mama AFRIKA 2011

Fiona Apple reigned in the '90s...Cate Blanchett took the title in the early '00s...but Tilda Swinton? Tilda takes the cake!

Perhaps the whitest woman in the free world, Tilda is Mama Afrika for a new generation.

Besides being a risktaker on the red carpet, often turning to avant garde and conceptual designers such as Victor & Rolf, Haider Akermann, Issey Miyake, and of course, Alexander McQueen, the Academy Award winner takes risks in her personal life, as well.

Living with both her husband and her boo in a castle in the farthest reaches of Scotland, Tilda explained, "It's the way we have been for nearly four years. I'm very fortunate. It takes some extraordinary men to make a situation like that work."


Um, that's the understatement of the motherlovin' year, boo. However, I hesitate to judge, considering Ms. Swinton has crafted a reality that makes sense to her : a move that's hard for people, and women more specifically. She seems quite happy with the results and why shouldn't she?

Go figure: Mama Afrika has major swag.
