Musician and actress Ella Hunt is having the most brilliant year, dazzling the red carpets at Cannes and Toronto International Film Festivals in natural diamonds, promoting two of this year’s major ensemble films: Kevin Costner’s epic Western saga Horizon, in which she plays Juliette Chesney, a teacher on the Oregon Trail, and Jason Reitman’s biopic comedy Saturday Night, which recreates the nail-biting 90 minutes prior to the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975, where she embodies the iconic comedian Gilda Radner, literally leaping and pirouetting like a fairy dusting the stage with magic.
Only Natural Diamonds sat down with Hunt and got real about experiencing diamonds for the first time, expressing the multifaceted layers of herself, and capturing disparate characters from vastly different eras in her latest work.
She imitates no one and is truly in a class of her own, reflected in pH๏τographer Mark Lim’s take on the powerful woman, heightened by exciting cuts of natural diamonds in the bold jewelry of Reza, Nikos Koulis, and mirrored in the sharp lines of vintage Italian sports cars.
