According to this https://www.attitude.co.uk/uncategorised/virgin-atlantic-champions-diversity-with-new-lgbtq-inclusive-advert-403403/
everyone in the ad is aVirgin employee.

That’s fantastic!

Here's another pic of the lady, alongside Richard Branson.

Isabella Rossellini?

Thank goodness op. I've been wondering the same thing ever since it came out. I have even tried to search for a cast list on the internet with no luck. I'm sure I recognise the actress.

@HurdyGurdy19 I always think it looks like Mel C too, but I’m not sure it is. Perhaps all of the ‘passengers’ in the ad are deliberate lookalikes

I don't know who she is, but I think that the woman who pulls the face to the child looks very much like Melanie Chisholm, the Spice Girl.

I thought it was Esme Young

Not Esme. And it was a genuine question, I thought I recognised her from TV but clearly not. Thanks for the posters who actually tried to help!

Op I'm sure you mean well

But this thread won't go well!

She might be Edna Mode from The Incredibles

HadEnoughOfBears · 07/05/2023 15:02

I think she look a bit like Jenny Eclair (with different hair) incase that's what you're thinking?

A Google image search shows pages about the ad campaign which say the pics are of charismatic-looking passengers.

Buzzer3555 · 07/05/2023 14:57

I don't think she is anyone famous just representing a successful woman relaxing while travelling
