Becoming Anna

Within the Malaysian entertainment scene right now, Anna Jobling has quickly become a household name and a force to be reckoned with. Her most notable work to date is perhaps Melur Untuk Firdaus, a Malay romantic drama that has taken the nation by storm with her as the leading role. It was such a great success that it led to a second season this year, reaching its finale in mid-April. It gives us great pleasure to feature this outstanding starlet for an exclusive shoot, fully dressed in the Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

Even though she is only 22 years old, Anna is an exemplary actress who never rests on her laurels. As we speak, she has already made plans to expand her career outside of Malaysia. Her first stop? Indonesia. Ralph Lauren makes a fitting wardrobe for Anna, as this season sees the brand celebrating the American West Coast, a place that birthed Hollywood and the land of the brightest stars.

‘Melur Untuk Firdaus’ was a raging success and the second season is nearing its finale (after the interview had taken place). How do you feel right now?
