About Clémence Poésy

Clémence Poésy is a French actress who has brought alive an array of unforgettable female characters on stage, television, and film, including Joan of Arc (The Silence of Joan), Countess Natasha Rostova (War and Peace), Mary, Queen of Scots (Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot), Roxane (Cyrano de Bergerac), and the charming and formidable sorceress Fleur Delacour (the Harry Potter movies). As a model, her strong and independent spirit have helped make her the celebrated face of Chloé perfume.

Clémence proudly devotes energy to support W4 and its field partners around the world. She is excited to be part of an organization that combines humanitarian work and digital technology to empower those most in need: "I wish to make a contribution to innovative, diverse, and ambitious projects that allow girls and women to escape the precarious socio-economic situations in which they live."

The world of women's rights is a natural milieu for this actress. Last year, she participated in the 'Pink October' campaign to help raise awareness of breast cancer, "because”—as she says—“although this disease can have devastating consequences, it can be easily be curbed by regular medical check-ups." All her life, Clémence has been surrounded by strong female role models, notably her mother and grandmothers, who "introduced me to the responsibility that each woman has to defend women's rights as a whole." Clémence has carried this conviction with her throughout her acting career, channeling her inner 'female warrior' to play “historical figures that have reminded me how fortunate I am to have been born a woman at this time, and in France."

Reflecting on her new role as Ambassador for W4, Clémence says: "As a woman, it seems unthinkable to not advocate on women's behalf, for the sake of us all; to not continue the fight for equality that began with my predecessors; to not support those who fight for their freedom around the world; and to not celebrate their victories and their chosen path. It is with trust and hope that we look towards the future and what we still must achieve."
