You know what sort of surprises me? Cressida Bonas’ transition to “celebrity/actress/model” is really working. Like, she’s pulling it off with some legitimacy. You would think that a 26-year-old former royal girlfriend would be able to get some attention, of course, especially since she’s pretty and blonde and well-connected, but Cressida really is “starting” a whole new career and it’s working. She’s already scored her first film acting role (in Tulip Fever), she’s already being groomed by Harvey Weinstein (ew), and she’s already headlining a major fashion campaign for Mulberry.

Cressida came to LA last month on behalf of her Mulberry contract. She wore the same Mulberry dress (the Buttercup Dress) in two different colors to two different events. Not surprisingly, her Mulberry commercial/video features Cressida in the same dress. She also shows off her impressive dance moves – remember, Cressida studied dance at university. She really is a trained dancer and she moves very well.

It’s a cute ad. I end up watching a lot of these commercials/short video ads and I enjoyed this. I prefer this kind of thing to, say, Matthew McConaughey sitting in a Lincoln and talking about the cosmos. The song in this Mulberry ad is ESG’s “Dance”. Cressida told WWD: “It was so much fun. I had a choreographed routine, but a lot of it was improvised because the music just makes you want to dance naturally.”

Here are some more photos of Cressida acting like she’s too big of a star to pose on the red carpet for the McQueen exhibition last Thursday:
