It's almost hard to believe Zendaya has never starred on the front page of Essence before, but at last, her day has finally come!

The glossy unveiled the 19-year-old's fierce cover for their August issue on Monday, and she looks absolutely stunning in front of the beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil backdrop!

Though it's inside the magazine where Z shares her words of wisdom, including why she spoke up after Giuliana Rancic famously made an offensive and controversial comment about her dreadlocks.

Zendaya explained:

"When I talk to people about that, this is not new. It's not something I just started doing. I just did it in public and more people saw it than usual. I don't remember when I didn't do it, to be completely honest. I think that's just the way I was raised, or the way my parents just taught me to be…"

Continuing on the same vein, the Disney starlet also expressed just why it's so important for her use her voice. Sharing what it's like to be a role model, she dished:

"You've got to realize those Twitter followers, those kids who watch you, that's technically power. So, to me, I have a responsibility or a duty to the people who watch me to promote positive things, or to show them positive things, or to enlighten them…"

As we've seen from her feed, the young star isn't taking her responsibility lightly.

Ch-ch-check out the rest of her spread in the gallery (above)!

Jaden doesn't let that bother him, and he's even happy to be the fall guy so that others can feel comfortable sharing their uniqueness with the world.

His individuality is also highly evident on the cover of Nylon magazine's August issue, with Jaden wearing an Isabel Marant lace turtleneck and studded Gucci denim jacket.

He's also the first guy to appear solo on the front of the mag!

In the accompanying interview, the model and actor explains his philosophy:

Ash looks HAWT on the front page, putting some of the attention on her spilling cleavage which she flaunted in a figure-hugging Ashley Stewart bodysuit.

Slay, girl!

And inside the glossy, the 28-year-old opened up about wanting to just be a called a "model"… without the "plus-size" prefix. She shared:

"Just because I'm not calling myself plus size doesn't mean I'm not representing a woman who is… I'm giving curvy women a seat at a table that we've never been invited to before—a table with high-end fashion people who have never considered us beautiful."

Although, talking about how Amy Schumer called out Glamour for grouping her into their plus-size themed issue back in April, the beautiful brunette had this to say:

Mila Kunis is back!

Starring in her first film, Bad Moms, since giving birth to little Wyatt back in 2014, it's no wonder Glamour wanted to snag the actress to star in their August issue!

And of course, they couldn't not go without asking the pregnant 32-year-old about motherhood!

Speaking on raising her daughter, Mila joked:

"Children are f*cking crazy. They're also suicidal. Like, at the park, certain jungle gyms have an opening for older kids to jump out of. She's 19 months; she can't jump. She just walks off it as if she's on a pirate ship. Another important thing to learn is that kids have a personality that has nothing to do with you. I have a really sweet daughter. She wants to hug all the other kids. I didn't teach her to be sweet. It has nothing to do with me. I've realized you can control only so much."

Aww! Well, we're sure she and husband Ashton Kutcher are so proud!

The actress even added she's "obsessed" with being a momma, giving her other half some credit:

"I have an amazing, amazing support system in my house, meaning my husband who's incredible!"

Too sweet!

Mila also dished on her marriage to her former costar, saying that they know everything about each other:

While Blake Lively has yet to address she's pregnant with baby number two, even despite displaying a growing baby bump, the actress got into the topic of motherhood in Marie Claire UK's August issue!

Snagging yet another cover this summer, The Shallows starlet opened up for the magazine again talking about raising a daughter with Ryan Reynolds.

Dishing on the importance of keeping James' life private, Blake shared:

"My husband and I chose a profession and a side effect of that is your personal life is public. Our child hasn't had the opportunity to choose whether or not she wants her personal life to be public or not. So in order to give her as much normality as possible, we want her to have a childhood like we had. So we can't really throw her into the lion's den that is LA, not that we really want to."

The little one-year-old must have the most normal life ever… not that she knows it yet!

Of course with another baby on the way, it will be interesting to see if any of that changes for the adorable family.

But at least for Blake, while she'll be a momma to two, motherhood won't be any different. The 28-year-old admitted:
