Lavender From Matilda Has Grown Up To Be Gorgeous

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Matilda didn't always cross paths with friendly faces in the film, but her best friend Lavender shows her that kindness exists among good people. Lavender, played by Kiami Davael, befriends Matilda while the two are hiding on the school playground away from their crude principal Miss Trunchbull. Much similarly to Matilda's signature red hair bow, Lavender notably wore large glasses and braids with colorful clips.

Although we may remember her in her role as the tiny, innocent Lavender, Davael doesn't look recognizable from her Matilda days. All grown up, Davael wears several hats as an actress, singer-songwriter, model, and screenwriter. The Kentucky native has also made appearances in sitcoms such as Moesha and The Steve Harvey Show. As of March 2021, Davael maintains an active social media presence on Instagram, where she regularly shares selfies, fan-submitted content, and adorable candids of her nieces and nephews. It's been a while since we've seen Davael on our film screens, but we can't help but remember her iconic character!
