When your movie hits the coveted #1 spot on Netflix, it calls for a serious celebration. And no one does it quite like Ghanaian-Canadian actress Jackie Appiah. As her latest film “A Taste of Sin” climbed to the top of the streaming giant’s charts, Appiah took to Instagram to celebrate the achievement in typical diva fashion – by flaunting her lavish Parisian lifestyle.
In a video, the stunning actress gives fans a glimpse into her ultra-glam getaway in the City of Lights. Strutting down boutique-lined streets in a sleek black ensemble, Appiah exudes the kind of confident allure that landed her on the global stage. She pauses to admire the glistening displays of Chopard jewels before slipping into the hallowed doors of the Gucci flagship store on Champs-Élysées.
As if plucked from the pages of a high-fashion editorial, Appiah emerges draped in the iconic double-G monogram canvas tote and matching sandals. With a playful toss of her bouncy curls, she lets the camera linger on her designer wares – a subtle flex reserved for those who have truly arrived.
In her caption written in French, Appiah draws parallels between the thrill of her Parisian shopping spree and the rush of having a #1 movie on Netflix. “Feeling très très bien like I did in Paris because my movie ‘A Taste of Sin’ hit No.1 on Netflix,” she wrote, punctuating her triumph with a crown emoji fit for Hawaiian royalty.
The video swiftly racked up over a million views and endless congratulatory comments from Appiah’s adoring fans. Many praised not just her acting skills, but her ability to seamlessly merge raw talent with old-world glamour. “You are glowing and looking so elegant,” one admirer gushed, while another chimed in “Deserved, Queen! You worked so hard for this.”
For those new to the Appiah phenomenon, “A Taste of Sin” offers a tantalizing introduction. The sultry soap opera follows the illicit relationship between Onika, a married woman, and her lover Nate, as their passionate tryst threatens to upend the lives of everyone around them. With themes of betrayal, desire, and the lengths people go for love, it’s no wonder the passionate drama shot straight to the top of Netflix’s racy offerings.
As for Appiah, this latest achievement is simply one more jewel in an already bejeweled crown. With a decades-long career that cuts across both the Ghanaian and Nigerian film industries, she has solidified her status as true African royalty. And if “A Taste of Sin’s” success is any indication, Appiah won’t be hanging up her designer heels anytime soon – she’s just getting started.
