There are many faces in Hollywood but none quite like the award-winning Jessica Chastain. On-screen, she is known for playing strong characters such as Lady Lucille Sharpe in Crimson Peak, Murph in Interstellar, Ava Faulkner in Ava and Molly Bloom in Molly’s Game.

Off screen and away from the limelight, Chastain proves she’s just as powerful as the women she portrays, as she is known for being vocal about her feminist stands including shattering gender stereotypes, supporting the abolishment of gender-based pay gap and more.

Chastain’s personality is one of the many reasons why she is the star of Gucci’s latest collection. The luxury brand seeks to find a character that emanates elegance, power and eccentricity—traits that the actress pictures effortlessly.

Gucci’s high jewellery collection, Hortus Deliciarum, features unique and empowering pieces, a creative ode to specific historical and architectural eras suspended in time and space. In this campaign, the actress is featured in a series of photographs and a dedicated film.

Hortus Deliciarum, which is Latin for “Garden of Delights”, draws on the symbolic motifs that are dear to Alessandro Michele and the House of Gucci. It also represents the mementoes Chastain’s character has accumulated throughout her life travels.
