Its pretty rarefied real estate, and the women we select are people we really admire and believe are making an inter- esting contribution to the cultural conversation.

The notion that we would try to hide Kalings shape or eth- nicity is counter to everything we believe in. There was an- other picture of Mindy, in color, that was cropped right above her knees.

She looked good in it, but shed been shown like that before. At ELLE, we want our cover images to surprise, to reveal a side of someone that you might not have seen, and to convey that shes more than just a pretty face in a cute dress.

In the black-and-white photo, I thought that Mindy looked pow- erful, beautiful, potent, and sexy in the best sense of the word: When she looks at the camera, you see a woman whos alluring and in control, a woman whos not afraid of her own desires. As you can tell from the other covers on this page, weve run tight black-and-white shots of above, from left Jodie Foster, pop star Rita Ora, Shakira, Elle Fanning, Lady Gaga, and Carrie Underwood, among many others.

Not one of them complained that she felt cheated or somehow dismissed by our choice of photograph. Neither did Mindy. She tweeted that she loved it. It pains us all here at the magazine that anyone would accuse us of racism or weight bias. We show- case women we aspire to be: strong, sexy, smart, fun. That is my mission. Which brings us to Dakota Johnson, this months cover girl.

She is strong, sexy, smart, and really funny, according to everyone whos worked with herand soon to be very, very famous. After being cast in Fifty Shades of Grey as Anastasia, the prim counterpoint to sadistic business magnate Christian Grey, played by Calvin Klein underwear model Jamie Dor- nan, suddenly everyone wanted a piece of Dakota: a photo, an autograph, her hand in marriage. How do you handle some- thing like this? Going overnight from relative obscurity rela- tive being the operative word; her parents are Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, and her grandmother is Tippi Hedren to the most talked-about casting choice of the decade?

Writer Stephen Rodrick sat down with the star and found a young woman not only totally comfortable in her own skin but ready to handle whatever comes her way with good humor and aplomb. And more good news: Weve partnered with The Face, Oxygens modeling-competition show in which three super- mentorsNaomi Campbell, Anne V, and Lydia Hearsthelp our good friend Frdric Fekkai find the next face for his advertising campaign.

Carnaval, Red Hot Rio Try it on at opi. Call Model is wearing Next Stop She impressed photographer Michael Thompson with her chameleonic abilities, and writer Molly Young with her sharp sense of humor and unwavering opinions.

Last time I checked, Smalls told Young, the world is a multicultural place. Beauty is universal. These doors have to open. ELLE readers agree wholeheartedly: Proud feminist Marisa Meltzer described years of dieting in secret in The Last Feminist Taboo January , prompting readers to chime in on the hot debate of what keeping up appearances means for female empowerment: The isolation the diet stigma imposes on women is reason enough for feminists to want to abolish it.

But beyond that, theres something subtly feminist about the way Meltzer describes her weight loss. Instead of the clichd anecdotes about new jeans and flirtatious men, she recounts sleeping better, feeling happier, putting more value on her body.

It reminds me of another old-school feminist slogan: Self-care is not selfish. Kat Stoeffel, Nymag. Of course, Ms. Steinem is defined by many more important things than her looks, but the point is that being attractiveand caring about personal presentation does not make one any less of a feminist If we truly want to free women from impossible standards, lets not assume that feminine things like dieting or wearing high heels present a sign of weakness.

Just as it is a womans prerogative to eschew gendered clothing and grooming routines, there should also be no shame in choosing to exhibit femininity. Its exciting to see a model back on a major fashion magazine coverand, with a cover line describing her as the worlds real top model, we have a feeling were going to see a lot more of her face in print. Gabrielle Korn, Refinery If not, you soon will, according to ELLE magazine. At a time when magazine covers are dominated by celebrities hawking a new movie or TV show, and are criticized for their lack of diverse faces, ELLE magazine kicks off with the Puerto Rican model on the cover.

Rene Lynch, Latimes. ELLE is moving forward in the right direction! Beautiful image of Joan. And shes showing why supermodels have indeed made a major comeback. Natasha, contributing writer at Theybf. No offense to every actress who has fronted ELLE, but its refreshing and brave of them to go with a real, bona fide mod. Your article is insightful, provocative, and courageous, as is the woman herself. I wonder how many readers realize that Chirlane and Hillary share the same alma mater Wellesley.

What a beautiful person McCray is, and what a powerful asset and partner to her husband! And Im including you, Joyce Dinkins. AlyssaRosenberg, editor at ThinkProgress. Would I relate to her if she wasnt flawed? Probably not. Absolutely not. My desire is that my daughterfinds some amazing friends that she can trust with her heart, learns to love them for their flaws and therefore love herself.

I want her to learn how to fall down and pick herself up and never allow her self-worth to be determined by someone elses opinion. And if she can do this in a great pair of heelswhy not? Carrie was such a great character because she was deeply flawed. The best way that feminists can support the well-being of women is to promote it and get behind the message of women living a healthier lifestyle and taking control of their bodies, instead of their bodies taking control of them.

Letters may be edited for length and clarity. Louisa Kamps The Big Turn-On January , a thoughtfully researched piece about unleashing creativity in everyday life, inspired one ELLE reader to point out a backstory to one of the writers references: Louisa Kamps article on creativity was excellent, covering a lot of ground quickly.

I was surprised, though, that she didnt give the right reference for the wonderful notion of negative capability, which did not originate with Pico Iyer, as she says, but from the early nineteenth century poet John Keats. In a letter, he wrote that what leads most to success, especially in the literary arts, is when a man [sic] is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.

He calls this crucial and splendid condition negative capability. Alice B. With the power of Two. Proven for all skin types, all ages, all ethnicities. Discover at www.

Got a new iPad? I wanted to shoot jewelry made from found objects and pieces with a homespun, customized feel. I discovered a few really interesting designers. It was an introduction into personalities and professionalism, as well as folding clothes.

I would love to work on a film one dayit allows you to delve further into characters than you can in photography. Originally we planned to build a geometric set to play off the lines and angles of the accessories.

But I had an epiphany that the pieces seemed very 70s, in pop colors, and I thought of Warhols loft in midtown Manhattan, the Silver Factory, and decided to cover the set in tinfoil in homage. We did that, and it was awful!

I figured, Fine, well go back to the original, but it looked so catalog. So I thought, Lets use spotlights and make the lighting really sharp in silhouette and use hard shadows against the wall.

We tried that, and it still wasnt right, so we lost the shadows to make it less busy and to concentrate on the silhouette and we lit the products really hard. We shot with a wide-angle lens to distort and elongate the silhouette of the model and make the products seem larger.

It started to look really 70s, like the work of photographer Hiroa legend. It was a long day, but it worked out really well in the end. When I saw that in theaters, I decided right then and there I wasnt going to be an academic. I had never seen a movie like that before. This shoot feels like ELLE in the most classic sense. It really captures the feeling of being sexy, fun, and alive. For me, jewelry is very much a moment.

Ive turned into one of those people who troll eBay for his pieces. It was just a few weeks before I went off for college. It was the end of a chapter. The next summer I was like, Im interning at a magazine, I dont have time for that. It exudes passion. The women feel like women. I dont feel feminine like that, so its interesting for me to watch. There is quite a writers community here; its really amazing.

We are all very happy to meet at five in the afternoon, have a glass of wine, and be home by eight. I had the biggest route at my station, so I made the most money, and I was the youngest and the only girl.

You wouldnt necessarily say I was popular at work. I liked seventh grade. A lot of my books look a tad waterlogged, and Im not going to pretend otherwise. Im rereading James MerrillI love his work. Id also like to build a house with lots of windows and light where I grew up, with trees outside and a vegetable patch and flowers in the front and chickens in the back, and Id like to have somebody to take care of all of that because I wouldnt do it myself; that would be key.

I think that those are the more interesting people. Its just the sheer entertainment factor of not knowing whats going to come out of their mouths. Its not chic, and its not classy, but I like ice-cold white wine. I love the idea that there was a time that was better than the one were living in.

The benefit of growing up like that is its good training for being a journalisttalking to people you dont know all the time. I was at a party full of young industry people, and two of the actors insisted on pulling up the story on their iPhones and acting out a scene from the article. It was a very only in Los Angeles moment. That never happens to me. I think its an excruciatingly tense part of the acting experience, trying to capture a character based on a few pages or a couple of minutes of instruction in a room with 15 or 20 other actors who all look like you.

I find that fascinating. Another assistant and I were left alone after the shoot to wrap up and took the opportunity to sit on the throne of England for a memento photo. Im nosy. It may have inspired me to not work in a fish-and- chips shop.

Its an absurdist, stupid comedy. Haute Joaillerie, place Vendme since Visit our online boutique at vancleefarpels. The New Yorkbased designer, who founded her namesake label in , was born there under Augusto Pinochets rule, and fled with her family when she was 11 for Manchester, England.

This trip was special because I was returning for a happy reason, says Cornejo, who traveled to the South American metropolis as a guest of magazine Revista Ya, which was celebrating its thirtieth anniversary. It was the first time Cornejo had visited in 13 years. There are so many interesting things happening in Latin America right now art, architecture.

It was nice to see how the country had evolved. It was also located next to a park, which was perfect for me to walk through and clear my head in the mornings. DO: Cerro San Cristbal is a great place to check out the amazing views of the city. Its the second highest point in Santiago.

The top of the hill also has an enormous statue of the Virgin Mary, which rises 72 feet high. I also visited [Nobel Prize winner] Pablo Nerudas seaside home, two hours outside the city. The beach is incredible, with huge rocks and beautiful, lush nature in the background. Its the perfect place to find handcrafted goods. I bought a lot of blankets and ceramics there and found a lot of inspiration for patterns.

There is a wonderful Chilean jewelry designer named Chantal Bernsau who sells at the shops at the W hotel. She uses a lot of natural materials, including horn, horsehair, and crystal. It has a stunning natural environment, and it was designed to blend seamlessly into its surroundings.

The lodge is also a leader in eco-sustainability, and it has an outdoor observatory for stargazing. The Puri Spa is also one of the best in Chile, with treatments such as quinoa facials and altiplano mud treatments. When Cornejo said Chile was experiencing a boom, she wasnt kidding: The country is home to around volcanoes, an estimated of which are considered active.

Cotton dress, Topshop, topshop. COM I dont want to be in anything trashy, Tamara Ecclestone says calmly but emphatically in her clear British accent, her azure eyes looking determined but not steely as she describes her vision for an upcoming photo shoot.

Id like the shot to be stripped back, natural, minimal makeup, casual. I dont want it to be massive eyelashes. Its a Monday morning in late November, and Ecclestone, the pregnant and very pretty year-old daughter of Formula One auto racing billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, is hard at work transforming herself from a minor celebrityknown mostly for her huge shopping sprees, which are regularly dissed in the Daily Mail and other UK tabloidsinto a full-fledged transatlantic household name.

We all know money purportedly cant buy love, but the question that Ecclestones unfolding trajectory raises is whether it can buy fame for anyone other than Paris Hilton, that What is it like to be the richest girl in the world? It includes a coconut- and Madagascan vanillascented hair fragrance if youre lazy like me, Ecclestone says, you dont want to wash your hair every day , as well as 10 other decadent styling offerings.

The packaging is lavishly festooned with Swarovski crystals and is intended for displaynot to be stuffed away in a bathroom cabinet. Today the young entrepreneur, who conceived on her June honeymoon with her year-old former stockbroker husband, Jay Rutland, is strategizing about bump pictures with photographer Rgine Mahaux and her branding- adviser-cum-business partner, Scott Harvey- Nicholls. The meeting takes place in her baronial home opposite Kensington Palace; to gain access, one has to pass through a guarded entrance and a trio of private security guards, hired in the wake of a kidnap threat a year and a half ago.

By the Clockwise from top lef On swanky Kings Road; celebrating then boyfriend Omar Khyamis birthday; with husband Jay Rutland at Wimbledon time Im at the front door, I feel like Ive been through a screening process worthy of a prime minister.

The group is seated at a round table in a room decorated with silvery flocked wallpaper, a silvery fox throw, and a black-and- white photo of Marilyn Monroe. It reminds me a bit of the breakfast rooms in long-gone shows like Dynasty and Falcon Crest, in which juice was always served in cut-crystal glasses and coffee was poured from a gleaming silver carafe by uniformed staff. As Mahaux flips through photos of pregnant women, Ecclestone mentions that she likes the hippie chic styling of Jessica Simpson, adding that Simpson had to stay fat because of her contract with Weight Watchers.

This is the sort of trivia Ecclestone, who says shes interested in how interested people are in celebrity, has on the tip of her tongue. The images are intended for publicationin which magazine, its yet to be determinedand plans are already in the works for baby pictures, which Ecclestone stresses should be timeless and iconicnot cheesy.

Meanwhile, Harvey- Nicholls, a department-store scion and professional branding specialist, inserts reminders about his clients long-term image and keeping her on her best level. Its a fine line, evidently, between trying to stand out from the glut of already famous or actively aspiring young women and not blatantly overselling yourself. I just want the bump to be about me, Ecclestone says suddenly, with a brilliantly white smile.

This strikes me as a fetchingly modest thought but one that has nothing to do with trying to collect millions of Twitter followers or the relentless demands of marketing oneself in the twenty-first century.

The truth is, Ecclestone is hardly an unknown quantity, at least in her native land; the trouble is that her bling- bedecked presence has so far elicited only negative press, and I suspect that running her own company wont be enough to change her reputation as an indulged rich girl looking for attention. The British gossip pages have reported on everything from the spray tan she sported as she exited LAX two summers agoThe year-old socialite arrived in sunny L.

The snideness her flamboyant lifestyle evokes is just the other side of boggle-eyed fascination and is part of the complex relationship the press and the public have with the very rich. We lust after the details of their lives even as we disdain and envy them for their access to all manner of perks.

And when youre as in-your-face about spending as Ecclestone is Youre not going to please everyone, she sayschances are that what youll inspire most of all is resentment. Although Ecclestone is almost six months pregnant when we meet shes due in March , the bump under discussion is barely showing, not even when she stands up; its easier to notice her flowing dark tresses, her huge rose-gold watch, even the tiny tattoo on her left wrist.

She put me and my sister first. She chose to stay at home rather than travel with Dad. The leggy heiress is very close to her younger sister, Petra, who Tamara describes as a hands-on mother to her own young daughter, and she plans to follow her lead.

Theres something soothing about bonding time. While Slavica was raised in what is now Croatiaher mother worked in a fruit and vegetable stalland Bernie, now 83, grew up in South London in a house without running water and dropped out of school at 16, the Ecclestone girls childhood was spent in posh Chelsea, a stones throw from where Tamara lives now.

After attending Londons highly regarded Francis Holland School, she went on to university but dropped out to take a TV- presenting course and then worked in Armani retail for eight months.

I couldnt get my head around how rude some people could be. For access to the home of L. There is a Lucite grand piano worthy of Elton John in the massive living room, and bowls of candy adorn the marble counters of the kitchen. We stop briefly in a formal dining room, filled with gorgeous flowers, that Ecclestone admits goes mostly unused: Ive given two dinner parties in the last year.

We like to eat in the kitchen. A uniformed maid is vacuuming the hallway, and outside the bedroom is a museum-worthy display cabinet of Herms bags in dazzling colors though Ecclestone admits that she always wears black or gray. Inside the bedroom two stylists are packing her for a trip to L. A third-floor guest room is used as a storage space, filled with racks of clothes, many still with tags, and row upon row of shoes.

Tamara considers herself a very organized person, and its clear that everything has its place and that the house is immaculately run. Still, just contemplating this endless accumulation of stuff has a strangely wearying effect. I think not only of the money spent but the effort that must have gone into choosing all these things and then inventorying them. I can almost sympathize with Tamara when she says, by way of explaining the pace of her daily life, I havent had any downtime during this pregnancy.

Itll be nice to finally do nothing. Have I mentioned the beauty salon with real pedicure baths? Or the screening room? Neither gets much use, apparently, since Ecclestone mostly goes out to have her nails done and prefers to watch TV and movies in bed.

In addition to being a fan of Homeland and Breaking Bad, shes a connoisseur of reality TV, which she says appeals to nosy, inquisitive people like herself: Im fascinated by people-watching, she says. She tunes in regularly to the The Real Housewives and is especially fond of the New Jersey group, though at one point she quotes Atlantas NeNeI am very rich, bitch, she says mincingly, sounding eerily like NeNe and adds that if anyone in England said that theyd be stoned to death.

This observation is in keeping with other statements Ecclestone makes about what she perceives as the difference between British and American attitudes toward conspicuous wealth.

In America, money is celebrated, she says, pointing out that while she admires her father for achieving so much from such humble beginnings, hes reviled in England because of his lack of education.

She goes on to explain, as if its an argument shes had many times before, that she does understand that you have to instill values and not spoil your children. But I find it puzzling when people think he shouldnt buy [us] a house.

When I ask if she can envision a life without gobs of disposable income, she immediately replies, If I lost all the money, Id be the same person, with the same friends. Of course, Id drive a different car, but thats not what defines me.

If thats not grounded, then what is? In the end, its hard to say exactly what makes Tamara Ecclestone tick; just when Ive decided that an air of unreality surrounds her, shell say something down- to-earth or profess some genuine fellow feeling for the less exalted of the human race.

Shes very into beauty products but pronounces herself too lazy to apply much makeup in the mornings. She likes preparing breakfast and doesnt go to the gymshe prefers to walkbut admits to having used Botox. And yet, what to make of the following? When she, Harvey-Nicholls, and I leave for lunch, Im gently nudged toward a black Range Rover, there to sit in splendid isolation while the two of them go ahead in her customized or pimped- up, as my driver describes it white Range Rover.

In my long career of writing about famous people from all walks of life, this sort of elaborate choreography has never taken place, and then, slowly, it dawns on me: This is all aboutthe photo op. The cars pull up at Zuma, a trendy restaurant, where paparazzi await. Ecclestone exits in a blaze of popping bulbs. I ask later if this always happens. Only when she makes a reservation in her own name, she says. I walk in afterward, completely ignored, feeling slightly like a maid-in-waiting or part of a Secret Service detail.

Once were seated, Tamara considerately pours more soy sauce for me when mine runs out, and were back to being on equal terms, but I wonder what she is hoping for as she looks around the crowded room. People coming up asking for her autograph? A restaurant of her own?

Its hard to see how her life would change if she went from being a spectacularly rich minor personage on the celebrity circuit to a major player.

At the end of the day shed still be a girl with a yen to consume beyond all imagining, a girl who loves reality TV and fills her house with glorious floral arrangements in rooms no one ever uses.

Check out the video at ELLE. She folded and twisted and pinned her ichafu until it sat on her head like a large flower. She wrapped her georgeheavy beaded cloth, alive with embroidery, always in bright shades of red or purple or pinkaround her waist in two layers. The first, the longer piece, hit her ankles, and the second formed an elegant tier just below her knees. Her sequined blouse caught the light and glittered.

Her shoes and handbag always matched. Her lips shone with gloss. As she moved, so did the heady scent of Dior Poison. I loved, too, the way she dressed me in pretty little-girl clothes, lace-edged socks pulled up to my calves, my hair arranged in two puffy bunny-tails.

My favorite memory is of a sunny Sunday morning, standing in front of her dressing table, my mother clasping her necklace around my neck, a delicate gold wisp with a fish-shape pendant, the mouth of the fish open as though in delighted surprise. For her work as a university administrator, my mother also wore color: skirt suits, feminine swingy dresses belted at the waist, medium-high heels.

She was stylish, but she was not unusual. Other middle- class Igbo women also invested in gold jewelry, in good shoes, in appearance. They searched for the best tailors to make clothes for them and their children. If they were lucky enough to travel abroad, they shopped mostly for clothes and shoes. They spoke of grooming almost in moral terms. The rare woman who did not appear well dressed and well lotioned was frowned upon, as though her appearance were a character failing.

She doesnt look like a person, my mother would say. As a teenager, I searched her trunks for crochet tops from the s. Please visit our website for physical merch!
