“Have you watched
You
yet?”
It’s a question that’s been asked many times at Coveteur HQ over the past few weeks, as the most Netflix-enthused editors among us sing the show’s praises for being addictive, thought-provoking, and incredibly creepy all at once. So, you can imagine our delight when Ferragamo rang us up to chat with it’s star Elizabeth Lail before the label’s New York Fashion Week dinner—a selection of Ferragamo’s newest pieces to fawn over included.
“I’m so drawn to the history of the brand,” Lail told us. “All the old Hollywood actors and actresses wore it. I find that very romantic and I feel really honored to be a part of that.”
Another honor? Landing the role of Beck in
You
—a young woman who bookstore manager Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, becomes obsessed with.
“I like to keep my expectations pretty low,” Lail told us of the impact she expected the show to have. “For me, it’s about being a part of the project and my experience on the project, and then after that it’s up to fate, I suppose.”
Fate determined that
You
would be hit—such a hit that Lail would be among those tapped to help Ferragamo celebrate the house’s new Gancini print. Before she headed to the party at Sant Ambroeus, and before she clinked glasses with women’s collections creative director, Paul Andrew, here’s what she told us about her North Carolina upbringing, her early days in NYC, and her favorite TV show (hint: it has nothing to do with a stalker).
