It’s been more than a decade since the original Hunger Games films premiered. Based on the bestselling young-adult dystopian novels by Suzanne Collins, the franchise has thrilled audiences and built a solid fanbase.

Last year, it was announced that Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer would be taking on the role of Tigris Snow, in the highly anticipated prequel film, The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. Fans of the franchise and Hunter have been eager to find out more about the trans star’s role, and last week Lionsgate released the first poster featuring her character. The actor is a certified style icon, and it appears her character will be as well.

The film will open in cinemas on 17 November.
