Ursula Corberó Covers Vogue España May 2025 in an Elizaveta Porodina Production
/Spanish actor Ursula Corberó loves her Loewe, a house that has worked with the actor since 2021 in the Loewe Amazona Bag 2021 Campaign. Corberó created an official relationship with the house as an ambassador for the Loewe Botanical Rainbow Fragrances in 2023.
At her inaugural 2025 SAG Awards, the Spanish actress and model captured attention in a knitted mini trapeze Loewe dress featuring shimmering mother-of-pearl-effect sequins. The event celebrated her nomination for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series for her performance in ‘The Day of the Jackal’.
Does Ursula Corberó Have ‘Killer Instincts’?
Corberó is well-acquainted with the thriller genre. Whether she’s Tokyo, the de facto leader behind Spain’s biggest bank heists in Netflix’s ‘Money Heist’, or portraying The Baroness, a skilled agent of the villainous Cobra in the 2021 film ‘Snake Eyes’, the actor clearly has the psychological, emotional, physical conditioning and personality tools to shine in female action roles.
However, in her latest performance as Nuria, the unknowing wife of the mysterious assassin, ‘The Jackal’ [played by Eddie Redmayne], Corberó shifts from her usual intense-characters portfolio to one that is more delicate and emotional. Dare we say ‘complex’?
Forget Ghost Busters or an Exorcist: Call Porodina
Who better to photograph a talented, female actor playing a ‘psychologically complex’ woman than Elizaveta Porodina? [IG] The creator of wide-ranging visual portraits of women writes to the actor — while speaking simultaneously to her followers:
“. . . dark sorcery happening — or is it all in her head — what is the story that you are reading?”
Anne asks: As humans, don’t we create some kind of storyline around the simplest observation we have of another person? What’s our storytelling accuracy rate with the real story? Perhaps 10%?
Turning the Table
How much of our own selves is the input lens that is processing the truth or reality of our observations? And what happens when that woman morphs through her own reality and behaviors, as if she grabbed the small tin-table of our observed ‘facts’, masterfully threw it up into the air and shattered all the testimony we were prepared to ‘give’ to the ‘authorities’ from religion to business human resources groups that govern her existence? What then? Clinging even tighter to the stereotypes about that woman’s ‘type’?
