ABOUT ME
Jenny Rieu creates cinematic work rooted in glamour, identity, and power.
Jenny Rieu is a Paris-born creative director and model based in Los Angeles, known for her cinematic approach to glamour and representation.
Drawing from the lineage of Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, and Dorothy Dandridge, her work reinterprets the visual codes of the Black pin-up through a contemporary lens, blending Old Hollywood influences with a modern perspective. Her projects explore visibility and authorship, particularly for bodies and identities historically excluded from these narratives.
With a background in modeling and acting, her approach to image-making is informed by performance as much as direction. She trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and studied international communications in Paris, with an early foundation in opera.
She is the founder of Studio des Muses, a creative studio developing cinematic visual worlds across fashion, lingerie, and beauty through editorial direction, branded campaigns, and short-form film.
Jenny has been featured in Ebony, Essence, InStyle Magazine, Hello Magazine and Paris Match. She was nominated by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a Rising Star (2019) and Champion of Women (2026), and for Her Agenda's Groundbreakers Awards (2026).
