Natalie!!!
I have missed seeing her on covers. And in films, really. Seems like she's a step back over the past couple of years.
She's looking more mature on this cover, more into her age - less baby-faced. It's a good look on her. She's utterly beautiful! Reminding me of Rachel Weiss a bit here.
I'm not sure what made me want to poke my eyes out more, the styling of this editorial or the pretentious interview.
Do you remember how in the ’90s there was this sort of “sad girl chic”? Like “Reviving Ophelia” and Fiona Apple, and just a lot of sad, beautiful girls. And it felt like being deep or interesting or even attractive was being a little sullen, to use Ms. Apple’s word (whom I love by the way). And then living in France, I got the same ’90s sense, that there’s a beauty there culturally associated with sadness.
