EMMA STONE is quite literally ‘out-of-this-world’ for the September cover of Interview Magazine, which is dubbed “The Fashion Issue”. Mikael Jansson photographed the “Gangster Squad” actress in a series of nightclub and alleyway locations that look like they are set in the 1980s — in outer space! Seriously, this editorial is trippy and fabulous!
Karl Templer styled Emma in various fierce threads from the Fall/Winter 2012 runways by Christopher Kane, Lanvin, Versace, Balenciaga, Haider Ackermann and YSL, while hairstylist Paul Hanlon gave her an extraterrestrial-inspired sleek hairstyle to compliment her intense smoky eyes — courtesy of makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo.
Director and producer Cameron Crowe interviewed Emma for the issue, where she opened up about all of her acting gigs, her first heartbreak, her public image, her likes and dislikes — and much, much more.
Her thoughts on expressing herself in interviews: “In general I get nervous when I do print interviews because I know that whatever I say is going to be shown through the lens of whomever I’m talking to. So I’ve read a lot of different versions of myself—and all of them are true because it’s all opinion and they’re as accurate as it can ever be. But I don’t think that I’ve been deft at hiding parts of my personality. I have not mentioned parts of my life, for sure—although I have talked about my childhood more now and anxiety and that side of myself. I don’t think that people would expect that I would have panic attacks . . . Or I don’t know if they would, because I don’t know what people expect of me. I have no idea.”
On filming her new movie, “Gangster Squad”: Working with Sean [Penn] was pretty cool. There was a moment when Sean did an impression of the guy he was in jail next to, and then I realized I was working with Sean Penn, because he became the guy he was in jail next to. You hear people do a voice, but his entire body . . . He turned into this terrifying guy with this tiny voice who was talking about his cat. I was like, “Holy sh-t. This guy is touched by something.”
The fashion is incredibly fierce, which goes perfectly with Emma’s otherworldly look.
I’m totally obsessed with this editorial, so I encourage you to check it out below!
