net-a-porterLane, 21, was cast in indie hit American Honey – her debut – after being scouted on a beach; she’s now a darling of both the film and fashion worlds. See her next in The Miseducation of Cameron Post, with Chloë Grace Moretz.
You Found Fame Overnight. How Did You Prepare?
I don’t think you can. I surround myself with a lot of good people, I try to embrace everything and remember I’m so blessed.
What Keeps You Grounded?
My brother [Sergio], Chloë [Grace Moretz] and Riley [Keough]. It’s good to meet other people in this [industry] who know that all that glitters isn’t gold.
Have You Always Wanted To Be An Actress?
Not really. I’m from Texas – you don’t think about this kind of life there. I watched movies and thought, “I could push that energy through a camera lens,” but I didn’t think of it as acting. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else.
What Have You Learned About Yourself?
I will work my *** off but I’m not going to change who I am to make the public happy. If you want me, I’m going to do it my way. I think it’s a blessing I didn’t grow up in this industry. I came to it when I felt very sure of who I was.
What Are The Best And Worst Parts Of Hollywood?
Being part of projects that make a difference. The worst bit is people forgetting you’re a human being.
What’s Been Your Most ‘hollywood’ Moment So Far?
In the bathroom at the Met Gala. My friend Cara [Delevingne] was holding up my dress while I peed and in walks Mary J. Blige. She said, “What’s up?” I was like, “I love your music!”
What’s Exciting In The Industry Right Now?
More strong female leads, where the woman isn’t just the hot girl or the guy is rescuing her.
What Do You Want Your Imdb Bio To Say In 20 Years’ Time?
“She did that s*** and kept her soul.”
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is out this fall
RuPaul, Lupita Nyong’o, and Naomi Campbell Star in Pirelli’s 2018 Calendar, Alice in Wonderland Reimagined with an All-Black Cast
Alice of Alice in Wonderland has been reimagined many times over—actors like Natalie Gregory, Mia Wasikowska, and Tina Majorino have all taken a stab at the Lewis Carroll heroine—but rarely is she depicted as anything other than the pale, blonde English rose most famously depicted in the Disney animated film.
But that changes with the 2018 Pirelli Calendar, photographed by fashion photographer Tim Walker, styled by Edward Enninful, editor of British Vogue and the former fashion director of W, and cast by Piergiorgio Del Moro. For this year’s calendar, a star-studded product once best-known for its highbrow pin-ups, Enninful and Walker recruited a cast of actors, musicians, and models of color to star in their reimagining of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Newcomer Duckie Thot plays the title role of Alice, swaddled in lace and silk in powdery colors. She’s surrounded by Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o as the Dormouse, model Slick Woods as the Mad Hatter, actress Sasha Lane as the Mad March Hare, RuPaul as the Queen of Hearts and Djimon Hounsou as her king, and model Adwoa Aboah as Tweedledee—and that’s just the start. (Pause for a breath.) Model and artist Wilson Oryema, actor and comedian Whoopi Goldberg, rappers Lil Yachty and P. Diddy, lawyer and model Thando Hopa, and supermodel Naomi Campbell also feature in the images—a veritable cross-section of the gorgeous, groundbreaking artists of color, across generations and national borders, working today.
