Svelte in a long form-fitting green Max Mara tank dress, X-Men star Alexandra Shipp wiped tears away with her dinner napkin before walking up to the stage to receive the Max Mara Face of the Future award from actress Regina Hall.

“Growing up, I didn’t see a lot of kids who looked like me; I didn’t really see anyone who looked like me on screen,” she said. “Being a biracial theater geek who dances to the beat of her own drum kind of girl, I often didn’t know where I fit in. Luckily, I have an amazing family and mother who let me be me. I remember watching the 2002 Oscars when Halle Berry accepted her award as best actress and I finally saw someone who looked like me. That was inspiring.That was the moment I realized my dream could become a reality. Hopefully some day I’ll have that same impact on a little girl sitting at home with the same type of dream. That’s my goal.”
