Thai actress Namtan Tipnaree is a fresh vision in Givenchy Fall/Winter 2025 by Sarah Burton. The star tells L&rsquo;OFFICIEL SINGAPORE about Girl Rules and her other upcoming projects, and how her goal has always been to help people feel valued and confident

One might choose to call Thai actress Namtan Tipnaree a slow burner, but as the old adage goes, &ldquo;slow and steady wins the race&rdquo;. Twelve years ago, the star got her beginnings in the entertainment industry as a co-host of Strawberry Krubcake, which also featured Bright Vachirawit. She then transitioned into acting, playing support and main roles in several television series, before fortifying her position as an actress with Friend Zone in 2018. Fast forward to 2025 and ultimately, Namtan (whose name means &ldquo;sugar&rdquo;) is having a taste of sweet success, working on as many as three drama projects &mdash; including the recently concluded hit, Enigma Black Stage &mdash; at once. She has also cemented her status as a style aficionado, gracing the front row of fashion week shows. Yet in the end, what makes her happiest is &ldquo;how the performing arts I love can positively impact society by helping people feel valued and confident,&rdquo; she tells L&rsquo;OFFICIEL SINGAPORE.

Hi Namtan. Let's talk about your recent projects. You were recently in Enigma Black Stage. What did you find most challenging about working on it?
The biggest challenge was managing my time during that period, as I was working on three dramas at once, coping with limited rest, and immersing myself in the story&rsquo;s supernatural elements, which were far from my own experience.
We will soon see you in Girl Rules, in which you play the lead role. What can you tell us about the drama and your role? 
This series offers a fresh, new vibe, and I believe my role as Prim will be truly delightful for viewers.

What else can we look forward to from Namtan in the near future?
Some exciting new projects are coming up that I&rsquo;m sure will be a lot of fun, but I can&rsquo;t spill the details just yet. It has been around 12 years since you made your debut in the industry.
What is one thing that you are proudest of so far?
It&rsquo;s about how the performing arts I love can positively impact society by helping people feel valued and confident.
You recently attended both New York fashion week and Milan fashion week. How were those experiences for you? 
Every time I attend fashion week, I learn something new for my work. I get to meet new people, explore different cultures, see the unique beauty of each city, its history, food, and fashion. Above all, I gain wonderful connections that make me feel truly honoured and embraced.

How would you describe your style? 
I feel like my fashion sense mirrors who I am. It&rsquo;s direct, versatile, occasionally fun, sometimes minimal, and at other times, mysterious.
You've been travelling a lot recently. Do you have any secrets when it comes to maintaining your health and beauty while on the road? 
Sleep is the most important thing, followed by exercise and eating healthy. When I get enough rest, stay active, and eat well, I don&rsquo;t get sick.

&ldquo;I HOPE PEOPLE WILL love ME FOR WHO I AM, value MY WORK, AND CONTINUE TO BE THEMSELVES AS THEY ARE NOW.&rdquo;

The end of the year is arriving soon. Is there anything you would like to accomplish before 2025 comes to a close? 
I want to be super fit and toned.
What are your aspirations for the future, both professionally and personally? 
In both my career and personal life, I hope people will love me for who I am, value my work, and continue to be themselves as they are now.
