So while the 25-year-old’s entire spread looks like a fashion campaign, their styling really makes it hard to hate on it! So flawless, and clearly this starlet knows what she’s doing.
But inside the mag is where it gets really interesting!
Talking about Hollywood’s body standards, she dished:
“I would like us to make a new normal-body type. Everybody says, ‘We love that there is somebody with a normal body!’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t feel like I have a normal body.’ I do Pilates every day. I eat, but I work out a lot more than a normal person. I think we’ve gotten so used to underweight that when you are a normal weight it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s curvy.’ Which is crazy. The bare minimum, just for me, would be to up the ante. At least so I don’t feel like the fattest one.”
Now that’s an honest response!
And tackling another controversial topic right now, Jenn also brought up the word “feminism.” So is she for it??
“I don’t know why that word is so scary to people; it shouldn’t be, because it just means equality. If we are moving forward in a society, you are feeling stronger as a woman, and you want to be taken more seriously. You don’t have to take away the wonderful traits that come with being a woman: We are sensitive. We are pleasers. We’re empathetic. All those things that can keep you from asking for what you want or making mistakes.”
Considering so many stars have spoken against the word as if it doesn’t mean gender equality, it’s refreshing to hear her defend being a feminist.
That’s not all she has to say though! Read on for even more HIGHlights from the starlet’s interview (below)…
On whether she’s having “frisson” with anyone at the moment, aka feeling excited in terms of dating someone: “There’s frisson all over my face. I can’t! Anything I say about boys gets picked up.”
On whether she has a type: “I don’t think so because patterns are the work of the devil. If I think about all of my ex-boyfriends, they are all so uncomparable.”
On being intimidating: “I can feel people sometimes are intimidated by me, but I try to do the best I can to offset that,” she says. “There is zero reason to be intimidated by me. At all. But I also understand it.”
On her essay in Lena Dunham‘s Lenny Letter about the gender pay gap: “I had no idea it was going to blow up like that. And I obviously only absorbed the negative. I didn’t pay any attention to the positive feedback. My parents get really upset. They do not like me speaking out about anything political because it’s hard to see your kid take criticism. But, really, people who criticized it are people who think women should not be paid the same as men. So I don’t really care what those people think… I try not to be too sensitive to the ‘poor rich girl’ jokes. I was saying my reality is absolutely fabulous, but it is not the reality of a lot of women in America. That’s what I’m talking about.”
On being a people pleaser: “There’s nothing wrong with being a pleaser if you’re smart about it. As long as you’re getting what’s fair. You know, I want my employers to be happy. I want to please anyone I’m working for as long as they pay me the appropriate amount. I’ll make them as happy as they want.”
On being more interested in fashion: “I think I started paying attention to fashion as soon as paparazzi started happening a few years ago. I was not ready. I was like, ‘What do I wear?’ I had to start paying attention. When I turned 25 it got easier because I know, ‘This is you, this is not you.'”
As for the last item she bought for herself?: A “pair of earrings. I don’t have a boyfriend, so I have to do that shit on my own.”
On landing a gig with Dior: “I could not believe it when they signed me [to be in their campaigns]. They fly me to Paris and get me hotel rooms, and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? You don’t have to be so nice!’ I couldn’t renew my contract quickly enough.”
And lastly, on her Golden Globes dress: “That was my plan-B dress. Plan A was a dress that I couldn’t wear because awards season is synced with my menstrual cycle, and it has been for years… It was loose at the front. And I didn’t have to worry about sucking anything in. The other dress was really tight, and I’m not going to suck in my uterus. I don’t have to do that.”
It feels like we learned so much about her!
