The South Sudanese model, who entered the industry in 2022 and made her debut at <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/versace-versace-fw-22-show\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Versace\u2019s F\/W 22 show<\/a>, has since fronted campaigns for <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/balmain-balmain-fw-2023-campaign\/2045471\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Balmain<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/fendi-fendi-winter-2023-campaign\/2077797\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fendi<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/rhode-skin-rhode-lip-peptide-2025\/2564270\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rhode<\/a>. However, what she didn\u2019t realize at the time was that the runway would soon lead her into a new creative chapter: film. During that same <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/chanel\">Chanel<\/a> couture show, director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alicewinocour\/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alice Winocour<\/a> noticed Anei and later selected her out of more than 400 models to play \u201cAda\u201d in her new film <em>Couture<\/em>, that follows the intertwining lives of three women in Paris. Among them are Maxine played by <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/Angelina-Jolie\">Angelina Jolie<\/a>, a filmmaker in her forties facing a breast cancer diagnosis; Ada (Anei), a rising model escaping a predetermined future in South Sudan; and Ang\u00e8le (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ella_rumpf\/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ella Rumpf<\/a>), a makeup artist navigating the backstage chaos of fashion week. Beneath the spectacle of couture, their stories reveal quiet resilience and the unspoken solidarity shared across professions, cultures, and continents. For Anei, the experience was both personal and groundbreaking. \u201cI didn\u2019t grow up seeing people like me, and specifically South Sudanese women, in the entertainment world,\u201d she shared. \u201cHaving the honor of being on this kind of platform really motivated me to give my best to the role. I wanted to bring Ada to life as truthfully as possible, not perfectly, but to the best of my abilities. Because to me, it\u2019s not just about representing myself. It\u2019s about representing so many others who can relate to my story.\u201d Models.com caught up with the emerging actor to discuss her first-ever role, the personal connection she found in <em>Couture<\/em>, and what is next for her in her acting journey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2025\/10\/Facetune_24-09-2025-20-28-27.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-168394\" \/><br \/>\n<small> Anyier Anei | Image courtesy of EWG<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What drew you to the film, <em>Couture<\/em>, and how did you feel stepping onto the film set for the first time?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was destiny. I met Alice (Winocour), the director, a few times throughout the year before she officially approached me in October about the movie. She actually met me backstage at Chanel, just randomly, and started asking me questions about South Sudanese girls. She mentioned she was making a movie and asked for my email. I gave it to her, and she sent me an email, but I never responded because I thought it was just someone trying to get me into a movie. I was like, \u201cI\u2019m not an actress.\u201d Then a few months later, in June, my agent called and said, \u201cYou have to rush to Chanel for VIP fittings.\u201d I went in for the fittings, and it turned out that the looks I was trying on were the ones I\u2019d be wearing in the movie. In October, my agent called again and said, \u201cHey, I have a script for a movie for you.\u201d I remember saying, \u201cWhat makes you think I can do a French movie?\u201d and she just said, \u201cGive it a shot.\u201d So I took the script, learned it as quickly as I could, and when I walked into the room, I realized it was the same woman I\u2019d met back in January. That moment really pulled me in. Another reason I felt connected to the project was that Alice (Winocour) ended up tweaking the whole script to reflect parts of my own story. In many ways, it felt like I was telling my own story, which made me even more drawn to it. As for how it felt stepping on set, it was exciting, but also really scary. I had no background in performance or acting, and coming from modeling, you\u2019re used to being beautiful in silence. So the whole idea of speaking and embodying a character was completely new to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong> As this was your first role, so how did you prepare for it in terms of learning the lines?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019d say I\u2019m a pretty fast learner, so it didn\u2019t take me long to get the lines down. This film is a project I take a lot of pride in, and I was very dedicated to it. I went out of my way to learn and do everything I could. I had a coach on set who helped me with the French parts of the script, but she always gave me space to do my thing. Just having that trust really allowed me to maximize my potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ada is described as \u201ca rising model escaping a predetermined future in South Sudan.\u201d As you are South Sudanese, how did you connect with her story on a personal level?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a very personal story. Ada\u2019s life is laid out for her in a safe, traditional way; she\u2019s sent to school, and after that, she\u2019s expected to get married or follow a conventional path to success, but she goes out of her way to chase a light she sees at the end of a very foggy tunnel. She can\u2019t see everything clearly, but she believes in that light and follows it with so much strength and courage. She\u2019s a risk-taker, immersing herself in the chaos of the fashion world even though she\u2019s completely new to it. She knows no one, she\u2019s risking her safety, lying to her parents, and potentially breaking family ties, all to chase her dreams. I connect with that story so much because that\u2019s my reality, too.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOf1dcsjHyX\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Growing up in a big family, you always had to find your own way through things. I went out of my way to find scholarships to further my education, and I consistently pursued my goals. One of the things that helped me through all those phases of my life is that I don\u2019t really have a fear of making mistakes. I\u2019m always open to trying something new. No matter what happens, even if I fall, I\u2019ll always dust myself off and keep going. One of the things that stands out the most about Ada, and something I really wanted to portray, is that she\u2019s a risk-taker. I mention that a lot in the film because it\u2019s so true, she throws herself into a world she knows nothing about, and while she\u2019s a bit na\u00efve, she\u2019s also very raw and genuine in her actions. You can see that she\u2019s young, she\u2019s only 18, so of course she doesn\u2019t know everything yet. She\u2019s navigating a new culture, she knows no one, she\u2019s lying to her parents, but she\u2019s very focused on what she wants. That\u2019s how I connected with her. That determination and focus are exactly how I was raised and how I\u2019ve lived my life. I\u2019ve always gone after what I wanted and stayed focused, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you feel a sense of responsibility in bringing Ada to life, representing not just yourself, but a broader South Sudanese story on an international stage?<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom the day I met Alice (Winocour) we went through the script together and rewriting parts it became my responsibility to make sure Ada was portrayed in a way that, if my younger self were to watch this film, she would believe that the dreams she\u2019s chasing are possible. I didn\u2019t grow up seeing people like me, specifically South Sudanese women, in the entertainment world. Having the honor of being on this kind of platform really pushed me to give everything I could to the role. I wanted to bring Ada to life as truthfully as possible, not perfectly, but to the best of my abilities. Because to me, it\u2019s not just about representing myself. It\u2019s about representing so many others who can relate to my story. There are so many girls who\u2019ve been through similar experiences, and many more who are still afraid to chase their dreams because of cultural expectations or family pressures. That\u2019s why it felt like such a meaningful responsibility to carry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was it like working with Angelina Jolie and Ella Rumpf, especially in a film so centered on women\u2019s solidarity and resilience?<\/strong><br \/>\nHonestly, it felt like a dream. I don\u2019t think I fully processed it until much later, mostly because I had only ever seen Angelina (Jolie) on TV. I didn\u2019t watch much growing up, but of course, I knew who Angelina Jolie was. So, wrapping my head around the fact that I was co-acting and co-starring with her was absolutely insane. At first, I can\u2019t lie, I felt a bit intimidated. I was thinking, I\u2019m working with superstars. They know exactly what they\u2019re doing, and here I am with no acting classes or experience. What do I have to give? But they were both incredibly kind and such women to look up to. They guided me through everything. From the very first day, all the anxiety I had just disappeared because they came on set with so much warmth and great energy. They kept checking in, asking how I was doing, and I think watching how they worked gave me the strength and courage to really go for this role.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2025\/10\/IMG_0988.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1919\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-168399\" \/><br \/>\n<small> Angelina Jolie,  Alice Winocour, Ella Rumpf, Anyier Anei | Image courtesy of EWG<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>You mentioned this earlier, but how did Alice Winocour guide you through your first role?<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking with Alice (Winocour) as my first director was truly a blessing.

From the very first day I got the role, people asked if I wanted to go to acting school before filming, and she immediately said, \u201cNo, I want her as naturally as she is.\u201d She always reminded me that I had the ability to do it, and that\u2019s why she chose me. She had scouted around 400 girls since April before deciding on me. This project came to me out of nowhere. I wasn\u2019t planning to do it, and I never saw myself becoming an actress, at least not anytime soon. It was unexpected but special. Her way of directing was really about letting me improvise, take on the character, and give what I naturally had before she offered small notes or direction. She never forced anything; she guided me gently and with so much grace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coming from modeling, what skills carried over into acting, and what new challenges did you discover on set?<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom modeling, I\u2019d say patience. Spending long hours on set during shoots taught me to be patient, which really helped when we had to do twenty takes of the same scene. I\u2019d also say confidence. I&#8217;ve built a great deal of confidence through fashion. If I had gone straight into film from Kenya, it would have been a completely different experience. Working in fashion helped me become more familiar with myself and my confidence. Being in front of a camera also felt natural, although it\u2019s quite different in film. In fashion, you\u2019re usually encouraged to look directly into the camera, while in film, you\u2019re told to do the opposite. That took some getting used to. The biggest challenge, though, was that acting requires you to fully step into the character to portray them truthfully. In my case, Ada was very close to who I am, so reliving parts of her story was an emotional experience. It wasn\u2019t always easy because some of the tougher scenes reminded me of my own life. I think the process of stepping into a character is much harder than people realize, and it\u2019s definitely something that\u2019s often underrated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you manage to step into that character and fully immerse yourself in it?<\/strong><br \/>\nEvery morning when I woke up, my mantra was, \u201cI am Ada.\u201d When I got on set, I wasn\u2019t Anyier anymore. I constantly reminded myself to let go of who I was. I put aside my confidence, my work, everything, and went back to being who I was when I first started. I think it\u2019s about searching deep within yourself for those emotions and not thinking of it as acting, but as truly expressing how that emotion feels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2025\/10\/IMG_6962.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1892\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-168400\" \/><br \/>\n<small>Anyier Anei | Image courtesy of EWG<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, looking at where you are now compared to where you were back then, what would that be?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019d say focus on progress over perfection and always remember that when you bet on yourself, you always win, as long as you remain resilient and continue to take risks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200b\u200bHas this experience sparked a desire to pursue more acting roles, and if so, what kinds of stories would you love to tell next?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, I\u2019m already booked for my next role, which I\u2019ll be shooting next year. As for the types of roles I\u2019d like to explore, I\u2019d say I\u2019m open to anything versatile, but I\u2019m especially drawn to stories that connect with who I am. I want to tell stories that inspire others, whether that comes through a romance film, a horror story, or something completely different. The world of entertainment and performance is such a beautiful culture. Being part of it now, I realize how many people look up to me, and that alone means everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The film unfolds against the chaos of Paris Fashion Week. How did the wardrobe and glam help you tap into that familiar fashion week energy on set?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we were selecting clothes for my character, they called me in to choose outfits and see what I\u2019d feel comfortable acting in. We tried to find pieces that reflected who Ada was, but honestly, I wasn\u2019t completely satisfied. So I ended up bringing some of my own clothes from when I first started modeling. A few of the looks you see in the film are actually mine, as Anyier, from my early days in the industry. That felt really nostalgic and special because watching those scenes now brings back memories from that time in my life. The movie was sponsored by <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/chanel\">Chanel<\/a>, so it naturally carried that high-fashion atmosphere. Many of the models who appeared on set were girls I already knew from the industry, which made it feel even more authentic. There were days when it didn\u2019t even feel like I was acting in a movie; it just felt like being backstage during a real fashion show.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C4S41O8i0nB\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
