As KillingEve’s Villanelle, Jodie Comer pulled off perhaps the most fascinating performance: a vicious sociopath so cheeky we couldn’t help but root for her

Is it … it smells so familiar.”
Comer’s invited me to see a vest-wearing celebrity magician, Dan White, perform at Nomad Hotel theater, a first for us both. The act hasn’t even started, and she’s already thoroughly tickled by the details we’d encountered: the completely silent, expressionless woman in white who directed us to our seats , the old-timey set, the Frank Ocean–heavy preshow playlist, the fact that we’re at a magic show at all .
And so, after reading the Killing Eve script, Comer realized Villanelle was a dangerously violent criminal she’d like to go shopping with. “I found myself saying, ‘Oh! I like this because I can relate to her!’” Valentino dress, $8,900 at 693 Fifth Avenue Photo: Olivia Bee Marc Jacobs top, $1,200, pants and rosette, price upon request, at marcjacobs.com.

When she was a 12-year-old in Woolton, Liverpool, where she grew up, she was slated to perform “Cell Block Tango,” a “wildly inappropriate” song from Chicago, with three of her friends at a school talent show.
People who are captivated by Comer’s face onscreen often point to her poreless, symmetrical, saucer-eyed, full-lipped, Pre-Raphaelite beauty. But it’s not her beauty that makes watching her so interesting. It’s her willingness to pull faces, to test the elasticity of her skin and stretch her eyes and mouth into melodramatic pouts, childlike grins, and anguished grimaces that broadcast all the way to space.
