, meditating, or a nice meal. As for me, whenever I’m blue, I go shopping. It’s a way to relieve stress. I’m well-versed in brands, I know what patterns look best on me, and I know what I can pair my new items with.

It may seem strange but this is the first time in my 33 years on this earth that I actually feel as calm, well balanced, and confident as any person can reasonably feel. I’ve come to realize that everything that happens is for the best. I do wish myself to remain in such harmony with myself and the world.

My favorite brands? Sportmax, Max&Co, Maison Margiela, Burberry… There are a lot of names! I spend most of my time on set, so comfort is very important to me. I have evening dresses, but they’re still waiting for me on the hangers. I didn’t even remove the price tags. I like classics. I prefer things that are easy to mix and combine with other items from my wardrobe. Though, admittedly, there are some items in my closet that I’m still trying to pair with something.

I have a Dior jacket, very high fashion, very haute couture, unbelievably luxurious. I bought it… and it’s just hanging there because I can’t find a matching skirt. Maybe, it’s still waiting for its time to shine. I love accessories by Alberta Ferretti. I have a spectacular collar in the style of Maria de’ Medici. I got it at a BoscoVesna fashion show.

I went to a movie premiere wearing it and it became a showstopper. There were a lot of comments. But I don’t mind, I even like it.

Everyone should go see “Cheburashka”! The film premieres on January 1, 2023. The TV series “Open Marriage” is currently in production. My character is very fashion-minded, we’re working on her personal style. I turned out to be my own costume designer. How I look on the screen is very important to me. If I’m wearing something that fits the character 100% and that suits me well, everything changes: the look in my eyes, my way of speaking, the way I walk. The clothes do make a role in a certain sense. I don’t even begin considering my character’s psyche before I find the right clothes for her. During auditions and shoots, I always travel with a suitcase. Everyone knows this. I bring everything with me, even a steamer. I’m only relying on myself. And that’s perfectly justified. That’s the way to make sure your nerves are in check (laughs).
