Career and background
Expósito has described horror as a genre she has loved since childhood. In the 2024 film El llanto, she appeared alongside Malena Villa and Mathilde Ollivier. Speaking to Vogue España around its San Sebastián festival presentation, she said she had deliberately waited for projects that interested her rather than accepting every offer after Élite.Source: Vogue España ↗
Fashion is another public strand of her work. At Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2025 show in Barcelona’s Park Güell, held in May 2024, she spoke to Vogue España about the house’s variety and her interest in exploring different styles. She also recalled presenting Amat Escalante’s Lost in the Night at Cannes the previous year.Source: Vogue España ↗
