The Staircase star talks to Jessica Chastain about growing up with the whole world watching.

“For ten years, I felt like I needed to be the person that everyone else saw because I was growing up and I didn’t know anything else,” Sophie Turner told Jessica Chastain about coming of age in public as the resilient daughter Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones and the telepathic mutant Jean Grey in X-Men. “I feel like I’m only on the beginning of my journey of evolving into a person I probably should have evolved into.”

Now, Turner is 26 with a husband (equally famous former child star Joe Jonas) and a second baby on the way and a new show, The Staircase, on HBO Max. (The miniseries, co-starring Toni Collette and Colin Firth, tells the true story of a wife’s suspicious death and the investigation that followed.) For the Cut’s May-June cover, the actor spoke with friend and former Marvel co-star Jessica Chastain about what they have in common — particularly how they manage their desire for people to know them more for their work than their private lives.

“I spent a lot of time making mistakes and failing and learning a lot about the industry and about developing characters. But my failures got to be in private,” Chastain said. “I find it so admirable but also unfair that everything is being watched.”

In the below conversation, Turner and Chastain also talk about finding some semblance of normality, the growth they’ve experienced, and their commitment to staying true to themselves.

Jessica Chastain: Do I have lipstick on my teeth? I put it on really quick. Where are you right now? Your backdrop is pretty cool.

Sophie Turner: No, you look great; I’m in Miami. I just moved here with Joe. When Joe was like, “Let’s move there,” I was like, “I don’t know. I’ve never seen myself as a Florida girl.” But it’s so family friendly, and the food is amazing here.

Jessica: Right now, the Florida bills aren’t so friendly —

Sophie: Yeah. There are a few things … That’s why I was like, “We’re really going to move to Florida?”

Based on a true story, The Staircase explores the life of Michael Peterson (Colin Firth), his sprawling North Carolina family, and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson (Toni Collette). The eight-episode Max Original limited series, created by Antonio Campos, debuts Thursday, May 5 on HBO Max.

Sophie Turner is no stranger to a Louis Vuitton show. As a face for the label, the actor has attended many of Vuitton’s presentations during Paris Fashion Week, and consistently wears Nicolas Ghesquière’s designs on the red carpet (remember her hot-pink SAG Awards dress in 2020?). It was only natural, then, that Turner and husband Joe Jonas were in the front row of Vuitton’s fall 2020 show yesterday, along with guests like Cody Fern, Emma Chamberlain, and Gemma Chan. “Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world,” says Turner, who documented her getting-ready process for the show for Vogue. “That, combined with attending Nicolas [Ghesquière’s] and Vuitton’s shows, make it one of the most exciting and beautiful weeks in the year.”

This season, her favorite part of the collection was the clothing’s powerful, yet feminine, silhouettes. “It was an incredible show,” says Turner. “He surprises me every season with incredible collections—always so different and daring.” When asked what she could see herself wearing, she calls out the accessories first. “The bags and the jewelry were insane,” says Turner. “I love the exaggerated shapes, the juxtaposition with the flowing gowns and heavy knits. I also love how comfortable some of the looks looked.”

Given the paparazzi were out in full force at the presentation, Turner had to slip into a statement look of her own for the event, of course. She opted for a look from the brand’s spring 2022 collection that included a cropped white top with a chain detail to the neck, a long oversized black leather dress, and a tailored jacket. “The look is a perfect example of Nicolas’s work—breathtaking tailoring, giving you that powerful structure, but with the bright pop of color,” says Turner. For shoes, she added a pop of color via Vuitton’s bright-red ankle boots.

Turner attended the show with her husband, Joe Jonas, by her side. A master of couple style, she admits that they often think about synchronizing their outfits. “When attending an event with someone, be that a show or a carpet, you have to coordinate a little, be that colors or a nod to the accessories,” says Turner. Jonas complemented her in sporty navy-and-white bomber jacket, and they both opted for neutral color tones. “They were the first looks we both tried on and voilà, a perfect match,” says Turner.
