It is a blisteringly hot Wednesday in London, and Hayley Atwell has just climbed onto Tom Hiddleston’s shoulders. “Perfect!” shouts Vogue’s photographer. Hiddleston grabs Atwell’s knees as she whips off her vintage Comme des Garçons hat. There’s a feeling of celebration in the air, thanks to the pair’s decades-long friendship and their roles in Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Much Ado About Nothing—a confetti-strewn ode to romance. The crates of scented rose petals littering the studio help too.
