Cover Look
icture a sun-drenched day at the beach, with dolphins splashing in the glistening water on the horizon. It’s not just your imagination—it’s the stunning locale for Elle Fanning’s second Teen
Vogue cover shoot, set at Sycamore Cove in Malibu, Califor-nia. Equally stunning is our star, who arrived with her mom and was überenergetic the whole time. Perhaps it’s because she was on spring break (Elle goes to a regular high school when she’s not filming), or maybe it was the gorgeous concept that photographer Daniel Jackson and stylist Sara Moonves created for her (a chic take on the ’60s and ’70s, with a modern twist)—either way, Elle was ecstatic. “It’s very California,” she told us of the shoot’s vibe. “Hippie hair, with some Brigitte Bardot influences. It’s really relaxed.” And with superstar glam team Esther Langham and Yadim embracing Elle’s natural beauty, she knew she was in good hands. “Teen Vogue is important to me—it’s the only magazine I actually have a subscription to,” Elle said, smiling. “This shoot is so special!”

Family ties With my daughter ingrid, arthur elgort, and his son ansel at a Teen Vogue event in 2009

Teen Vogue in 2011; at left: on the set of this
month’s cover shoot.
ansel, shot by his father for Teen Vogue, in 2009
omething that has brought me a lot of
pride and joy over the years is Teen Vogue’s record of
discovering and promoting fresh talent. It could be
models, musicians, photographers, actors, or even real girls
whose style we admire—if our discerning editors think there’s
something special about them, they might get their moment
to shine in our pages. Take Ansel Elgort. His dad, Arthur, is a
celebrated fashion lensman and has cast young hoofer/ham
Ansel (who attended New York City’s famous Fiorello H.
LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts) in
many of his most memorable Vogue and
Teen Vogue shoots. We always believed
Ansel had star power and are thrilled
that Hollywood has awarded him
leading-guy status in The Fault in Our
Stars (page 90). Elle Fanning is another
longtime Teen Vogue favorite, and I am
so happy she is back on cover duty this
month, in time for her Disney-princess
debut in Maleficent, with Angelina
Jolie. I interviewed the adorable Elle
(something I rarely do!) and came
away even more impressed. Some
young celebs go off the rails with
fame, but Elle and Ansel are just
getting better with age.

arthur elgortArthur Elgort is a master lensman, but photography was not his first creative
pursuit. “I always liked taking pictures and I always liked being around
people, but I was a painter first,” he recounts. The solitary life didn’t quite suit
him, though: “When I was painting, I was always alone. When I was taking
photos, I was never alone, and I was meeting new people all the time.” Arthur
is known for putting his subjects at ease—whether they’re on set, in the
streets, or backstage at a fashion show—and has a knack for capturing
spontaneous, candid moments on film. “To make a great image, you have to
be relaxed,” he says. “You are only as good as your model.” Lucky for us, one
of Arthur’s favorite subjects (and ours!) is his own son Ansel, who has major
roles in two of this year’s most exciting films, Divergent and The Fault in Our
Stars, and is set to take Hollywood by storm. He grew up in front of his father’s
camera—we feature a handful of these snapshots in “Taking Flight,” our story
on the younger Elgort—making acting a natural progression. But what if
Ansel had wanted to shoot photos, like his dad? Arthur’s advice to aspiring
photographers: “Keep working. Keep your camera with you all the time—
take it to bed with you. If you have nothing to do, take your own picture.”

sara moonvesRaiding Mom’s closet is pretty much a rite of passage
for any fashion fanatic, including stylist Sara Moonves.
“I have memories of trying on my mother’s Missoni
caftans when I was a teenager,” she says. “I can’t
remember a time when I wasn’t interested in fashion.”
During college, Sara landed internships at Vogue and e
Teen Vogue, but was originally more into the idea of
writing about the clothes, not styling them. It wasn’t
until she became the assistant to Phyllis Posnick,
Vogue’s executive fashion editor, that she turned to
styling. “I fell in love with being on set and creating
pictures,” she recalls. “Phyllis worked with the legend-
ary photographer Irving Penn, and watching them
produce incredible images made me realize I wanted
to be a stylist.” This month Sara worked her magic on
cover girl Elle
Fanning, putting
together summer
looks with ’60s and
’70s flair (“The Elle
Word”). “I loved
working with
Elle—she is truly a
dream girl to shoot!”
“Being a teenager and seeing the amazing advertisements Bruce
Weber was creating for Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren really struck
a chord with me,” photographer Ben Weller says of his formative
years. After graduating with first-class honors from Brighton
University, the lensman began his career in London, shooting
editorials for Wonderland, Another, and rr British Vogue. He’s
teamed up with a bevy of talent, from stylists Katie Shillingford
and Julia Sarr-Jamois to hair wizards James Pecis and Shon, but Ben
had his first opportunity to collaborate with industry pro Havana
Laffitte through “Little Miss Sunshine,” in this issue. “She was
so great to work with,”
Ben says of his partner
in crime, who hit the
California coast with him
to capture this summer’s
beach-ready styles.
“Shooting at an awesome
surf spot was an added
bonus,” he says. There’s
nothing better than a little
fashion fun in the sun.

difference [‘Chelsea Lately’]—she is continuing an incredible
legacy that her parents started. Thanks for being the best teen

Shailene’s approach to fame, acting, and relationships is so refreshing. She is clearly not in the business for only the money and fame. Her ability to stay true to herself rather than conform to the mold of a teen star is reassuring and makes her a great role model.Annie Kluger VIA E-MAIl

we are active on a myriad of platforms,
from Facebook to Twitter to Tumblr. We
just recruited an intern via Snapchat!
I initially started the store with just vintage, so I had no idea what would
work when we started buying from new designers. We looked for brands that
were less known and that had a unique point of view. In the fall of 2012 we
launched our own Nasty Gal line. I’d been curating other designers for our
clients for so long and really knew what they liked, so it was a natural step.
A typical day for me involves a lot of meetings. I could be talking to our
board one minute and then interviewing a potential team member the next. I
spend a lot of time looking at the big picture and thinking about how to give
our customers the best possible experience, but then I also have to look at the
small details, like fabric samples.
I’m very excited about my book, #GIRLBOSS, which came out in May.
It’s giving me the opportunity to reflect on the past seven years and tell my
story. I see the world in a way that is different from someone who might have
gone to the perfect college and climbed up the corporate ladder. The book
is a good mix of funny anecdotes and advice from what I have learned. I’ve
always been proud of my accomplishments, but it is a crazy
feeling to have gone from operating a small eBay store at age
22 to being a published author today. It’s a trip!”
3. Know your strengths. Everyone has conflicting advice, but ultimately the world is yours to create.
2. Money looks better in the bank than on your feet. Once
you learn to save, you’ll find
yourself with so much more.
1. Don’t act like you’ve arrived when you’re just receiving the invitation. Work hard, no matter how much recognition you get.

Dior beauty ambassador and resident illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin is drawing attention for her cheeky, fashionable designs. Plus, three young
artists who are quickly making their mark.

AN ARTIST’S eYe
Jamie, in Dior, does some pre-party sketching at the St. Regis.
n our over-Instagrammed world, where everyone with
an iPhone thinks they’re Herb Ritts or Ansel Adams, I
sometimes fear that certain true artistic forms may
become extinct. But it was illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin’s
savvy use of social media to share her work that captured
the attention of Dior Beauty (and myself) and that gave this
Los Angeles–based artist some major street cred. “I started
with Twitter and was really late to the Instagram game, but
it changed everything. I can show my drawings and get in
touch with people I normally wouldn’t be able to,” she says.
Now that Jamie is Dior Beauty’s U.S. ambassador,
her duties include test-driving new products and creating
illustrations inspired by them. “They told me, ‘You get an
endless arsenal of makeup, and you get to go to New York
and Paris, and we’ll dress you in Dior.’ I was blown away!”
says the Ryerson University fashion communication grad,
who got her art start as a kid in Toronto, sketching Disney
characters off VHS tape covers for friends’ birthday cards.
While damsels in distress and singing crabs are all
fine and well, it was Jamie’s early fixation with Cruella De
Vil that shaped her whimsical-with-a-wink-of-wicked style.
TEENVOGUE.COM42 JUNE/JULY 2014
“It’s a little bit dark and bizarre
and strongly influenced by
Tim Burton,” she says of her
exaggerated, long-limbed
depictions of sartorial
luminaries like Grace Coddington, Anna
Wintour, and Anna Dello Russo.
Art imitated life during an intimate
dinner hosted by Dior at New York’s St.
Regis hotel, when Jamie came face-to-face
with certain industry insiders she’d previously
known only from her sketchbook. “I’d never
been the guest of honor,” she says. “I used to be a
waitress, and I’ve always been on the working side of
these events, so this was really special.” Although
Jamie was pampered, prepped, and polished by a
team of professionals for the soiree, she asked to add
the finishing touch herself: the perfect cat-eye flick,
courtesy of the aptly named Diorshow Art Pen eyeliner.
Guess she had to draw the line somewhere. —A.B.

voice and has always been a
part of my life. I’m a self-taught
illustrator, which led me to create
an apparel and accessories line
four years ago. My inspiration

look up to those who stand

achieve success. The com-
mon thread through my
work, whether I’m using pens
and pencils or my embroi-
dery techniques, is to evoke a
kind of dream or fantasy and
to capture my subject’s
true essence and
personality. You can’t

skateboarding when I was
5 years old (it’s the root of

self-taught in digital design
before going on to study
illustration and screen
printing. I describe my style
as ‘ModPop’—I’m embrac-
ing the modern aesthetic
of digitally created illustra-
tions and translating them
into a new form of Pop Art.
It might be a cliché to cite Andy
Warhol, but he has been a big
influence with his merging of
commercial and fine art.
Platforms like Instagram have
been vital to my success. If I
can make someone else
happy through my work, I’ve
done my job.”

Model Andreea Diaconu’s off-duty outfit mixes black leather with traditional trainers.
When sneakers make their couture debut (hello, Chanel and Dior!), you know they aren’t just for the gym anymore. So it was no surprise that cool kicks segued from the runway to the street at the recent round of fashion shows. Our favorite take on the trend? Game-changing bright white trainers
in classic cuts. They’re clean (though for how long is up to you—beware of puddles!), and they keep the edge of wearing a sport shoe but still feel fresh. Consider them the high-impact alternative to granny flats. Exhibit A: mytheresa.com fashion editor Veronika Heilbrunner turning heads during Milan Fashion Week in amped-up high-tops paired with a decidedly unathletic Valentino oxford shirt and skirt. We like to call the look chic sportif.

Ever since, her career has skyrocketed: A part in M. Night
ShyamalanÕs sci-fi flick The Last Airbender was followed
by the role of Bradley in A&EÕs addictive series Bates
Motel. This summer Nicola returns to the big screen with
starring roles in Transformers: Age of Extinction and the
Great GatsbyÐinspired indie Affluenza, cementing her
place as HollywoodÕs hottest new ingenue.
ÒWhen Michael Bay called to offer me the part in
Transformers, I freaked out,Ó Nicola recalls, adding
that her mom thought it was all a big prank at first. ÒI had
to call my agent to confirm,Ó she says, laughing. ÒI was so
worried!Ó For the naturally athletic starlet, the action-
packed stunt scenes (which sometimes included real
explosions!) were among the most exciting ones to
shoot. ÒIt was such an adrenaline rush. Being hooked up
to wires, running, jumpingÑall crazy fun,Ó she
proclaims. ÒI happen to love heights.Ó Shot across North
America and in Asia, the film allowed Nicola to indulge
in another of her passions: travel. ÒHong Kong was
stunning,Ó the New York native says. ÒItÕs one of the most
beautiful places in the world.Ó
Nicola likens the camaraderie among her
Transformers costars (who include Mark Wahlberg,
Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, and Jack Reynor) to that
of a family. ÒIt was nice to have that bond on set.Ó And of
her machine mates? ÒBumblebee is my favorite autobot!Ó
she reveals. ÒHeÕs the life of the party.Ó
With a third season of Bates Motel in the works
(NicolaÕs story line remained a mystery at press time)
and the possibility of two more Transformers films in
the future, itÕs safe to say NicolaÕs star will only continue
to rise. Still, she retains a practical POV. ÒIÕve heard ÔnoÕ
a million times,Ó she says. ÒBut I believe everything
happens for a reasonÑjust keep working hard and
things will fall into place.Ó —ANTHONY ROTUNNO

Dana’s Diaries
britney’s backBefore there was Miley, there was Britney. Dana Mathews meets her teen idol in Vegas at the singer’s Piece of Me show.
can now say that I’ve written my dream column. It involved a trip to the glittering Las Vegas strip, 14 dancers, a rainfall-and-fire extravaganza, and Britney Spears.
Not since Madonna has there been a music icon as powerful and provocative as Britney Jean. Don’t believe me? Ask Miley Cyrus, who considers Britney her idol. Fifteen years after her “...Baby One More Time” debut, the pop star has her own buzzed-about two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino; I had to go see what the hype was all about.
The custom theater she performs in is like a club with a perpetual dance party. What does Britney see when she looks out at the 4,600- person crowd that comes to each sold-out night? “Die-hard fans, of course,” she tells me, “and those experiencing my music for the first time.”
The high-intensity, 21-song concert is a spectacular show that features Britney’s signature femme fatale choreography. “I was adamant about having fire and water!” she says of the lavish production design. (Her dancers tell me after the show that they drink the water that’s falling on them!)
After doing some serious dancing of my own, I jump up again as I hear the first three chords of the vintage hit “(You Drive Me)
Crazy,” the encore, and it’s just as good as it was when I first watched it on TRL in middle school. Since she spent her teen years in the limelight, I had to ask what advice Britney would give her fans as they go through adolescence. Her response? “Always be true to yourself.”
¡
I’m a little nervous
before each show, but the second I see the audience dancing, the
nerves go away and I’m really into it!
The reigning princess of pop soaks it all in onstage in Sin City.
Dana had pre-party and backstage access.

ith her icy blonde hair, iconic red lipstick, and eye-catching nails,
it’s as if Rita Ora were destined to have her face plastered on
beauty products everywhere. Although she’s one of Karl Lagerfeld’s
top fashion plates, all it takes is one conversation with the London-bred singer to
know she’s a bona fide beauty girl at heart.
On the set of her first Teen Vogue shoot last year, Rita morphed into the kind
of wide-eyed makeup addict who gushes nostalgically about everything from
buying her first lipstick (“It was from Rimmel!”) to hoarding the British megabrand’s
bronzer as a teen. “All my friends had it,” she says. “We loved that there was a little bit
of glitter—it gave you those J.Lo high-beam cheeks.”
Rita’s U.S. album debuts in August, and she’s playing Mia Grey in
the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, due out in 2015. But the
poised pop sensation–turned–movie star notes, “I never turn my back
on what got me started. Rimmel is still my absolute favorite.”
This summer she and her first love launch a
collection of nail polishes that bottle up
her cool factor and, yes, even feature her
famous mug. Full-circle moment!

Beach trips, pool parties, and all things filed under
“fun in the sun” have at least one drastic side effect: hair- color havoc. Blondes get a little green, reds become brassy, and bright shades fade fast. Pricey gloss treatments were once the only remedy—that is, until some of our favorite brands, including Rita Hazan (Katy Perry’s go-to colorist), developed salon-quality solutions that work right in your shower.

lle Fanning is an original. Everything about her feels sweetly nonconformist and not at all clichéd actress-y or clichéd teen-y. She has just turned 16 and is an authentically sunny spirit, effortlessly projecting a wholesome, girlish, and normal quality despite the fact that she is a Hollywood pro
who has already made more than 20 films. (Her first gig was at age 2, in I Am
Sam, as sister Dakota’s younger self.) The words totally and like pepper Elle’s conversation, and the many references to her (protective/wise!) mother are endearing and revealing: “My mom never let me have a Facebook account”; “My mom does not like it when I chew gum”; and, regarding Coachella, “I don’t think she would let me go.” The flip side of her clearly cherished innocence is a preternatural sophistication, with lots of retro cultural references. Elle reveres classic bombshell blondes like Marilyn Monroe (“She never faked her emotion,” and “She had fantastic bathing suits”) and Brigitte Bardot (whom Elle has on her Tumblr and who inspired this Teen Vogue shoot), but also respects strong, cerebral, contemporary goddesses like Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, and Marion Cotillard—“like, powerhouse people,” she says admiringly. Elle appeared in two Sundance films this year, Young Ones and Low Down, but she steps outside her indie comfort zone with a star turn in the upcoming big-budget,

Disney fairy-tale blockbuster Maleficent, with Jolie. We met
over tea at a Paris hotel between attending the fall shows there
in early March. As a face of the Miu Miu spring campaign, Elle
sat front row at that house, next to fellow campaigners Lupita
Nyong’o, Elizabeth Olsen, and Bella Heathcote. Honestly, I
could chat with the charming Elle for hours—about fashion,
movies, prom, high school, whatever—and I wish all of you
could, too. Here are some highlights.
AA: Elle, if I could ask you only one question, this would
be it: What’s up with your Instagram? Are all those accounts
fake? I used to follow @ellefanningactress, and I really
thought it was you! The person even left me messages!
EF: [Giggling; blushing] I know! It’s so weird! All my friends
come to me and think I’m on Facebook. I’m like, “No! It’s not
me!” None of it is me!
AA: So are you on social media?
EF: I have a private Instagram. No Twitter. Someone made
an account of me and my sister and even got it verified—you
know, with the check mark! And it was getting tweets from
famous people like, you know, “Hey!”
AA: And it was all fake?
EF: Mmmmhmmm. It’s kind of strange. You feel
like, Isn’t this illegal? An impostor, someone
pretending to be you…like that film with Matt
Damon!
AA: And Gwyneth! The Talented Mr. Ripley!
EF: Yeah, yeah!
We are both giggling now, but I am
so clocking Elle’s knowing refer-
ence to a great movie made when
she was about 1 year old. Anyway,
it turns out that even Elle’s acquain-
tances—she attends a regular school
in California, and met her best
friend there in fourth grade—get
dragged into this weirdness as fans
make fake accounts about friends of
Elle. But she is philosophical about
the loss of anonymity: “It just comes
with the territory,’’ Elle says. And
her pals sound like saints.
AA: What about Snapchat?
EF: I love it! Poof, it’s gone. But
you’re always like, “Oh, my
God, where did this picture
go?” I’m sure the guy who
invented it can totally see it!
AA: What do you wear to
school? You have such great
style!
EF: I wear a uniform! You have
to wear a polo—not flattering—
or a button-down, which is better. And a plaid or khaki skirt. A
cardigan with a little school crest—very preppy.
This is disappointing news, fashion fans! But...
EF: We have Free-dress Friday, though! Also, you can wear
any jacket—leather, flannel, a big jean jacket—and any shoes
you want. Last year I wore letterman jackets. I wear these
over-the-knee Prada boots. [Motions toward the chic black
thigh-highs she is currently wearing] Or Marni sandals with
really weird socks.
AA: How does your red-carpet style differ from your
regular-life look?
EF: Well, you’ve got to take a picture! It’s all about the picture.
It might look great in person—everyone thinks so—and then
you take a picture and it’s like, “This looks terrible!” Because
of the Internet, it’s only about the picture, not what it looks
like in person.
AA: How has your public look evolved, beyond dealing
with the Internet and all the photos?
EF: I did my first major premiere when I was 12. I was very
girly, supercutesy, with bows and poufy dresses. I will always
be a “pink girl.” But I
am starting to like long
dresses or silkier

ones. Not tight, just a little more…formfitting? I wear a lot of
Miu Miu, Prada, Valentino. I like Céline. Rodarte.
AA: What is your red-carpet strategy for your new movie,
Maleficent? You are a Disney princess!
EF: Oh, I really want to do Aurora justice! I really want to look the
part of a princess, you know? My fashion for the press appear-
ances is very character-driven. At the beginning Aurora is fresh
and easy in a lot of peasant dresses. Later she wears something
much more ornate. So I am thinking about how to express
that. I feel like I have a special connection to Sleeping Beauty.
Each of the Disney princesses has a different background, a
different hair color, and Sleeping Beauty was kind of always my
favorite: my girl with the long blonde hair, the pink dress. When
I went to the Disney store, I got her doll, her dresses. When they
asked me to play her, that was insane, you know? When I was
little I wanted to be a Disney princess, and now I can say that
my dream came true and I’ve become a Disney princess.
AA: Maleficent looks so dark and so good! Tell me about it.
EF: I always try to choose something different, and
Maleficent has so much green screen, which was new to
me. The director, Robert Stromberg, did the production
design on Avatar. We shot the film for four months on sets
in a studio outside London, called Pinewood. I watched the
animated film so many times, looking at Aurora’s manner-
isms, her motions. Like when she pricks her finger on the
spindle—that whole scene was very, very important.
AA: Angelina Jolie is your costar! Was that intimidating?
EF: When I met her, she gave me a huge hug and she took
my shoulders and said, “We are going to have the best time
working together!” And we did—we had the best time! She
has a huge presence. She would walk around set all the time
with her giant Maleficent staff because she said she had to
get used to it—she said it had to become a part of her, since
Maleficent and the staff are so connected. Everyone would
just stare at her! With the cheekbones, the staff just made her
more like…“Oh, my God!” [Shrieks]
AA: Elle, let’s talk about boys. You seem to dress for your-
self, not necessarily to appeal to them.
“i love
snapchat,
but you’re always
like, ‘Oh, my God,
where did this
picture go?’”

“In Southampton [New York] by the pool with Galo. My fans know Galo,” Ansel says. Opposite page: “Here I am outside my dad’s studio in SoHo [in New York City]. My stylist John Tan is the man. He does very interesting styling.”

ew York City’s skyline glistens opposite the quiet Brooklyn waterfront where I stand with Ansel Elgort, the strikingly charismatic 20-year-old who has recently arrived as Hollywood’s new It boy. Like the buildings before us, the
six-foot-four star towers over me. His tousled, light-brown hair peeks out from the flat orange brim of his New York Knicks hat, and he’s sporting a gray hoodie—it’s a look his on-screen persona Augustus Waters would wear.
By now, YA fans know exactly who Augustus Waters is: one half of the extraordinary teen duo from The Fault
in Our Stars (TFiOS), John Green’s best-selling book with more than 7 million copies printed in 46 languages. The literary sensation turned film, branded as “one sick love story” on the movie poster (which immediately went viral), is about two terminally ill kids who meet at a cancer support group and stars Shailene Woodley as protagonist Hazel Grace Lancaster.
It was Divergent, however, that initially brought Shailene and Ansel together, when he played her brother, Caleb Prior—only his second movie role (his first was jock Tommy Ross in Carrie, starring Chloë Grace Moretz). But being cast in the blockbuster almost prevented him from landing the part in TFiOS: “John Green was like, ‘Please be anyone but the girl’s brother from Divergent,’” Ansel remem-bers of his audition. He made a tape in his parents’ stairwell (his father is famed Vogue and Teen Vogue photographer Arthur Elgort, and his mother is opera director Grethe Holby) of three “tough scenes,” and Ansel won the role, beating out several higher-profile actors.
“Augustus is quirky, weird, and nerdy,” Ansel says, his brown eyes squinting against the morning light. “That’s kind of how I am in real life. Really!” While he cites slightly more cool-kid interests—like playing basket-ball, producing house music, and rock climbing—among his favorite things, he admits: “I paint miniatures and play video games, too. I have a lot in common with the guy!”
It took two months to film TFiOS on location in Pittsburgh, the city set meant to be Indianapolis. The actor stayed in an apartment building there, sharing a floor with costar Nat Wolff, who plays Augustus’s best friend, Isaac. Having recently moved out of his parents’ home, Ansel is relishing the chance to do things his way: “I’d be playing video games, and my parents would come in and say, ‘Good. Keep it up!’ And I’d feel like, S***! Guilted! Now that I live alone, I can do whatever I want. In Pittsburgh I liked having my freedom.”
nPreparing for the role of Augustus, who has a pros-
thetic right leg from a battle with osteosarcoma, was an emotional process. “I thought, I should know my disease; I should know what it would be like to lose my leg,” he says. He spoke to doctors and befriended Tanner Boatwright, a teen who’d been injured in a hunting accident and who served as his body double on the movie’s set. “Tanner said that when he lost his leg, there was no mourning period,” he recalls. “I think Augustus was that way, too. He’d probably be like, ‘I’m going to tackle this.’”
Even still, Augustus fears oblivion and wants to make his mark on the world. “Augustus seems almighty,” Ansel says of his character’s debonair attitude when he first encounters Hazel Grace. “But clearly there’s stuff underneath that. He finally finds something that he thinks matters, which is Hazel. Whatever she likes, he likes too.”
And what better Hazel than Shailene, one of Holly-wood’s most in-demand young actresses? “She is a rare girl,” he says of the down-to-earth 22-year-old. “And not just in this industry—I mean out of everyone I’ve ever met. She plays Hazel negatively in the beginning, which is not very Shailene at all. Then you see her open up because of Gus, and it’s beautiful.”
The movie demanded that the pair spend 12-hour days shooting scenes, many involving particularly heartbreaking moments (if you’ve read the book, you know which ones I’m talking about). “We would cry all the time,” Ansel says. “It felt good. I let it out.” After wrapping in Pittsburgh, they went to Amsterdam for a week and filmed at the Anne Frank House
and various outdoor city locations. “We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam together,” he says dreamily. “I bet we walked every single block.”
As fans around the world eagerly await the film’s release, which will magnify a story that already means so much to them, I ask Ansel what his personal takeaway from this experience is. “It makes me think of a significant other,” he says carefully. “Fault is a beau-tiful, honorable love story that I hope I’ll get to experience in my own lifetime. It
makes you grateful for any love you have in your life.”
Soon after we speak, the rising star will fly to Los Angeles to present at the MTV Movie Awards with Shailene. “I’ve realized how big the fan base is and how they’re embracing the movie. It’s so cool!” he says as the biggest smile erupts on his face. “But everyone’s going to be like, ‘Who the hell is that kid? Shailene Woodley and…who?’” He laughs. I have a feeling he’s about to be proven dead wrong. —DANA MATHEWS

ThinStretched
First the thigh gap, now the bikini bridge—it’s no wonder
86 percent of teens feel less confident about their bodies
after surfing social media. Teen Vogue reports.
few days into her freshman year of high school, Lauren stumbled across a Tumblr photo of a thin young woman sunbathing. The girl’s bikini bottom rested on protruding
hip bones, revealing a space between the swimsuit and her stomach—a “bikini bridge,” as Lauren, now 17, later found out. The photo unsettled her. “I’d never felt uncomfortable about my body until then,” she confides. “I started comparing myself to the girls in these pictures. I ate only 500 calories a day for weeks.”
In certain dark corners of the Internet, “thinspiration” lurks and prospers. You’ve probably heard of it, and more than likely seen it—the countless #thinspo-tagged photographs of often disturbingly skinny bodies posted online with the intention, as the name suggests, of inspiring girls to be thinner. Last year it manifested most prominently as the thigh gap, the web’s name for the space between a girl’s thighs when she’s standing with her feet together. This year it’s the bikini bridge.
“Now I have yet another thing to worry about, as if a thigh gap and a flat stomach weren’t enough,” high school sophomore Samantha, 16, bemoans. “It’s upsetting to feel the need to conform to another new standard.” Even still, she’s not immune to thinspo’s allure: “I won’t lie, it can be addictive.” But why? What makes something like the bikini bridge—which, shock-ingly, started as a cruel prank by message board users looking to hit a cultural nerve—so powerful? According to Claire Mysko, editor of the National Eating Disorders Association’s (NEDA) teen website proud2bme.org, it’s because these trends spread quickly, and seem to strike a chord wherever they go. “Fixating on an individual body part isn’t a new phenomenon,” she says, “but what’s different now is that there are terms for
athose fixations, with hashtags that are easily searchable. That promotes fixation on a much larger scale. The proliferation of these pictures has exploded, and we’re seeing a negative influ-ence on girls’ body image.” In a Proud2Bme survey last fall, 86 percent of respondents reported having less body confidence after surfing social media, where thinspo content is shared.
College senior Jacquie, 22, had more than just a loss of body confidence; for her, thinspo was dramatically—and dangerously—transformative. “When I wandered onto those sites, things like the thigh gap started to look normal to me,” she admits. “I became obsessed with checking that mine was still there. I remember looking in the mirror and watching my body expand. That was never really happening, of course, but my fears were being realized through my reflection.” Jacquie’s blossoming eating disorder, in which she restricted her daily meals to almost nothing, led to an emergency medical leave from school. Now more than two years in recovery, she’s healthy, happy, and focused on getting other girls to the same place: “You have to make an active decision to stop looking at thinspo. Otherwise, it will suck you in like a black hole.”
Of course, not everyone who sees a picture of a bikini bridge will go to extremes to get one, NEDA’s Mysko contends. “Thinspiration sites don’t automatically create eating disorders,” she says, but adds that for teens who are vulner-able to developing anxiety, trends like the bikini bridge can trigger serious self-harming behaviors. It’s partially because pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia blogs, which host and thrive on thinspo, portray eating disorders as tempting, beneficial lifestyle choices—not the diseases they really are. Compounding the danger, says anorexia survivor Liana Rosenman, 23, cofounder of the eating disorder recovery nonprofit Project Heal, is that thinspo tends to “fuel competition” among eating disorder sufferers, leading many to engage in even more extreme diet and exercise regimens. continued ➤ 117

EF: Well, I want a boy to like my weird style. If he doesn’t, then he’s not the right person for me. Because if you start dressing one way and it’s not truly you, then you have to stick to it. Otherwise, you wear your weird thing and then he’s like, “What’s that?” and you’re like, “Well, I like it!” And then you are in an uncomfortable situation. AA: A man-repeller situation. EF: I try to dress to convey what I feel. There used to be a lot of bar and bat mitzvahs, and now it is more dance parties and sweet sixteens, and everyone is wearing, like, a very short, tight bandage dress. With really curled hair and the black eye shadow. It might be them, but it’s just not me. AA: I really admire that you are strong and unconventional and go your own way. EF: I just feel like it’s better, looking fresh. It’s also sexier not wearing any makeup at all. Like, honestly, if you talk to guys, they’ll all think that. AA: Are guys intimidated by you? EF: Well, it used to be that I was always taller than them, but now they are catching up and they’re not as, like, scared. But I went to prom last year—someone asked me to prom. AA: What did you wear? EF: I wore a white Ralph Lauren dress. AA: Are you going again this year? EF: Yeah. You’re not allowed to go as a freshman or sopho-more unless a junior or senior asks you. AA: So you went with an older guy last year? EF: Yeah. I’m going this year, so I need to find my outfit. AA: Different guy? EF: Same guy. AA: Same guy? OK, inquiring minds at Teen Vogue want to know: Is he your boyfriend or just a friend? EF: He’s a guy. AA: OK…! What are you gonna wear? EF: I am thinking I might wear a tuxedo. Like a cream tuxedo, and he could wear a black one. How cute would that look? AA: I love that! And he’s down with this? EF: Yeah, he’s so fun that I think he’d be up for it. AA: And he likes your style? EF: He likes my style, yeah.AA: Elle, you really take your fashion statements seriously. What’s the deal with you and Halloween? EF: This year I was a vampire, which sounds kind of boring, considering I was once the Morton Salt Girl. And the Statue of Liberty. I was, like, Statue of Liberty Barbie. I found a
Thankfully, Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook, and other social networking sites are taking steps to shield users from this potentially harmful content. A thinspo search on Tumblr yields a list of eating-disorder and crisis resources, and the same search on Pinterest points pinners to a toll-free help line number and NEDA’s website. It’s a start, say Mysko and her colleague, NEDA president and CEO Lynn Grefe, but there’s still much more work to be done. “We need to change the dialogue,” Grefe says. “With thinspo trends like the bikini bridge, the message is that nothing is ever enough: You’re never good enough, pretty enough, or small enough. We want to change that message so girls stop talking about the size of each other and start encouraging one another to look a little deeper.”
Now a student again, Jacquie is doing her part. She founded the University of Miami’s chapter of Project Heal, and she’s put thinspo squarely behind her. “I realized that the people around me had better things to offer than the stick-thin images I used to fill my days with,” she says. Samantha’s moved on, too: “I don’t want to feel as though I constantly have to compare myself—I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. Girls are so much more than a bikini bridge, a thigh gap, or a flat stomach. I want to feel beautiful and confident just the way I am.” —KristeN mAsciA

STRETCHED THIN
sequin vintage dress at Topshop in London when I was there filming Maleficent, actually. And then I had the crown, the torch, and the glittery makeup. Greenish makeup. I put myself together for Halloween—it’s not like a stylist does it. AA: Tell me something you can’t live without. Anything!EF: My Barbie calendar in my room. I put all the details of my day on it. And...it’s so weird, but I save gum wrappers. Like, I have thousands of Dubble Bubble and Bazooka. I put them all in a Chanel shoe box. AA: You do? I mean, if you had some gum right now, with me, in Paris, would you toss the wrapper or what? EF: I always stick it in my purse and then I’ll empty it out later. AA: Into the Chanel box? You are a little OCD about this, Elle. Someday you’ll know how much gum you’ve chewed. EF: I am. Which is insane. My mom is always like, “Stop smacking it!” My mom does not like it when I chew gum.AA: What does the future hold for Elle Fanning?EF: I want to go to college—I haven’t decided where yet. I still want to act, but I also want to write and direct. I want to write a script so badly; it could come from my own life, because I’ve had a lot of experiences. I know I will, ’cause I feel like I have it in me to do it.

Last Look
t’s rare to catch Manhattan-based Sea and Teddy Bensimon standing still for too long. Each balances school, volunteer work, and travel. Teddy, 13,
dreams of becoming an architect and is a budding beauty vlogger. “We can’t wear many accessories with our school uniform—we just got the privilege of nail polish,” she says. “After watching Bethany Mota and Michelle Phan’s channels, I made my own YouTube account. I’m filming my first video.” Her working title? Beautycutie227.
Whereas Teddy is interested in makeup, Sea, 16, focuses on film and attends fashion shows with her mom (model and reality-TV star Kelly Killoren
Bensimon). But instead of the runway, her wardrobe comes from familiar closets. “I always wear my parents’ vintage stuff,” Sea says. “My dad [photographer Gilles Bensimon] has a jean jacket with patches all over it, and one of the first things my mom bought as a model is a cozy cashmere sweater.”
Both girls enjoy family ski trips, Paris, and art. Their bedrooms are filled with daring DIY accents, like a paint-splattered surfboard and a Mike
Kelley–inspired stuffed-animal chair. The next project will be from Sea’s birthday party: “At the end of the night, I’ll have a huge mural that all my friends contributed to.” —CLAIRE KNEBL
