Jennifer Lawrence is taking on a new role — entrepreneur. The Hollywood actress has launched her own haircare brand, Mes.

The star discussed the launch in an interview with The Cut, where she also opened up about her personal experiences, talked about motherhood, and reflected on how her attitude toward her appearance has changed.

Lawrence said that working on her own brand gave her a familiar sense of creative excitement — the same feeling she experiences on a film set.

«When you create something, whether it’s a movie or a product, there’s this incredible energy that you can’t stop. I felt the same electric charge that I feel when I’m working on a role», Jennifer explained.

The interview also touched on a subject that often attracts considerable attention — cosmetic surgery. Lawrence revealed that she underwent breast augmentation after the birth of her second child. According to the actress, her body recovered relatively quickly after her first pregnancy, but things were different after her second delivery: «Nothing went back into place.»

Her thoughts about possible changes to her appearance don’t end there. Jennifer admitted that she has considered getting a facelift, while for now she sticks to small amounts of Botox. She has decided against fillers because, in her view, the results can look too obvious on camera. She also wants to maintain a natural appearance, as she often plays characters who cannot afford expensive cosmetic procedures.

Lawrence also said she would like to have her buccal fat removed but worries that the change would be immediately noticeable. She sums up her desire to look her best in a simple phrase: «I want to be a hot mom.»

The actress expanded on this idea while discussing everyday life with her children. She wants to look as though she has everything under control, even when the reality is quite the opposite.

«When I drop my kid off at school, I want to look like a woman who has everything under control, even if I’ve just woken up and, in reality, have absolutely nothing under control», Jennifer shared.

Returning to Mes, the star revealed that she worked with a scientific company to develop the brand’s first product line. The collection includes three products: a repairing hair mask, a styling serum, and a volumizing spray.

Lawrence is not yet ready to measure Mes’s future success in concrete figures. She admitted that she has no clear idea of the financial targets the brand would need to reach for her to consider the venture a success.

«If someone held a gun to my head and asked, “What numbers does Mes need to hit to be considered successful?”, I would have absolutely no idea. Numbers just don’t stick in my head. I’m silly, but sweet!», the actress joked.

American actress and political activist Susan Sarandon stars in a new issue of the Spanish magazine S Moda, titled «The Heart of an Activist». The Hollywood star was photographed by Ukrainian photographer Yulia Gorbachenko.

In the images, the 80-year-old Sarandon appears in understated, elegant looks. In the accompanying interview, she reflects on her personal principles, her outlook on life, her career and the importance of personal freedom.

Sarandon has never been one to hide her views and speaks openly in support of the causes she believes in. Her political stance has sparked controversy on more than one occasion, but she has no intention of abandoning her convictions just to win other people’s approval.

«Sometimes people call me a communist. I think some people use that word to suggest that someone isn’t quite right in the head», she remarked wryly.

Sarandon was recently arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest outside the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Her convictions also influence the film projects she chooses. She is drawn to stories that move audiences, encourage them to think or invite them to see familiar things from a different perspective.

«When I read a script, I want it to move me. It’s important to me that the character is someone I haven’t played before. It’s great when a project has a well-respected director behind it, but sometimes they’re newcomers. It’s nice when you can get paid for the work, but sometimes that isn’t possible», the actress explained.

Sarandon has appeared in more than 100 films, including Hollywood hits such as «The Client» and «While You Were Sleeping», the cult classic «The Witches of Eastwick» and «Thelma & Louise», a film that became a symbol of female freedom and independence. She won an Academy Award for her performance in the drama «Dead Man Walking».

Now, at 80, Sarandon has no plans to slow down. This year, the Spanish Film Academy honoured her career with the International Goya Award. In September, she also presented her film «The Echo Chamber» at the Venice Film Festival.

Yet Sarandon seems to measure her greatest achievements not by the awards she has received, but by her ability to live in accordance with her own principles. She admitted that she does not try to avoid mistakes. On the contrary, she sees them as an essential part of gaining experience and growing as a person.

«Make mistakes, big mistakes, but make them faster. You know instinctively when something is toxic, when you’re not being true to yourself, when you’re betraying yourself. Listen to that feeling, but don’t spend two years on it. You can learn the lesson in about four months. I’m always giving everyone far too many chances myself», the actress shared.

She also revealed that she had recently discussed the subject with her grandchildren. Sarandon wants to live her life in such a way that, when the time comes, she will not feel she has left anything unfulfilled or unsaid.

«I was talking to my grandchildren recently, and I told them that I want to leave this world having used up every last drop of myself. Holding nothing back. As athletes say, give it everything you’ve got. Just live in the here and now», she emphasised.

Jenna Ortega graces the cover of the November issue of American Vogue. The actress was photographed by legendary photographer Sylvester Makó, who recently captured Gigi Hadid, Hunter Schafer and other stars in his distinctive style.

In the photographs, the actress, best known to audiences for her gothic portrayal of Wednesday, reveals a very different side of her personality. Tabitha Simmons was responsible for styling the shoot, selecting looks from Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Miu Miu and Schiaparelli.

At just 24, Jenna Ortega has already become one of the most recognisable young actresses of her generation. Her role as Wednesday Addams in the hit series made her famous worldwide and established her image as a dark, sharp-witted girl. However, Ortega does not want her career to be defined by a single character.

In the interview, the actress spoke candidly about her desire to explore different roles, living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the challenges of early fame and her growing need to slow down.

Following the success of «Wednesday», Ortega has increasingly gravitated towards projects that allow her to move beyond her familiar image. One such project is the film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel «Klara and the Sun», directed by Taika Waititi. In the film, Ortega plays an artificial companion designed to support a child.

Her new character is fundamentally different from Wednesday: she is open, emotional and genuinely curious about understanding the world around her. For the actress, the role is an opportunity to showcase another side of her talent and prove that she can convincingly portray more than just dark characters.

Ortega is drawn to unconventional stories and roles that demand her full commitment. She is willing to learn new skills for her work: she has taken fencing lessons, learned archery and is preparing to develop her gymnastics skills for an upcoming film.

«I think I understand myself and what I need for my work a little better now», the star said.

Ortega’s interests extend far beyond acting.

«I would love to direct one day, but only when I feel I truly have something to say. I don’t want to rush into it too soon», she explained.

Jenna first dreamed of becoming an actress at the age of six. She was inspired by Dakota Fanning’s performance in the film «Man on Fire». After watching it, she began persuading her parents to let her audition for roles.

At 12, Ortega landed the lead role in the Disney Channel series «Harley in Between».

Over the years, however, her perspective on entering the industry at such a young age has changed. Today, Jenna is not sure she would recommend that other children follow the same path. Work consumed so much of her time and energy that there was barely any room left for a normal childhood.

«I don’t think I would let anyone start that young», she admitted.

When «Wednesday» became a worldwide phenomenon in 2022, Jenna herself had no idea how to navigate her new reality. Strangers recognised her on the street, children stopped her to talk, and her face appeared on T-shirts and souvenirs.

«Essentially, nobody explained to you how to deal with any of it», the actress recalled.

Today, she believes that children who dream of pursuing acting should not limit their development to the film set. Having their own interests, making new friends and gaining a wide range of life experiences helps them better understand people and create believable characters.

The actress also speaks openly about her anxieties and the obsessive-compulsive disorder she has lived with since childhood.

She first noticed, at around seven years old, that she thought differently and perceived the world differently from other people. Back then, Jenna would wake up before her siblings to perform certain actions in a very specific order.

«I had to smooth out my bedsheet in a particular way, open a drawer and brush my hair slowly», she recalls.

Over time, these rituals became a regular part of her daily life. For example, the actress repeats the phrase «Take care of yourself» a set number of times, enters a film set with her left foot first or holds her breath while counting to 71.

Although Ortega speaks openly about her mental health, she prefers to keep her private life out of the public eye. She is reluctant to answer questions about romantic relationships and has no intention of making that part of her life public.

«I don’t think I’ll ever make that part of my life, my personal life, public», the actress explained.

Ortega not only keeps her private life at a distance from public scrutiny but also tries to avoid public judgement of her work. She does not watch her own films, read reviews or follow box-office figures.

«I think that could send me into some kind of psychotic state», Ortega remarked. What matters far more to her is how she feels about a project and understanding why she chose to take on a particular role in the first place.

These days, the actress wants to make more time for herself and stop accepting new projects simply to keep herself constantly busy. She wants to work with people who inspire her and tell stories she would genuinely enjoy watching on screen.

«I’d like to slow down a little», Jenna said.

That does not mean she intends to turn down new opportunities. Her plans include studying abroad and exploring music composition, photography and theatre. For Ortega, slowing down does not mean standing still. It means finally being able to set the pace of her own life.

Hollywood star Sharon Stone is the cover star of a special issue of ELLE España celebrating the magazine’s 40th anniversary. The 68-year-old actress graces the cover of the celebratory «Red Issue» wearing a striking red Gucci dress with a thigh-high slit and a decorative bow, recreating the iconic crossed-leg pose from the legendary film «Basic Instinct».

For the photoshoot, the star also wore designs by Saint Laurent, Dior, Schiaparelli, Silvia Tcherassi and other fashion houses.

In the accompanying interview, the actress spoke candidly about raising her three adopted sons and recovering from a stroke that fundamentally changed her life. She also shared her thoughts on ageing and learning to accept yourself.

Twenty-five years ago, Sharon Stone suffered a brain haemorrhage and a stroke. The consequences were so severe that she had to relearn how to walk, speak and read. Her recovery was an immense challenge, not only for her health but also for her career.

After her illness, professional opportunities became scarce, and she had to rebuild her life almost from scratch. Stone admitted that for a long time, she tried to prove her worth, as though she needed to make up for the fact that she had become ill.

«I did everything I was allowed to do, as though I had to atone for getting sick», she recalled.

The actress also highlighted how often people underestimate the effects of illnesses that are not always visible from the outside. Even decades after her stroke, she continues to experience seizures and migraines, which can be exacerbated by stress. Despite these ongoing health challenges, Stone has returned to work, taken on new film projects and continued to find the energy to pursue her creative interests.

Sharon Stone believes that society still struggles to accept women who combine beauty, intelligence, professional success and independence. In her view, an attractive appearance often leads people to underestimate a woman’s intellectual abilities and emotional depth.

«Society still struggles to accept that a woman can be beautiful, intelligent, kind, funny, a mother and, at the same time, the person supporting her family», the actress said.

Stone believes that women should not have to choose between professional achievement, motherhood and their individuality to fit someone else’s definition of success. These different aspects of life can coexist without having to come at the expense of one another.

Sharon Stone is raising three adopted sons and revealed that she decided to have no biological children when she was still a teenager. For her, motherhood is not just about passing on her own experiences to her children but also about having the opportunity to learn from them.

«At 14, I decided I wouldn’t have biological children. I consciously chose adoption so that I could learn from my three sons», the actress shared.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Sharon Stone has no intention of slowing down. She continues to work on film projects, pursues her passion for painting and is preparing for an art exhibition in Prague.

Art has become another means of self-expression for her — a space where she can create without having to meet other people’s expectations. Unlike the film industry, painting does not require producers’ approval, finished scripts or substantial budgets.

The actress also had a message for women aged 60 and over. She encouraged them not to see age as a reason to give up on their desires and ambitions.

«I want to remind them that everything is still possible, and of how important it is to feel alive and be present in the moment», Stone said.

For her, maturity is not about reaching the end of a particular chapter in life. Instead, it offers an opportunity to keep discovering who you are, trying new things and finding meaning in what genuinely brings you joy.

The past few years have also been difficult for the actress because of personal losses. Following the deaths of her mother, Dorothy, and her older brother, Mike, she became even more aware of how important it is to cherish the people who remain by your side.

Despite the difficult periods she has endured, Stone strives to maintain her optimism and recognise possibilities even when, at first glance, there seem to be very few left. She compares life to a glass that can always be filled again, even after it has been emptied.

«I’ve always been someone who sees the glass as half full. But even an empty glass can hold something good. You can always fill it again, can’t you? Sometimes, that’s exactly what you need to start all over again», the star concluded.

«Riverdale» star Lili Reinhart is the cover star of the October issue of «Glamour Germany». The 30-year-old actress opens up about unconditional love, painful experiences from past relationships, her struggle with depression and the pressure society places on women.

For the photoshoot, she wore looks by Dior, Rotate, Chloé, Gucci, Loewe, Versace, Fendi and Prada, accessorized with jewelry by Bvlgari. The shoot was photographed by Eileen Jordan, with styling by Denise Schneider.

In the interview, the actress revealed that, for the first time, she feels truly safe with her boyfriend, Jack Martin. She also explained why she no longer reads comments about her appearance, how she has learned to embrace her body and why she no longer wants to shape her life around other people’s expectations.

Lili learned early on what it meant to live under constant public scrutiny. At 19, she landed the role of Betty Cooper in «Riverdale», and just a year later, she had become famous far beyond the United States.

Today, the actress is more selective about what she shares with the public and what she chooses to keep private. This shift has been particularly evident in her personal life. After relationships in which she lacked emotional intimacy and a sense of security, Reinhart met Jack Martin.

She says it took several years to learn how to feel at ease in a new relationship. Her past experiences had left her constantly anticipating something bad and questioning her partner’s feelings. Now, she responds differently.

«I finally feel completely safe. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. My boyfriend, Jack, has shown me what unconditional love means for the first time in my life», Lili said.

Social media has also been a challenge for the actress. At first, Reinhart took criticism of her appearance, behavior and acting personally. She tried to defend herself and respond to people who insulted her. Over time, however, she realized that these arguments only drained her energy and pulled her into an endless cycle of frustration and anger.

«The internet isn’t going to change just because I’m angry. If I get caught up in it, I’m only hurting myself», she explained.

Now, Lili deliberately avoids posts about herself. She even asks her friends and loved ones not to send her posts discussing her appearance.

Another major topic in the interview is the series of health problems that have significantly affected Reinhart’s life in recent years. The actress says that for roughly six years, she received a new diagnosis almost every year. These included interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, adenomyosis and mast cell activation syndrome. Before that, she had also dealt with the effects of black mold exposure, an intestinal infection and problems with her insulin levels.

Against this backdrop of health issues, Lili developed alopecia, and her weight fluctuated considerably. During the filming of «Riverdale», she was not always able to fit into the clothes prepared for costume fittings.

«I felt as though I had to apologize for my body», she recalled.

Reinhart is now exercising again and feels stronger. She is proud of her body not because of a particular number on the scale, but because, after a prolonged period of physical weakness, she is gradually returning to an active life.

In the interview, the actress also addressed female independence and double standards. She is frustrated that women’s appearance, achievements and even their right to express an opinion are still so often judged through the lens of their relationships with men.

«Why can’t a woman simply exist without a man being part of her story?» Reinhart asked.

She emphasized that society still frequently sends women the message that their worth depends on how much men like them and whether their romantic lives are going well.

Reinhart also rejects the idea that women should be accommodating, restrained and constantly concerned with meeting other people’s expectations.

In her view, women should not have to continually prove that they deserve respect or conform to someone else’s ideas about how they should look, behave or approach relationships.

Another important subject of the conversation was mental health. Lili speaks openly about depression and anxiety. In the past, she viewed her condition as something permanent — something she would have to live with for the rest of her life. Her outlook on the future has since changed.

«I used to think, “I’ll always be depressed, and that’s okay.” But now I understand that I can make decisions and change my life», the actress said.

Recently, Reinhart has become interested in neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change and form new neural connections. Working with a specialist is helping her better understand her own traumatic experiences and familiar behavioral patterns.

According to the actress, these changes have already influenced the way she sees life. She has learned to experience joy again — something that once seemed almost impossible to reach.

«In my twenties, I barely believed I would ever be happy. Now I look forward with hope not only to my thirties, but to the rest of my life», Reinhart admitted.

Reflecting on the decade ahead, the star shared that she would like to become a mother one day. For now, however, she does not feel ready to take that step and has no intention of rushing into it.

«I definitely see myself becoming a mother, but closer to the end of my thirties. I don’t want children right now», the actress said.

Jessica Chastain is the cover star of the October issue of «Porter Magazine». The 49-year-old actress spoke about filming the horror movie «Other Mommy», female strength, motherhood, her work as a producer and the right to say what you really think — even when it may not be what others want to hear.

For the photoshoot, Chastain wore looks by Valentino Garavani, Anna Sui, Zimmermann and other brands. The shoot was photographed by Cobi Arner, with styling by Carolina Orrico.

For the Oscar-winning actress, horror has long been more than a genre built around monsters and jump scares. Chastain sees it as a space where female characters can be strong and aggressive, without waiting for someone to come and save them.

«I love scaring people. It’s kind of my feminist dream», the actress admitted.

In «Other Mommy», Jessica plays a mother trying to protect her eight-year-old daughter, as well as a terrifying creature that takes on her appearance. According to the star, she was particularly drawn to the idea of contrasting maternal care with a darker, almost predatory side of motherhood.

«The most dangerous animal in the world is a mother. There is an incredible ferocity in maternal instinct, and I really like that», she said.

Chastain also rejects the idea that motherhood must necessarily be an entirely joyful, fulfilling and grateful experience. That is precisely why she was interested in portraying its less comfortable side on screen.

«I love challenging the expectation that women are supposed to be grateful for everything. And that applies to motherhood, too», the actress explained.

Chastain also revealed that she is now much more conscious of the personal cost of her work. Her experience as a producer has changed the way she approaches choosing projects: the script is no longer the only consideration — the conditions in which she will be working matter just as much. In particular, Chastain tries to avoid projects that involve a large number of night shoots.

After working through the night, the actress finds it difficult to return to a normal routine, she explained. So before taking on a new project, she now asks herself a simple question: will working on it be a healthy experience for me? She also considers whether she will be surrounded by people who inspire her, whether the project will push her out of her comfort zone and whether it has the potential to challenge society.

Her work as a producer has given her even more control over which stories make it to the screen. One example is the series «The Savant», in which Chastain plays an undercover specialist who takes on online hate groups.

The project’s premiere was postponed, and the actress publicly said that she believed the decision was a mistake. For her, the situation became an important reminder that being grateful for the opportunity to work does not mean having to remain silent.

«I really needed to say publicly that I thought it was a mistake. I realised that it’s okay to be honest. You can speak honestly while still being kind and respectful. You can remain true to yourself without being afraid that you’ll never get another job because of it», Chastain said.

When it comes to her own family, Jessica continues to maintain firm boundaries. Throughout her career, she has kept her private life away from the spotlight and has no plans to change that.

«That is the best decision I have ever made when it comes to this industry — maintaining that boundary», the actress stressed.

At the same time, Chastain continues her education. She is pursuing a Master of Public Administration at Harvard Kennedy School, although her demanding work schedule has led her to take an academic leave for the time being.

«I still feel like a perpetual student», she admitted.

Angelina Jolie is the cover star of the new issue of L’Officiel, appearing on four different covers of the magazine. In an intimate interview, the 51-year-old actress and filmmaker spoke about life after her children grew up, her new creative plans, her humanitarian work and her desire to travel the world more.

For the photoshoot, Jolie wore Fendi and Ferragamo, as well as pieces from her own creative project, Atelier Jolie. The photographs were taken by photographer Norman Jean Roy.

The actress admitted that she does not want to be tied to a single city. Now that her children are adults, she plans to spend more time outside the United States, expand Atelier Jolie into other countries and continue her work in Cambodia.

«I don’t really plan to have a permanent base. I would like my family to have a home — a place where the family photographs are kept and where you can do all those mom things. And then I want to live like a nomad for a while», the actress shared. She added that her plans include more travel, working «in the field», riding motorcycles and even flying airplanes.

«I’m not someone who takes a vacation, goes shopping or does anything like that», the actress said.

Jolie’s work as a filmmaker also took an important place in the conversation. In her film «Without Blood», she explores the consequences of war and the lives of people after a conflict has ended.

What interested her was not the violence itself, but what happens to a person afterward. For Jolie, it was important to portray the complicated period that follows a conflict and to talk about a pain that does not disappear simply because the fighting has stopped.

«The film is less about forgiveness and more about honesty», Jolie emphasized.

Her years of working in conflict zones have also profoundly shaped her worldview: «One of the ideas of the film is that we return to where we broke. I think that’s true for many people».

Speaking about her humanitarian work, the actress noted that her approach to helping others has changed over the years. While emergency assistance was once her main focus, she now wants to devote more attention to projects that help communities become self-sufficient.

«When I started, 40 million people had been forced to leave their homes. Now it’s 115 million. That affected me», she said.

Angelina admitted that the scale of the problems can sometimes leave her feeling powerless. That is why she wants to look not only for ways to help people here and now, but also for concrete solutions for the future.

Despite her desire to travel more and work around the world, family remains an important part of this new chapter in Jolie’s life.

The actress is proud that her six children have grown into independent people.

«They are definitely independent people. And that makes me very proud», she said. Jolie is now learning how to be a mother in a new way — supporting her children without trying to live their lives for them.

«You want to support this person who has a life separate from yours and so much potential in their own mind», the actress explained.

Sandra Bullock is the star of the September issue of Interview Magazine. For the accompanying photoshoot, the 62-year-old actress posed among theatrical sets created by renowned Hungarian photographer Sylvester Makó, with Lisa Jarvis overseeing the styling.

Alongside the shoot, the actress gave an intimate interview, conducted by her longtime friend Jennifer Aniston. Their conversation touched on Bullock’s four-year career hiatus, motherhood, Hollywood and her return to «Practical Magic».

Bullock’s most recent film — «The Lost City» — was released in 2022. Since then, the actress has largely stayed away from the big screen. Aniston joked that during that time, audiences might have thought Bullock had disappeared for an entire century.

Now she is back — and fittingly, it is with the sequel to «Practical Magic». The original film, in which Bullock played Sally Owens alongside Nicole Kidman, was not well received by critics when it was released. The actress recalled feeling deeply uncomfortable after the premiere because of the devastating reviews.

But everything changed over the years. The film found its audience and became a beloved story for several generations: «Mothers watched it with their daughters, and the daughters grew up and then watched it with their own daughters. It was completely unexpected», Bullock said.

Ultimately, it was the audience’s love for the film that made her consider returning for a sequel.

This time, «Practical Magic 2» carries a much more personal meaning for Bullock. She sees the film not simply as a return to familiar characters, but as an opportunity to say something important to her own daughter, Laila.

«I wanted to say something important because, to me, this is a love letter to Laila», Sandra confessed.

Bullock connects the story of her character with her own experience as a mother. She wanted to leave her adopted daughter a kind of personal message — one filled with apologies for the moments when she may have let her down, failed to find the right words or simply got something wrong.

«I wanted to give her a love letter with my “I’m sorrys”. If I’ve let her down somewhere, if I don’t know how to say the right words — I’m sorry», Sandra shared.

What frightens her most at the moment is watching her children grow up. «I just want to do the right thing, help her be as brave as she already is. And that scares the hell out of me», the actress admitted.

Motherhood has also changed Bullock’s attitude toward work. If her career once had the power to dictate her schedule, the opposite is true now.

«If the kids can’t be with me, I don’t go. Their schedule is more important than me telling another story. Period», she declared.

Sandra has also become increasingly aware of the day when her children will grow up and leave home.

Her son Louis is now 16 and a half: «I need to figure that out because kids are always supposed to leave», the actress said.

During their conversation, Aniston and Bullock also discussed some of her career decisions. At one point, the actress deliberately stepped away from romantic comedies, even though the genre had made her one of its biggest stars.

«The only time I consciously decided where my career needed to go was when I said, “I need to stop doing romantic comedies right now”, because I was getting so much criticism», she recalled.

After that, Bullock took on a dramatic role in «Crash», hoping to show audiences another side of her acting abilities.

Today, however, she sees things very differently. Sandra admitted that she has missed comedy and would like to work in the genre again.

Aniston noted that audiences also want to see a return to the romantic comedies that were so popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Bullock responded in her typically playful way: «Some people want to bring back sexiness. We’re bringing back humor».

Then she added: «Who needs sex? It’s too much work».

Bullock also opened up about why she is so protective of her private life. According to the actress, being private has been part of her nature since childhood.

«I was incredibly private from the time I was a child. I drove my mom crazy with it. It’s just part of my nature», she said.

Hollywood, Bullock believes, does not always leave people the right to privacy. This is especially difficult when there are people around who are willing to use personal information for money.

At the same time, Sandra wishes she could be less anxious and allow herself more freedom.

In her view, that is precisely why «Practical Magic 2» has arrived at the right moment. The story of two witch sisters offers an opportunity to explore not only magic, but also female strength, support and society’s fear of independent women.

When Aniston asked what had helped her remain in demand for so long, Sandra gave a simple answer: «Talent, time, the ability to say “no”».

Then she added one more thing — gratitude: «I know how lucky I am, and I know that this can all end very quickly», she said.

Today, Bullock does not want to make rigid plans for the future. She admits that she is tired and somewhat burned out, and wants to devote more time to life outside of work.

«Maybe I just need to stop for a little while and start communicating more outside of the work environment. I’m a little tired, a little burned out, but I’ve never been happier», the star confessed.

American actress Marcia Cross is the cover star of the September issue of L’Officiel Monaco. The 64-year-old «Desperate Housewives» star gave an open and candid interview in which she spoke about aging, her appearance and her most famous roles.

For the shoot, Cross wore couture looks by Dany Atrache, Charbel Karam and Abbas Harajli, choosing a striking Lena Erziak dress for the cover.

Titled «Marcia Cross: An American Icon in Paris», the shoot took place inside the legendary 19th-century Parisian mansion Hôtel de la Païva. The photographs were taken by Greg Alexander.

One of the central topics of the conversation was Bree Van de Kamp — her character from «Desperate Housewives», who tried to build a perfect life while hiding her own struggles and vulnerability behind an immaculate facade. According to Cross, it was precisely this contradiction that made Bree relatable to so many women.

«Perfectionists understood her and felt seen. Women who were desperately trying to create the impression that they had everything under control could also identify with her. Women who hid their secrets and vulnerabilities understood her, too», the actress said.

Following the success of «Desperate Housewives», Cross faced a problem familiar to many stars of iconic television shows: audiences and the industry became closely associated with her most famous characters.

«I was told twice that I was too iconic to play other roles and that I needed to prove to the people making the decisions that I was capable of doing so», Cross recalled.

Eventually, the actress decided to step away from that race. She admitted that she had grown tired of constantly having to prove who she really was beyond her best-known characters.

«I finally stopped worrying about having to first prove that I wasn’t crazy Kimberly, and then that I wasn’t perfect Bree», she said, referring to her iconic characters. «I don’t want to prove anything to anyone anymore. Those days are long gone», she added.

In another part of the interview, Marcia Cross spoke candidly about aging and her relationship with her appearance. The actress emphasized that every woman should be free to decide how she wants to look and whether cosmetic treatments or plastic surgery are right for her. In her view, such choices should not become a subject of public scrutiny.

Cross does not rule out turning to plastic surgery someday, but for now, preserving her individuality is more important to her.

«What really matters to me is continuing to look like me. I see my mother and my father in my face, and I don’t want to lose that. This face carries my history. I want to look like me», the actress said.

At the same time, Cross admitted that she was much harder on herself when she was younger. Now, when she looks back at old photographs, she wonders why she was unable to see her own beauty at the time.

«Now, looking back, I look at the photographs and think, “God, I was beautiful.” But at the time, I could never see it», she recalled.

As for her personal style, Cross revealed that she avoids white, black and prints, and most often wears navy blue, cotton T-shirts and the same pairs of jeans. At the same time, she dreams of a special capsule collection designed for red-haired women with sensitive skin.

«Sex and the City» star Sarah Jessica Parker is the face of the new issue of Vogue Brazil. The 61-year-old actress graces the cover in a delicate pale-yellow midi dress, paired with sandals featuring a floral appliqué. She is also the star of a campaign for Brazilian brand Arezzo titled «Obsessed with Shoes. In Every Scene».

In the interview, Parker spoke about her relationship with fashion, her love of shoes and her special connection to New York. The actress also looked back on her childhood and revealed that her mother played a defining role in shaping her sense of style.

«My mother had wonderful taste, and she taught us that style has nothing to do with money, but everything to do with curiosity, care and imagination», Sarah Jessica said.

She noted that she grew up in a large family where money was scarce. Buying a new pair of shoes was therefore far from a weekly occurrence. Each pair had to be chosen particularly carefully because it was expected to last a long time. According to the actress, that was when her special love of shoes began.

«I think that’s when my love of shoes began. Even as a child, I saw them as something that could transform», she admitted.

Parker believes that true style should not be confused with constantly chasing trends. In her view, fashion changes, but individuality remains.

«Style is much more personal than it is connected to fashion. Trends come and go, but the people we remember most dress in a way that reflects who they are», the actress said.

One particularly meaningful pair holds a special place in the star’s wardrobe — the shoes she chose for her own wedding. Rather than classic, statement-making shoes with very high heels, she opted for a more understated velvet design in a jade blue-green shade with a classic heel.

«They were personal, practical and quietly special — which is usually what I love most about shoes», the actress said.

At the same time, Sarah Jessica does not believe that shoes necessarily have to be extravagant. What matters most is that they complement the look and help a person express themselves — through personality, confidence or even a sense of humor.

Speaking about her career, the actress also reflected on New York — the city that has become an inseparable part of her personal and professional story. It was there that she worked on Arezzo’s new campaign, bringing together two things she is so often associated with — fashion and shoes.

«New York is such an important part of my life, both personally and professionally, and shoes have been a constant character in that story», Parker concluded.
