Meet actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.
, actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai portrays a young Indigenous teen who longs to flee his reservation in rural Oklahoma in search of bigger and better opportunities. In more ways than one, it’s a story that mimics his own career trajectory: Woon-A-Tai, who is Oji-Cree, is from Toronto and now making it big as one of Hollywood’s freshest faces .
“I have always been a fan of fashion, and to be given the chance to tell my story through clothes has been a dream come true,” says Woon-A-Tai of his stylish press tour outfits. “Avo found interesting ways of incorporating medallions and Indigenous designers into almost all the press looks.” It was important for the star to reflect his heritage through his fashion choices: He says he recognizes how something like a red carpet or panel appearance gives a major platform to underrepresented talent.
Yermagyan also accessorized Woon-A-Tai’s sleek suits with family heirlooms, including his grandfather’s mukluk boots and one-of-a-kind beaded medallion necklaces. “I loved incorporating his own beaded necklaces into his looks,” says Yermagyan. “I styled entire looks based on the intricate beaded patterns of his necklaces.
. “It’s a four-directions symbol with four ivory, billed woodpeckers, which were considered war birds in the Southeast,” says Woon-A-Tai. “The image was originally found on a shell.”Photo: Jonny MarlowReservation Dogs. Not only does it feature his character’s name, Bear, but it was also made by his costar Paulina Alexis’s cousin, Shaneesa Aginas, an Indigenous beadwork artist. “It was an honor for me to learn about his culture and the work of Indigenous artists,” says Yermagyan of these special items. “He showed me how to handle them with reverence and special care.”Suit by Dolce & Gabbana, top by Dunhill
