In person, McGregor is effervescent and kind but clearly feels emotions deeply. She moved from London to Los Angeles with her family when she was 11. Her mother is French and not only taught her and her three sisters to speak the language, but also instilled in them a worldly sensibility. \u201cI rely on my mother quite a lot,\u201d she says. \u201cShe is my rock and my inspiration for a huge amount of myself and my ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Adult Person Clothing Footwear and Shoe\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/6809446fa6841009fd0418cf\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/052025-esther-mcgregor-embed-4B.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd jSwmTa iXWezO caption__text\">Bodysuit by <strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana;<\/strong> boots by <strong>Jimmy Choo;<\/strong> sunglasses by <strong>Ray-Ban;<\/strong> tights by <strong>Wolford.<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd cvffOM fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph by Nick Riley Bentham; Styled by Jake Sammis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">McGregor loved drawing from an early age\u2014\u201cit was a really good way for me to focus and keep my mind still\u201d\u2014and, during COVID, started to learn about tattooing through her then girlfriend. (She gave one of her first tattoos to her father, of a scarf he\u2019d seen in a dream.) McGregor discovered that she loved the craft, both as an art form and a means of making connections. Four years ago, while a student at NYU, she and a friend opened a women-and queer-friendly tattoo shop in New York called Pink Ether. \u201cGetting to meet people in this environment where my social anxiety isn\u2019t off of the rocker because I\u2019m working\u2014I got to open up so much because it\u2019s this true transaction of trust,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/esther-mcgregor-can-do-it-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her father is Ewan McGregor\u2014who knows about the galactic dark side too\u2014and her mother is Eve Mavrakis, an art director and production designer for films.
