The character of Lara Croft has transformed over decades. To understand why Destiny Dixon’s adaptation resonates, one must look at the character's visual history:
Some of her notable creative projects include:
Destiny Dixon thrives in this environment. Unlike actresses who fear the camera at a bad angle, Dixon’s social media presence is filled with "hardware" images—the cuts, the bruises, the mud. Her aesthetic is inherently survivalist . She has the look of someone who has slept in a cave and eaten a raw fish to survive. For a Tomb Raider narrative that bridges the gap between the island of Yamatai and the Croft Manor lifestyle, you need an actress who can sell the transition from feral survivor to refined adventurer. Dixon can do the feral look better than anyone in the industry right now.
The elephant in the room is the accent. Lara Croft is quintessentially English—upper-middle class, Home Counties, dialed up to eleven. Destiny Dixon is American.
