The May issue of Marie Claire is FIRE!
Not only did the glossy score Kylie Jenner as one of their “Fresh Faces”, but also Zendaya, Ellie Goulding, Hailey Baldwin, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw!
And as you can see, they each got their very own covers for the special issue, though the trio (pictured above) were the ones to catch our eye.

Kylizzle dressed in a side-boob barin’ frock for the front page, as Z took the plunge in a printed piece, and Ellie had us seeing stars!
So fierce.
But possibly even better than their beautiful covers, were the HIGHlights from their interviews! Read on for some of the best bits…
Kylie on her influence, and thinking she started the wig trend: “I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian West] just used my wig guy last night…I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow.”
Kylie on posting racy pics to social media: “When I post sexy photos, I always regret it. Like, Oh my God, everyone is seeing my body. I get really weird about it.”
Zendaya on her Disney return: “A big reason why I wanted to come back to Disney is because I saw a lack of diversity on the channel. To see a black family, to see a young girl with these adorable Afro puffs├óΓé¼┬ªlittle things like that are so important.”
Zendaya on taking NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. as her date to the Grammys after-party with her dad: “If a guy can handle my dad the first time, then he’s worth giving my time to. If he can’t, then I might as well not waste my time. Just because they’re in the NFL doesn’t mean they get a pass.”
Hailey on that time she dated Justin Bieber: “I don’t want attention out of dating somebody. Texts started coming through, crazy phone calls…it’s hard to date somebody in this industry. You have to have really thick skin and be very strong. You have to focus on the person and nothing else.”
Ellie on being a star: “I don’t feel like I’m a very good pop star. I can be painfully shy, and I don’t really talk much between songs. I don’t feel like I’m a natural performer.”
Gugu speaking on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith calling out the lack of diversity at the Oscars: “[They took] A very brave stand… That’s the end of the race. The root of it is about having many, many stories told and having the people who hold he purse strings tell diverse and inclusive stories. It’s got to go back to how films get green-lit in the first place.”
Gugu on staying off of social media: “Call me old-fashioned, but if there were ever a massive volcanic eruption like there was in Pompeii and, hundreds of years later, people looked at us as a species with our selfie sticks, they would think, God were we the most narcissistic culture ever?”
And get a peek at Gugu and Hailey’s covers, as well as all five ladies’ spreads in the gallery (above)!
