Career
Following her graduation, Jabbari toured with the Mark Bruce Company, a dance theatre company.[2][5] She portrayed a vampire bride in the company's production of Dracula[4] and Calypso in its production of The Odyssey.[6][5] In 2019, she participated in Russell Maliphant's production Silent Lines;[7][8] Louise Levene of the Financial Times wrote that Jabbari "shows off her flexible spine in a solo filled with impossible backbends that make her tiny feet seem nailed to the floor",[7] while Emma Byrne of the Evening Standard said she "seems less to be dancing Maliphant's choreography than inhabiting it".[9]
In 2020, Jabbari played Belle in A Christmas Carol, with the character being voiced by Carey Mulligan.[4] She has appeared as a dancer in films such as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Barbie.[10][3] She also appeared in the music video for the Coldplay song "Cry Cry Cry"[10] and worked as a movement coach on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.[10][3]
Personal life
Jabbari lives in New York City and London.[3]
In August 2021, Jabbari began a relationship with American actor Jonathan Majors, whom she met in London on the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.[11] In 2023, she provided a court testimony regarding assault by Majors, which resulted in a conviction.[12][13][14]
Following Majors's conviction, Jabbari asked her Instagram followers to donate to Sanctuary for Families, a charity for victims of domestic violence.[1]
