Jessie Buckley says playing a Traitor is terrifying, yet she may be unusually good at it.

1. The Run-Through with Vogue follows Jessie Buckley through awards speeches, The Bride, red-carpet dressing, Traitors, reading, and theater. 2. Vogue deputy editor Taylor Antrim and senior features and news editor Marlee Marius interview Buckley, an actress and singer appearing in The Bride and Hamnet. 3. The conversation asks how Buckley handles awards-season visibility while using acting, clothing, and theater to pursue greater artistic and personal autonomy. 4. Buckley says she was four for four during awards season and especially valued the SAG Actors Awards because it came from fellow performers. 5. Buckley describes attending the SAG ceremony with Emily Watson, who came to her hotel room to get ready and decide whether it was champagne time at 12:45. 6. Buckley says she traveled with her seven-month-old daughter during awards season and moved between nighttime childcare and putting on a formal dress. 7. Buckley explains that The Bride, written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, required a year of preparation for three distinct personalities, tap dancing, Gaga dancing, and different physical forms. 8. Buckley says she had two weeks between The Bride and Hamnet, carrying the Bride's physical electricity into Agnes's grounded, embodied motherhood. 9. Buckley describes Christian Bale as raising the bar during their dance work and says the film's party sequence marks the beginning of a revolution. 10. Buckley discusses the John Galliano look at The Bride premiere and says fashion has sometimes helped her redefine herself, from buying a bowler hat and Doc Martens in London to working with Danielle Goldberg. 11. Buckley says Goldberg encouraged her to be visible during a period when her body was changing through breastfeeding and its end. 12. Buckley says acceptance speeches are not entirely improvised because she writes ideas down about women, motherhood, the film, and her artistic community. 13. Buckley recalls becoming overwhelmed at the BAFTAs after Cillian Murphy presented her with an award and Paul Thomas Anderson became part of the visual distraction. 14. Buckley names Jane Campion, Leos Carax, and Paweł Pawlikowski among directors she would like to work with. 15. Buckley says her next project is based on the graphic novel Three Sisters and includes Saoirse Ronan, Josh O'Connor, and Dakota Johnson in its cast. 16. Buckley says she wants to create a London theater company with friends and a producer to develop new work rather than perform another familiar Ibsen play. 17. Buckley describes reading C.S. Lewis, Marie-Louise von Franz, Sea State, and David Whyte's Constellations while models at Isabel Marant use backstage time for books and audiobooks. 18. The interview moves between candid awards anecdotes, detailed process talk, fashion memories, literary recommendations, and playful reality-television discussion. 19. Film, theater, fashion, and awards-season followers will appreciate Buckley's process. 20. Listeners seeking plot-heavy entertainment may skip this craft-focused conversation.
