Irish actor Fiona Shaw made a surprise appearance at London Fashion Week on Sunday (23 February), walking the catwalk as part of Simone Rocha’s new showcase.
Shaw, 66, is best known for her roles in TV shows like Bad Sisters and Killing Eve as well as the Harry Potter film series, where she played Petunia Dursley.
Shaw, who appeared in True Detective: Night Country in 2024, spoke to The Independent in December, where she said: “I’d got a bit fed up of acting, fed up of my own acting,” she tells me.
In the acclaimed Star Wars spin-off Andor, she was given the opportunity to play two very different ages – both younger and older than herself – when portraying the protagonist’s mother, Maarva Andor, at different points in her life.
At London Fashion Week 2024, she presented a show at the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great in February, which featured cuddly toys.
