Maisie Williams first became a household name at 12, playing fan-favorite Arya Stark across all eight seasons of HBO's Game of Thrones. In the years since the series ended, she has moved through a run of varied roles, including a Marvel turn in The New Mutants, punk-era muse Jordan in the Sex Pistols biopic Pistol, and Christian Dior's sister Catherine in Apple TV+'s The New Look. Now 29 and approaching 30, Williams has increasingly used red carpet dressing as a tool to signal her shift from child star to adult leading lady, a transition that's on full display during her current press run for Practical Magic 2.
Williams is the subject of Who What Wear UK's new Autumn 2026 cover story, published September 8 and timed to the film's release, in which she speaks with writer Laura Antonia Jordan about fashion, turning 30, and stepping fully into this next phase of her career. The interview arrives as Williams wraps a press tour that has become one of her most fashion-forward outings yet, and it doubles as a clear marker of how far her style has evolved since her Game of Thrones years.
