After taking on the lead role in a big-budget production, Aria Mia Loberti continues to make history. The 30-year-old actress, who was born with a genetic eye condition called achromatopsia, is legally blind. Still, in her first audition, she secured the role of Marie-Laure in the TV mini series All the Light We Cannot See. It’s based on a novel by Anthony Doerr and focuses on what happens when a blind, French teenager crosses paths with a German soldier in occupied France.
This show, and Loberti’s role, have proven to be a huge success. It’s also given the blind community much needed representation. This is something that only continues as Loberti finds herself in the spotlight more and more. Recently, though, Roberti’s guide dog got to join her in the spotlight.

On the Golden Globes red carpet, fans can’t wait to see what their favorite stars will be wearing or who they brought as their guests. This year, it’s safe to say that Loberti and her dog, Miss Ingrid, stole the show. According to the interviewer, and Loberti herself, Miss Ingrid’s appearance with her is a first.
As you can see, Miss Ingrid looks stunning with her pearl necklaces. It’s an understated look, but she wears it well. Then there’s Loberti, of course, who looks absolutely stunning in a simple black, high-slit dress.
As fun as it is to discuss what the stars are wearing, what made this moment truly special is Loberti getting the chance to highlight was an incredible win it is for the blind community to see someone like her getting these types of opportunities.
“This is the first time in history we’ve had authentic representation for a character in a film of this size,” Loberti says. “It was my honor to represent my community and my culture. It’s never been done before, and that’s a really big responsibility.”
There’s no doubt that there are countless folks cheering Loberti on as she continues to make history!
