"I'm in total Betty Crocker mode right now!"
On any given day in New York, it's not unusual to spot dozens of tourist buses cruising around midtown. But this morning was different, because we rode the bright red double-decker with a very special guest. Twilight's Ashley Greene was there to unveil her DKNY Jeans Billboard, shot by high fashion photo duo Inez and Vinoodh. In between Starbucks pit stops, the 25-year-old NYLON cover girl filled us in on her baking hobby, holiday plans, and why her closet is overflowing with shoes.
How early did you have to wake up this morning?
I woke up at 7, so it wasn't too bad. It's funny, I actually just woke up and randomly decided to bake cookies this morning!
Wow, that's impressive.
I'm preparing for my family to come visit me for the holidays, and I'm starting to realize that it's hard to get ready, just between the cooking and the prep and all that. So I'm in total Betty Crocker mode right now [laughing]. I felt like a little kid, I was like, "cookies for breakfast!"
So you're going to have a New York Christmas this year?
Yep, I moved here a few months ago because I'm working here right now. I wish it would be a white Christmas, but I don't think that's going to happen.
How was it doing your DKNY Jeans ad with Inez and Vinoodh? Were you nervous?
I wasn't nervous once I got there because they made me feel so comfortable and made the shoot fun. They showed me the pictures as we were taking them, and I was just like, "how do you guys do this?" It's like they're a well-oiled machine because there's two of them.
Who do you look to for fashion inspiration?
On the carpet I really like Gwyneth Paltrow because her style is pretty similar to mine. In everyday life, I really like Rachel Bilson's style. She always looks really well put together, but in an effortless kind of way, like she's just grabbed the clothes out of her closet.
What's one item in your closet that's been there forever?
Hm... I have this pair of jeans from seven years ago that I haven't been able to get rid of. Shoes are also hard for me to throw out, because I never know what I'm going to need! So it's always overwhelming for me to try to clean out my closet [laughing].

usmagazineExclusive: NEW PIC: Ashley Greene's Second Spring 2012 DKNY Ad Revealed!
![]()
Last month, DKNY unveiled Ashley Greene's DKNY Jeans billboard over Times Square in NYC. The black-and-white ad showed her in hip-hugging flares and a tight, low-cut white tank top.
And now, the star's campaign photo for DKNY has been revealed -- in color -- where she is dressed in a much edgier and fashion-forward ensemble.
Shot by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and styled by Melanie Ward, the 24-year-old actress poses high above The Big Apple on the roof of the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel, clad in a black and green 3/4 sleeve blazer, coordinating tailored trousers and towering black wedges.
"I love wedges right now," the star told Us Weekly in NYC December 22. "They're really comfortable and, especially when you're running around New York, it's nice to have a shoe that you can walk in."

She’s on top of the world — or, at least, on top of Manhattan. Ashley Greene strikes several sexy poses from atop New York’s famed Waldorf Astoria Hotel in high-fashion photos for DKNY’s spring 2012 campaign.
The Twilight star, shot by photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, takes DKNY and DKNY Jeans “to new heights for spring,” according to a release, which invites fans to look “at New York City — where there is always something new to discover — and DKNY from a new perspective, high above the city streets.”
When Greene’s first DKNY Jeans ad — a billboard in New York’s Times Square — debuted in December, the actress called it “an extension of me,” adding that she found the images to be “edgy and a little rockstar-ish.”
“I immediately said yes,” she said about the offer to endorse them. “[I was] so excited.”
Greene was named the latest face of DKNY and DKNY Jeans in October. “I’ve always loved Donna Karan’s creations,” she said in a release. “To be a part of the brands’ message is incredibly exciting because it feels like such an organic fit. It’s easy to talk about how these clothes work for my lifestyle.” Tell us: What do you think of Greene’s DKNY ads?
The bangs really suit her and the pink is a lovely contrast against the New York skyline.
