My Little Fashion Blog

Both Alison Williams and Zooey Deschanel are featured on the cover of Elle Magazine this month in the Febuary 2014 addition.

 

Allison Williams is wearing a dress by Anthony Vaccarello.

 

Allison on why she tends to wear high-end, American designers on the red carpet: “I wanted to establish a baseline: Here’s what I look like, I have long brown hair, I wear this kind of dress, this is the deal. You can count on it! Look at Jennifer Aniston: she’s America’s sweetheart for a reason. You know what she’s going to look like when she shows up to something, and there’s something so comfortable in that.”

 

On where she wants her career to go: “I want to play a villain. I want to play a romantic heroine. I want to play someone who’s on heroin. There’s nothing I don’t want to do. I want to play a guy at some point. I’ll gain 100 pounds, I’ll cut my hair off, I’ll do whatever. I’m not precious about any of it.”

 

Zooey Deschanel is wearing a dress by Valentino.

 

Zooey on how growing up in Hollywood affected her: “Definitely none of the kids I grew up with would have ever thought, Zooey will be on television and have her own show. I wasn’t the world’s most popular child, which gave me built-in tenacity. Nothing has ever come easy for me, and I think that’s a really good thing. I learned at an early age that you have to work hard for what you get.”

 

On the idea that girliness connotes weakness and how it comes up less and less: “There has been a shift. I really have stood up for myself on multiple platforms. It’s sort of the grown-up version of middle-school nastiness, and I’m just like, come on. If there’s one thing I’d like to graduate from, it’s girl-on-girl hate. I don’t believe in it.”
