These Fashion Moments Prove Tessa Thompson Has the Best Style Game in Hollywood

Dec 1 2020

Tessa Thompson may be best known as Valkyrie, but her fashion game is just as fierce as her MCU character from Thor: Ragnarok.

During a December 2019 interview with Essence, Thompson described her personal style and fashion priorities. "I like to wear things that are bold, fun, and interesting," she said, and it definitely shows. Thompson stuns in just about everything she wears, but check out the gallery for some of her most memorable looks.
