Many of the Vogue-watchers predicted this, that Cara Delevigne would get her first solo American Vogue cover for the July issue. It seems like a boring, predictable choice, although how in the world is Cara somehow “more worthy” of a Vogue cover than someone like Taraji P. Henson? Cara is transitioning from modeling to acting, and she’s already promoting the hell out of Paper Towns, the teen romance-drama in which Cara plays the most beautiful girl in the world or whatever.
The Patrick Demarchelier editorial is kind of blah – you can see Vogue’s slideshow here. That blah-ness is not on Demarchelier either, I just don’t think Cara has much of an “it factor” in most editorials. She looks like they just picked up some unkempt teen off the street and put her in some gowns. As for the profile… it’s actually a pretty good read. Cara is self-absorbed but she’s also wild and she’ll tell you anything. She talks about her sexuality, feeling suicidal, how much she hates modeling and growing up a rich girl. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
Being on the straight & narrow for Suicide Squad: “I’m not allowed to drink. I’m not allowed good food. After turning 20 and eating McDonald’s all the time and drinking too much, it started to show on my stomach and on my face. But I’m playing a homicidal witch, so I need to look ripped.”
Her body is not a temple: “I say my body is a roller coaster. Enjoy the ride. But can you believe that? That I have to exercise restraint after I’ve succeeded in a business where for years I had no restraint, where the whole point was excess?”
The bubble of the fashion industry: “I’m not sure I understand what fashion is anymore. I admit I was terrified to leave. I mean, the bubble gives you a kind of dysfunctional family. When you’re in it, you get it. And the second you’re out of it, you’re like, What the hell just happened?”
Her background: “I grew up in the upper class, for sure. My family was kind of about that whole parties–and–horse racing thing. I can understand it’s fun for some. I never enjoyed it.”
Her partying lifestyle: “I had to be doing things with people at all times. The life of the party is an easy part for me to play. It rots your insides, though. Honestly, I don’t think I did anything different from other people my age. But I definitely have that addict gene. For me it comes out in an addiction to work. I’d probably have done more drugs back then if I hadn’t been working like mad.”
Her bisexuality, falling in love with St. Vincent: “I think that being in love with my girlfriend is a big part of why I’m feeling so happy with who I am these days. And for those words to come out of my mouth is actually a miracle. It took me a long time to accept the idea, until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognized that I had to accept it. But I have erotic dreams only about men.”
Whether dating women is just a phase: “Women are what completely inspire me, and they have also been my downfall. I have only been hurt by women, my mother first of all. The thing is if I ever found a guy I could fall in love with, I’d want to marry him and have his children. And that scares me to death because I think I’m a whole bunch of crazy, and I always worry that a guy will walk away once he really, truly knows me.”
She talks a lot about the “morass” she fell into when she was in her mid-teens. She self-harmed, she was depressed and she was put on psychotropic drugs. She also says she still goes through phases where she parties too hard and bottoms out and has to go away to get her head together. I come away from this profile thinking both “oh, poor little rich girl” AND like she needs some better doctors. Like, I think she has some undiagnosed condition or anxiety disorder that would be easy enough to manage if she wasn’t constantly self-medicating with drugs and alcohol.

#RichGirlProblems
Haha! Totally. Life is soooooo tough
Wow… So if you come from money, addiction and mental illness are no biggie? The lack of empathy here is disgusting.
poor baby…she has no clue what it’s like to not have money.
Do you have a clue what it’s like to worry your mother’s gonna overdose on heroin?
I think the safety net of wealth can perpetuate addiction. I have the addict gene but my family was too poor to afford health insurance. #gotItTogetherBecauseSpaRehabWasn’tAnOption
To be fair it’s not just #RichGirlProblems for kids who grow up with a parent who suffer from heroin addiction.
Yeah rich or poor if your parents are too self absorbed to be there for you or participate in your life it’s probably not going to be easy goings for you.
@liz, I agree. She sounds like she may stuggle with depression, which can also lead to substance abuse. Money can buy resources, but the disease doesn’t care how much you’re worth. I say this as a low wage earning teacher w/a family history of untreated mental illness. Money doesn’t take the pain away. Ever.
Money doesn’t take the pain away. Ever.
But, sadly, helps a lot to get you first class medical treatment to you or others
Exactly ! It’s revolting. Rich people don’t understand that the poor one, can have as much problems that they have, minus the money that can help them !
I feel like she has Borderline Personality Disorder. That’s what I have and believe me when I say that the lows are really low. In my 20’s I tried to self medicate and one night I got so low I overdosed on sleeping pills. Luckily a friend found me before it was too late and took me to the hospital where they made sure I got the help I needed. I used to design my personality around the guys I dated and when I was dumped I didn’t know where I fit in life. I would get really, really depressed. The depression started at 8 but unlike her my parents didn’t have the inclination to care or the tools. See my Dad is an alcholic that is abusive and my Mom was always delealing with him. I wonder how her Dad dealt with her Moms heroin addiction? So her problems aren’t just #RichGirlProplems they happen to everybody regardless of class. I was a little girl in Texas that was poor and still dealt with now I’m married and have children living the Navy life and will always have to control my medication. Only she can help herself and a week on the beach is not the answer.
did you read anything about her mother? rich or poor, when you live with an addict, its a nightmare.
She looks like Kaya Scodelario on the cover.
I feel for her if she has psychological issues, but other than that, she comes across so spoiled and entitled.
Yeah, she suddenly looks about 50% prettier on that cover because they scrubbed off all the heavy eyeliner, and cleaned the grease off her face and hair…….but now that you point it out, the brunette version of Cara D looks like she could be Kaya Scodelario’s sister.
The what? Her hair always looks clean, what are you talking about.
Blah is right. Yawn cover.
And the world rolled its eyes …
She reminds me of the rich girl whom singer Jarvis Cocker makes fun of in the song “Common People”:
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you’ll never get it right
‘cos when you’re laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do what common people do
You’ll never fail like common people
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there’s nothing else to do…
Because you think that poor is cool.
Ha. Quite. To continue in lyrics mode, she probably thinks she’s slumming it these days (snigger), and imagines herself “reading the graffiti about slashed-seat affairs”.
What about?
Oh No Not Susan…
Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she’d sigh, sneak away
Look at her style, free the day
Oh no not me, I wouldn’t
Oh no not me, I couldn’t
That’s all she says, her money and her place
They just don’t mean a f–king thing
Or we could go cautionary:
Godolphin Horne was nobly born;
He held the human race in scorn,
And lived with all his sisters where
His father lived, in Berkeley Square.
And oh! the lad was deathly proud!
He never shook your hand or bowed,
But merely smirked and nodded thus:
How perfectly ridiculous!
Things rich, white people do to feel pain and get street cred – be a class tourist. At least Rachel Dolezal was creative, she became a race tourist.
I love that song! 🙂
I feel kind of bad for her. Rich or poor, whatever circumstances you grow up in, doesn’t mean you have a wonderful life, or that the people who are supposed to love you don’t hurt you instead. When she says she’s only been hurt by women “my mother first of all” makes me think there’s a lot of pain and dysfunction there. A lot of these higher class families tend to be all about image and proving to each other who is better and who has more, and often not so much about real love and family and meeting emotional needs. It sounds like she’s searching for someone to love who loves her and that she’s been in pain for a long time and has been dealing with it in the usual ways a teen/young woman does. It sounds like she wants to create the kind of family she wishes she had but is scared that she isn’t worthy…that line about marrying a man who will leave her when he gets to see the real her. That’s sad. That kind of feeling is deep and usually comes from a childhood of being shown and told you aren’t good enough. I hope that she finds confidence in her acting career and that it brings her happiness.
I grew up with plenty of upper class girls, very few of whom were happy, then or even now. Most were horribly neglected and became neurotic as a result. Daddy was always too busy with business or land management to notice anyone around him; mummy kept up a good facade for endless weekend houseguests, but drowned her sorrows privately with Gordon’s gin and an obsession with dressage.
When you’re packed off to school as a young child and universally ignored until the age of 18, it can take a deadly toll on your sense of self worth. Addictions are rife, self harming and eating disorders are common. Drugs and copious amounts of alcohol become de rigueur to mask the pain.
Cara is to be admired for finally expressing herself and living life on her own terms. I hope it eventually leads her to happiness and good health.
Agree
He mother was a heroin addict who names her daughter poppy
it doesn’t how rich or how poor you are
if you don’t have the support of a good mother you are screwed ….
and as to the comment re any teenager
i think she is gorgeous
i think she has a baby face like an angel
i like her less since she has become more amous and tried to downplay her looks
but fin the side swept hair photo above she is perfect
I f*cking LOVE that song and Different Class. Sigh. Reminds me of high school…
She means she didn’t enjoy the fox hunting, horsey side of upper class life, as exemplified by Charles and Anne Windsor. One hopes she doesn’t also mean that being a trustafarian getting fashion and acting jobs via connections is the same as no longer being upper class.
Yeah, I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe she meant that she didn’t enjoy the stuffiness and rule-oriented lifestyle of the upper class, not that she’s completely oblivious to the opportunities her privilege has afforded her.
I actually think they did a good job on pictures. I loved the black and whites, and I think she looks prettier (brows thinner?) than on most other photos I saw of her, I really don’t find her attractive usually.
All of this^
She mentioned being hurt by her mother, and so maybe she is also complaining about the culture of wealth, and not about having wealth, itself? For some reason, I’m not feeling offended by her remarks. It sounds as though there was a lot of dysfunction in her life, even though she had great advantages over others, financially. Sure it falls under rich people problems, but it also falls under ‘anyone can have the same problems’: of addiction, of family estrangement, etc.
Yes, I agree. I think it was more that money didn’t bring her happiness. But it always comes off a little wrong when a rich person, who has never been anything but, says that. She will never know what it means to be poor and vulnerable. But I don’t think she meant it in an offensive way.
Agreed– I’m not offended either. It feels like she’s being brutally honest about the life she grew up in.
Yes, I remember reading something about her mother’s drug addiction. She was addicted to heroine and went to rehab a few times during her daughter’s childhood. I can see how it could have mess them up. Cara is clearly privileged but it doesn’t mean her life has always been easy.
I can imagine that being rich, and being in a highly dysfunctional family and culture, can be extraordinarily isolating. When you are poor, you are huddled with the masses like you, at least city-wise. But of course when you are poor, you actually sit lower on Maslow’s hierarchy in terms of meeting basic needs. But that’s not to say that rich people don’t neglect kids, or fail to meet their basic needs, either.
Honestly, I don’t know why I’m over-thinking this today. Probably because I am procrastinating on other things that should get done.
@Kiddo – I love you for referencing Maslow, having slid down the pyramid several times, myself. ❤️
I too heart you for your Abe Maslow reference, Kiddo. As for overthinking, lay off the bong rips, will ya? 😉
I think I caught a contact high from Kitten, or went into a fugue state, after she mentioned Putin on another thread. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it. Anyone who disagrees gets an unopened can of Boston Baked Beans hurled at their heads.
I hear O’Kitten gets that dank sh!t. And how cruel of you– you wouldn’t even open the can of Boston Baked Beans so the can-to-head recipient could enjoy them after being assaulted by them?!?!
Kiddo, that was my reaction too. Money certainly doesn’t give you a great home life. It sounds like her family was very dysfunctional.
I’d hate that stuff n fluff lifestyle and having to hang out with poshies too. They strike me as predictable, homogeneous and boring.
I came here bearing green gifts of BBK to share with all of my self-actualizing peeps.
But now that I see the shit-talking that’s been going on behind my back, I’m outtie.
*yanks can of beans from Kiddo’s arms*
It’s pretty well known that her mother was a raging heroine addict to extent that she named her sister poppy in honour of it. She was in and out of rehab for years.
Her mother’s recovery is a miracle. That’s how bad she was.
I can’t imagine growing up with that.
Sixer: i’m reading trustafarian from this interview. And ‘common people’ is apt.
Kitten, shit talkin’? compliments all the way, baby.
@LAK She also said in the interview that her mother is not doing so great these days either. She’s clean from what I understood but struggling. I feel like that’s gonna make some mean b**ches poking fun at Cara;s problems feel better…
I’m just here to tell Sixer she was missed on yesterday’s PuddleTom post when the Thornfield ladies made a triumphant return and blessed us with their humor.
Her mother was supposedly into drugs and partying. I just think her lifestyle was probably one of absent parents. I don’t think her family is super wealthy, but they are connected and she grew up in the typical Belgravia townhouse.
Kiddo – I’m not offended by her; mostly bored but with enough minor irritation at twittishness to leave a comment, you know? Although, from what I see, she seems relatively harmless other than the usual rich kid thing of occupying opportunities for which other people are more deserving. Any entitlement would be ignorance rather than obnoxiousness? Does that make sense?
Nutballs – sorry I missed it! Big gardening month, is June. Plus, my brother is up from London and keeps expecting to have actual Real Life conversations with me, the weirdo.
Sixer, you mean a real face to face conversation, complete with expressions and infections? I’ve had a few of those — they’re okay I guess.
haha, true – even if she wasn’t a fox hunting, horsey type, her parents still have enough connections to get her foot in the door to her fashion career (very difficult to work in that field nowadays unless you are stinking rich and/or willing to live hand to mouth for years until the money comes in – every rich kid wants to be a fashion editor or stylist).
At least she’s self-aware enough not to pretend that she wasn’t posh or that privileged at all, unlike some people before her.
SIXER did you make up “trustafarian”? It’s such a brilliant term!
I’m still mulling this one over. If she lived in poverty with an addict mother and undiagnosed mental issues, would we see this differently?
It pisses me off that she says she “didn’t enjoy” the privileges of rich white money. Yes, she did. Maybe not the fox hunting or whatever, but you can be sure she enjoyed the vacations, the swimming pools, the unthinking lack of worry about paying the rent… Plus she hasn’t exactly renounced being wealthy today. Rich people are born in a bubble, and whining about it doesn’t mean they understand the extent of their privilege.
I wish I did, but no! You say potato (trust fund baby), we say trustafarian!
Like I said above, I don’t dislike the girl or anything and I really do have every sympathy with anyone whose mother was a junkie.
But her background isn’t just wealthy; it’s aristo too. And to speak disparagingly of aristo country culture is fair enough – but what isn’t fair enough is to make it sound as though she’s rejected her background altogether. If she’d done that, she wouldn’t have been the most pushed model in recent times and she certainly wouldn’t be getting cast in acting roles. Her background and connections got that for her. To make it sound as though she’s left it behind and it’s in her past – well, that’s simply not true. She’s worked her background to get her career. Simple as. That’s fine, but making it sound as though she hasn’t done that isn’t fine.
I am sensitive to this because of the current conditions for aspiring actors and artists in the UK just now. You might have seen some of the discussions we’ve had on here about arts subsidies being removed, thus potentially shutting out working class students from future careers? So y’know. I just wish trustafarians (!) would own the connections that got them where they are.
She looks so out of place on that cover. They tried to go for soft and feminine with her styling, but it looks so strange on her. That’s Emma Stone styling, when they should have gone more for Rihanna.
I don’t know, I actually like it. I think it’s the nicest I’ve seen her look. She looks… clean somehow.
She usually has a grubby somewhat unwashed appearance, and I imagine her as needing deodorant but nobody having the nerve to say anything because she wouldn’t take it well and would mean girl them forever.
So she didn’t like the whole parties and horse racing thing growing up…wait, scratch that, just not the horses, because she obviously loves partying.
#poorlittlerichgirl
Funny how all these people who hated their rich upper crust upbringing certainly seem to enjoy all the benefits and never seem to break out of that mold, despite the means and ability to do so…..
I wonder if she hates the career, money, and fame that she wouldn’t have without her hated upbringing?
I never found her attractive but she looks really nice on that cover. I think she tries to hard to be cool and edgy its annoying
Yeah, the cover look actually emphasises her eyes and lips in a softer way, when normally she’s all crazy huge brows and cheekbones. It’s a good change on her.
Don’t understand how she is a model. I’m always underwhelmed when I see a pic of her.
I don’t get her at all, either. I don’t think she’s particularly attractive, she seems generally wooden and when I hear her speak, comes off as not very likeable.
Me three.
I do think she just want to relate to people who are not inthe spoils of the rich and famous. I sure Cara may think this is reassuring. But, let’s face it, Cara, you are rich and you do sound like a Spoiled brat. If she does want to come down onto some rich high horse to relate to us normal folk, I would appreciate that you are greatful of you privileges of he upper class and then give back to people who are not.
FWIW her mother had a raging heroin addiction, so posh or not, that really can’t have been fun for the poor kid.
Even Cara is a drug addict. She was also photographed with cocaine last year
That was over 2 years ago.
So, I grew up spending a lot of time with some super-rich WASPy people. My dad’s side of the family is wealthy, while we ourselves were upper middle-class, but particularly because of my mom’s middle class side, just not culturally like that at all. I understand that it seems like complaining about wealth, but I can feel her. I despise the arrogant, self-satisfied, blue-blood atmosphere in the town where my grandparents and cousins “summered”. I imagine it is a whole level of extra in Britain with actual aristocrats. I can’t complain because my grandparents paid for my college, and I adore my family, but so many of the other people around there make my skin crawl.
Yeah, I don’t get the “poor little rich girl”-snark in this particular case. She didn’t say anything like that. I really dislike it when people dismiss someone else’s problems/complaints because they think they had it worse. It’s smug and unkind and what’s the point? By this logic, all of us in the first world should shut up.
On a sidenote, I like how Cara is going about her sexuality. She’s open, but she doesn’t make a big deal out of it. I like her for some reasons, she’s one of the more interesting ‘it girls’, I think.
Agree to all of this
To be fair, attractive young women (esp rich, connected ones) have the liberty of having a same sex relationship without the social or career stigma that would face a young man. Plus she’s assuring us that when she meets the right man, she’ll opt for the conventional hetero life ie. she’ll outgrow all this lesbian stuff. It’s kinda clueless & disingenuous to me. I hope her GF runs far, far away if she’s in any way emotionally invested in this nitwit.
Rafa – I don’t know if I agree that being a lesbian is necessarily easier than being a gay male in this culture. The whole “two girls” concept may be a thing, but it’s a thing as far its a sexual fantasy that promotes the idea of women as objects. I’ve met plenty of women whose sexuality is degraded or outright denied by men who view their lesbian identity as a plea for attention, and that’s not even getting into the boundless amounts of misogyny in the LGBT community. The key here is really the money and fame, as well as the fortune of being born in an era where the question of gender and sexuality is now allowed in the public forum. At the end of the day, being lesbian doesn’t make it any easier to get your marriage legally recognized in most places, anyhow.
The idea that she’ll “outgrow” the lesbian thing feels more disingenuous to me than her own claims. It’s more likely that sexuality is a lot more fluid and less easily defined than we like to pretend it is. She’s young and still figuring things out.
I don’t know. Your comment just really rubbed me wrong, I guess? I’m a queer woman who has dated both men and women, and I encounter way too many people who discount my “lesbian” experiences because I’m currently in a heterosexual relationship. The relationships I had with women were still meaningful regardless of who I ultimately ended up with.
I guess I could see her appeal in a Daisy from Great Gatsby kind of context, but considering the fact that she comes off equally as sympathetic as the character in the book I’m going to just hope that she peppers her reality with some real world perspective since she hates being upper class so much. Despite her talk of bubbles I’m not entirely convinced she’s broken out of them as much as she thinks she has.
I find it dangerous when someone who is in the limelight shares so much about personal matters, especially about mental health. In the future this conversation may be used as an explanation of her behaviour and will be brought up in interviews. I would guess that will be uncomfortable.
I guess she thinks partying like crazy is normal but most people her age are busting their asses in uni and working to make ends meet. Not much time for crazy parties then…
Sure, young people don’t party. Especially in Britain….
That’s what annoyed the hell out of me. Most people at this age are studying and working hard to get a better life in the future.
hmm seems as if she has the stupidity of the upper class = a few crumbs held together by a lot of dough
Poor little rich girl. When you have no real problems and so many opportunities you have to actually create drama/angst. Blah.
Right. Because you decide what “real problems” are and you also lived her life? Or, at least, know her personally?
Haven’t you heard? If you have money, your world is automatically rainbows and butterflies.
Being rich does not guarantee eternal happiness, let alone exceptional mental and/or emotional health. I appreciate her honesty and hope she’s okay, and that she’s able to ask for help if she needs to. She may seem a bit annoying sometimes, but I don’t think she’s a bad person.
Geez, the girl grew up with a herion addicted mother who she says is “still” struggling. Give the girl a break. She has a learning disability as well, which had to make the school years horrid. She spent much of her childhood in therapy. So what if her family has some money. It sounds as though she didn’t have a very happy, wholesome upbringing. Having an addict mother will mess you up for life. I do feel for her. No wonder she is the way she is…..
This.
Looks like most people here just can’t see straight from the jealousy
The dress (?) on the cover looks incredibly cheap–I’m sure it’s not, but the fabric appears to be polyester, and those…appliqués are terrible. American Vogue is such an embarrassment.
Bland cover it is, but unkept she is not.
And not liking horse racing doesn’t make anyone “complaining” type. I find it dead boring topped only by fishing.
She thinks to be an actress LMAO
They groomed her eyebrows for this photoshoot it seems.
What’s the problem here? She’s not complaining about being rich. She just didn’t like the snobs she had to deal with. Isn’t that a good thing? that she recognized them as assh*les? She is being asked about her life and she is being honest. Sometimes people who grow up with no money can really have a chip on their shoulder. My family had nothing, i am always anxious about money and whether or not i’ll have enough to make rent and other bills. My best friend is engaged to a brain surgeon and my other best friend has parents worth millions as they sold real estate. I’m not going to dismiss their worries and issues just because they are rich. Everything is relative.
Cara seems like she can be a bit unstable and her dating a rock star who is 10 years older than her might not end so well …
I like her. I follow her on Instagram. I think when she is in full model styling she is striking and beautiful.
Her photo spread with Hiddleston was glorious.
She reminds me so much of a young Susan Dey (from the Partridge Family)…showing my age now, but…
I watched Partridge Family reruns as a teen and I have thought this from the very second I saw Cara!! I’m so glad someone else sees it too! It’s the mouth I think.
Funny…I was JUST about to say the same thing, almost word for word! She looks like Susan, TOTALLY.
Honestly, I don’t mind it – it’s been a long time since US Vogue had a model on its covers, and she is one of the few who’s actually got to first-name recognisable status these days.
And yes, she does come off as a wee bit poor little rich girl, but I’d still take an interview like this over the platitude-ridden “I am sooo inspired by fashion and my mommy raided vintage Chanel in thrift stores with me in utero!” types who scramble to find a printable reason why a fashion magazine should put them on its cover. And it sounds like her mother was not exactly sober, which could easily leave anyone very messed up even if she is the granddaughter of a Viscount.
Why is she a thing? And why is she still happening??
She’s trying to be an actress now LOL
Aren’t they all?! Ugh. Blow over already.
I love St. Vincent. I can’t believe she dates this retread.
Just read the whole article. She talks about her mother’s heroin addiction and how she went through a period of depression as a teenager and felt guilty because she knew that she was “a lucky girl”. It’s a good read, the excerpts above don’t do her justice.
I understand what she is saying even though I am sure people are going to mock her. Not everyone enjoys the high society lifestyle, getting decked out , judged for your appearance and comportment or potentially your broodmare genes (if you know what I mean), going through the motions, doing small talk. All of it is so meaningless.
But…..and here is a big but, as a rich person you have resources to make choices and you can choose to say no to this kind of lifestyle. Most people don’t have such resources and often have to do things they don’t enjoy just to put food on the table. But, I guess , as a rich kid you are stuck until you rich majority i.e. 18 y.o. and that could be trying. But it is not harder than growing up with a tiger mom . ))
It’s interesting that you wrote her last name correctly in the heading, you omitted the n before the g. This is how it should be, as it is obviously a French name with a spelling mistake picked up at the registrar. Originally her name was probably Delavigne.
As a French, I always cringe when I read her actual name: Delevingne.
Don’t know why but i like Cara. But i don’t want to hear rich girl problems. And by problems, fitting in and happen to stumble into modeling instantly. But as for her issues, Kaiser i happen to agree, she’s got some undiagnosed issues. Lively and real girl though. AND yes, give Taraji a cover already.
I like when people own their crazy. I might warm to her eventually. Shes such a f@*ked up piece of wonderful mess, but she owns it.
OMG I didn’t know about her and St. Vincent. SO COOL!
I didn’t catch a whiny tone in her comments, she just seemed to state a fact.
Every time someone automatically dismisses the non enjoyable aspects of a certain kind of life with “poor little rich white girl”, Christina Onassis comes to mind.
She was mocked for her cycle of depression/med abuse/marriage failures/diets(come on, being unhappy when you’re that rich and connected,how dare she).
And contrary to C.Delevingne she hadn’t modelling in her options.
Of course, when she died alone before reaching 40, the tune changed, sympathetic comments poured (probably by the same). So, I give a pass to this girl on this one.
I appreciate that she acknowledges her wealthy upbringing, but I can see why her comment rubs a lot of people wrong. This being said, her discussion of her teen years combined with what we know about her hard partying speaks to a lot of unresolved psychological issues, the kind a wealthy, upper class family might downplay for years to keep up appearances, perhaps.
Angry Baby.
she just looks so basic and uninteresting, nothing unique about her look. Just average pretty. I wish Vogue would open up their covers to the drop-dead gorgeous Persian, -Indian, Middle-Eastern beauties of the world. But scouts usually don’t look for these types which means we have to settle for seeing any other vanilla girl made into a “super-model”. Seriously half these girls would have no chance if we get more diversity.
Love her as a photographic model, but definitely not a fan of her on the runway – especially not as a Victoria Secret Angel (who are dull and boring anyway)
I still don’t like her and her typical model-like pursuit of an acting career, but c’mon, I can’t say she doesn’t have any right to be sad just because of money, we all struggle. I wouldn’t trade my mother’s upbringing of me for no money in this world, let alone a heroin addicted mom.
Superficial note: She should be always blonde, or have some of blonde in her hair. The all-darker color makes her face… smaller, I guess.
