LOS ANGELES \u2013 Now sought-after for her edgy, androgynous style, actress Ruby Rose initially struggled to find her niche.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first started in the industry back home in Australia at 18 there was a lot of push and shove as to how I should dress, if I was allowed to cut my hair short, if I had too many tattoos,\u201d Rose said in an interview Tuesday. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t get a campaign or if I didn\u2019t get a role, they would always come back to \u2018well, she dresses like a boy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Times have changed for the \u201cOrange is the New Black\u201d breakout star, who recently swapped her Litchfield Prison uniform for distressed overalls and cutoff shorts as the face of Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n

Rose, who counts Vivienne Westwood, Annie Lennox and Madonna among her style icons, teamed with model Hailey Baldwin for the brand’s latest social media and global ad campaign.<\/p>\n

She credits her hit Netflix series along with Amazon\u2019s \u201cTransparent\u201d for sparking a dialogue about gender identity and acceptance in the entertainment industry and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were waiting to start this conversation,\u201d said Rose. \u201cSomeone had to ignite it and once that happened, it was just a snowball effect where you had celebrities and all different people coming out and saying, \u2018I\u2019m gender fluid\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m transgender,\u2019 and people feeling more comfortable in their skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old also praised Louis Vuitton\u2019s latest womenswear campaign featuring actor-rapper Jaden Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean he\u2019s so amazing but the reason that\u2019s so special is because that\u2019s how he dresses,\u201d said Rose. \u201cIt\u2019s not like they just went \u2018OK, we\u2019re going to grab a guy that\u2019s popular, that people like, and we\u2019re going to put him in a dress.\u2019 It\u2019s not done in a tasteless way. It\u2019s just this is who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though it has not yet been announced if her \u201cOrange\u201d character, Stella Carlin, will return for season four, Rose is busy with upcoming films including \u201cJohn Wick 2\u201d and \u201cResident Evil: The Final Chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cActing is my life. It\u2019s what I live and breathe,\u201d said Rose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
