5 things to know about Margaret Qualley, the star of MAID Who is the highly talented rising star of American cinema?

If you haven't watched MAID yet because you're still addicted to Squid Game, stop doing anything else, go to Netflix and press play. Cause this miniseries is a beautiful punch in the gut that will keep you stuck to the screen. The story, created by Molly Smith Metzler ( who previously wrote Orange is the New Black) and based on Stephanie Land's memoir  Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive,  follows the struggles (and countless downfalls) of Alex, "a single mother who turns to housecleaning to – barely – make ends meet as she escapes an abusive relationship and overcomes homelessness to create a better life for her daughter". 

She starred in three great videos 

If after watching MAID you have a little crush on Margaret and want to explore her entire filmography, our advice is to start with three videos that you can easily find online and according to many are her best performances. The first is My mutant Brain, the commercial for the launch of Kenzo Worlds perfume directed by Spike Jonze. The video opens with the actress walking away from a dinner party and beginning a liberating dance, including pirouettes and grimaces, created by Ryan Heffington, the same choreographer of Sia's Chandelier video clip. The second video to watch carefully appeared on Instagram a while ago and features Qualley pretending to be Miranda July's sweetheart. Within minutes, the talented 26-year-old is toddling, crying, wiggling desperately and asking Miranda to marry her. All via FaceTime. The last video, however, is a visual transposition of Love Me Like You Hate Me by Rainsford, stage name of Rainey Qualley, Margaret's sister. While the notes flow, the screen alternates between poetic images of the actress and Shia LaBeouf (Qualley's partner until she broke with him in early 2021 following allegations of being abused by his former girlfriend, FKA Twigs) telling their sentimental journey from falling in love to crisis.

Her BFFs include Cara Delevingne, Lily-Rose Depp and Kaia Gerber

Margaret Qualley, Cara Delevingne, Lily-Rose Depp and Kaia Gerber are friends. Seeing all three of them together, it's like being backstage at a Chanel fashion show, and it is perhaps in this way, between one social event and another, that the four girls have cemented their friendship. Their background is similar: all the daughters of artists, it-girls who grew up among privileges, luxury, celebrities, art and coolness. They are all extremely talented, beautiful and have a sense of style, and are capable of alternating effortlessly elegant red carpet dresses with oversized jumpsuits, expensive jewelry and pieces so normcore that if we wore them, even our dog would refuse to be spotted with us, but instead, on Margaret & co, they work.
