Cover Look
ast year, Teen Vogue photographed then 16-year-
old Ella Yelich-O’Connor for her first photo shoot in
America, atop the Empire State Building in New York
City. Flash forward seven months and we’re in eclectic
Austin, Texas, the live-music capital of the world, shoot-
ing now superstar Lorde for her first Teen Vogue cover. It
was only fitting that the two-time Grammy winner, who
traveled to the States for the start of her North American
tour, headline our annual music issue.
The singer showed up to our studio location in
high spirits with her mom in tow, and loved the manga-
influenced looks stylist Tony Irvine pulled for her. “It’s an
honor being on the cover of Teen Vogue,” she said. “To-
day’s shoot was inspired by Patti Smith and PJ Harvey
and other weird girls in music, which is good because
I’m obviously a weirdo!” During her session with pho-
tographer and fellow New Zealander Gregory Harris,
the songstress played tracks from Haim, Daft Punk,
and Animal Collective. And when the shoot wrapped,
she went straight to rehearsal for her tour, making it
known on her way out that she was a bit nervous. But
nerves certainly didn’t get the best of her—after hang-
ing out with Lorde backstage before her show at the
famed Austin Music Hall, we watched her stun the
crowd with her voice and stage presence. We see no
end in sight for this rocker’s rule.

beautyCover Look
n her hit song “Royals,” Lorde sings about not
needing the luxuries associated with the rich
and famous. How apropos, then, that our hair
and makeup team decided on the bare essentials
for her Teen Vogue cover. “Lorde is known for
wearing a dark lip and a great eyeliner,” explains
makeup pro Benjamin Puckey. (More on how to
get that look below!) “But the stylist pulled very
high-fashion pieces together, so we wanted to
keep the beauty feeling fresh.”
Puckey perfected Lorde’s skin with
foundation, concealing where needed, and filled
in her brows. To finish, he traded in the singer’s
go-to blackened plum lipstick for a nude shade—
“but she made a point about not liking her lips too
shiny,” he says, “so we went with matte.”
Tasked with touching up Lorde’s free-
flowing mane was hair guru Esther Langham. “We
didn’t want to change the texture too much,” she
says, “so we sprayed a heat protectant at the roots,
then dried it to give it some hold.” Afterward
Langham used a small curling iron on certain
strands to help shape and define her waves, adding
moisture at the ends with a styling cream.
But Lorde’s penchant for dark colors did
shine through—on her nails. After two coats of
shimmery burgundy polish were applied, our
cover star broke into a smile. “I get a manicure,
too!” she exclaimed. Not bad for a day’s work.

Lorde has a confession to make: “I used to buy makeup at the dollar store,” she says. “But one of my first save-up purchases was a M.A.C. lipstick.” The color, ironically, was a pale pink called Snob, a far cry from the performer’s now signature plum pout. “My makeup artist, Amber, is with M.A.C., and we’ve been mixing custom colors for a
while. But I wanted something versatile,” she says. Enter M.A.C. x Lorde, a limited-edition makeup duo starring a dark purple lipstick and a liquid eyeliner (“with a fine point!”) that will give you a
high-impact—if slightly moody—look, just like our cover star’s.
The singer’s makeup collab is a gorgeous marriage of goth and glam.

Letter fromthe Editor
“RHYTHM NATION,” PAGE 130
became certifiably obsessed with ballet at age 11—really late
to start professional training. I reluctantly quit when I was 18
(I just wasn’t good enough to make it, and in that harsh art
you’ve got to face the facts), but my passion for dance
remained unshakable. That’s why I am superexcited to
announce a new series on the Teen Vogue YouTube channel
called Strictly Ballet. We had the unprecedented opportunity
to follow six students at Manhattan’s prestigious and
überselective School of American Ballet (SAB), the feeder
school for the illustrious New York City Ballet, for several
months. Our cameras went into SAB’s ballet studios and dorms,
and the result is an insider’s slice of life that demonstrates what
it truly takes for artists to pursue their dreams in the city. The
charm and charisma of the kids should appeal to more people
than just the bunheads out there—I certainly hope so! Teen
Vogue has always stood for finding, developing, and
celebrating young talent: models, actors, singers, musicians. I
am really thrilled that we could get behind dancers this time—
they are so dedicated, so magical, and so deserving of more
attention than they currently receive in our twerked-out
culture. In this issue, we showcase other types of dancers, too,
including Beyoncé’s mesmerizing mirror-image backup boys,
Les Twins (the only guys in her tour troupe!), and the out-of-
this-world Memphis jooker Lil Buck, who is my personal
favorite and is making his debut at Lincoln Center this month.

OK, so Lorde. It’s our music issue, and she
is the ultimate. What’s not to admire? I love this
17-year-old prodigy’s songs, her voice, her
message, her defiant stance about conforming
to expectations, and, as she puts it, her
“realness.” She gave style features director
Andrew Bevan one of the best interviews I have
ever read in Teen Vogue: extremely candid,
covering every pressing teen topic from acne
and Twitter to spending a lot of time in her
room and...being a loser? (Her words—
definitely not mine.) Lorde is
a winner in all respects, and I
applaud her for keeping it
real. Long may she reign....

gia coppolaFresh from directing her first full-lengthfilm, Palo Alto, Gia Coppola takes another turn behind the camera with Jack Kilmerfor “He’s All That” (page 102). As the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola and niece of Sofia, directing is clearly inGia’s blood—but photography is what shefell in love with first. “One of my favorite photographers, Stephen Shore, was aprofessor at Bard College, and I knew thatI just needed a great teacher,” she says of her decision to take up the art. But it
wasn’t long before Gia decided to expand her visualstorytelling. “Filmmaking is like an extension of photogra-phy, but with more things to play with,” she notes. Now that her first major project, starringlongtime friend Jack, has beencompleted, Gia is back to thedrawing board. “I’ve been writing a lot,” she tells us. “And I’m enjoying taking pictures again.”
It’s hard to believe that Sir John didn’t come out of the womb wielding a mascara wand, but the makeup master actually got
his start in the realm of fine arts. “I was taking studio art classesat 7 years old,” he remembers. Fast-forward a few years and he’s now one of the most sought-after makeup artists in the
business—but his background still informs his work each day. “You have a much broader view of what beauty can encom-
pass,” he explains. Sir John’s unique approach has earned him a host of devoted fans, including the one and only Queen Bey.
He worked his magic on Beyoncé’svisage for Tom Ford’s spring 2011
fashion show and was later asked tojoin her team as the official makeup
artist on The Mrs. Carter Show WorldTour—talk about landing the job of a
lifetime! In this issue, he gives Teen
Vogue beauty and health directore
Elaine Welteroth the royal treatmentin “Yoncéfied” (page 106), transform-
ing her look from head to toe. Where do we sign up?

jacques d’amboise“I know about the arts, especially dance and music, and one
should always have them in their life,” Jacques d’Amboise says.It was this belief that led the former New York City Ballet
principal dancer to establish the National Dance Institute, anonprofit organization that teaches dance to public school
children the world over. Jacques was in the midst of his impres-sive career when he started the program in New York City in
1976, driven by a passion for sharing the joy that dance hadbrought to his own life—not to mention the lessons it taught
him about dedication, discipline, hard work, and big dreams. “The arts open your heart and mind to
possibilities that are limitless,” Jacques has said. “They are
pathways that touch our brains and emotions and bring sustenance to imagination.” Viewing him with a
group of his students in our dance portfolio (“Rhythm Nation,”
page 130), it’s easy to see that his enthusiasm is contagious.
Songstress Sky Ferreira hasalways been interested in thetransformative power of beauty—she began to experi-
ment with her look after studying photographs of classic icons. “I kept
copying Brigitte Bardot and Nico’s cat-eye liner. I
learned how to do makeup just through
pictures,” she says. The talented musician, whosedebut album, Night Time, My Time, was released in October, draws strength from mixing things up,particularly when she’s onstage. Her go-to perfor-rrmance product? “Lipstick is a big one,” she says. Sky recently made a major change to her mane, letting superstar stylist Guido Palau give her a new ’do.
“When I cut it for the first time, it made me feel more confident,” she reveals. “With Guido, I knew it was a special haircut—it’s like art.” In “Tough Love,” tress-tamer Shon highlights Sky’s inner chameleon by taking her locks from long and blonde to short and dark, and everything in between. “The looks were so different,but I really liked all of them,” she says of the shoot.“Teen Vogue is always cool and fun.”e

AGE: 27HOMETOWN: New York City
JOB: “I’m a stylist and
an art director.”
hen I was growing up in New
York City in the late 1990s and
early 2000s, there was a real shop
culture. Visiting stores like Patricia Field and
Canal Jeans is what drew me to fashion. I
went to Savannah College of Art and Design
and majored in motion media design, then
transferred to the School of Visual Arts in
New York City to study graphic design. No
matter how many times I’ve tried to steer
my path in a different direction, it always
comes back to fashion.
In high school I interned for a shop in
the East Village called The Good The Bad
and The Ugly, where I did everything from
run errands to help craft accessories. My big
w
IN THE MIX“My on-the-job style is
completely unpredictable. One day I’ll be in baggy
jeans and work boots, and the next in a
miniskirt and heels,” Haley says. She wears an Alexander Wang
coat and shoes. Her own Prada top and pants.

break came from a chance meeting with the singer M.I.A. when I was 18 and
assisting a friend of hers. It was one of her first shows in New York City. We
connected instantly, and she later took me on tour with her as a creative assis-
tant. It was a life-changing experience that really defined my aesthetic.
Now, almost 10 years after that first meeting, I’m working with incredible
artists like Drake and Blood Orange, which is an absolute dream. I love hand-
making things, and I’m able to take that passion to a whole other level by
working with designers like Italo Zucchelli, at Calvin Klein Collection, and
Alexander Wang to create custom looks for Drake’s tour and performances.
Styling Miley Cyrus in the ‘23’ video last year was a pretty epic moment for
me. I designed pieces out of Michael Jordan’s jerseys. I was a total sneakerhead
as a teen, so styling a video about ‘J’s on my feet’ was a blast.
I don’t have a job where I show up at the office every day. Sometimes I’m
on set, other times I’m with an artist on tour, and a lot of the time I’m in my
studio, catching up on e-mails and administrative work. When it’s time for the
creative part, I start by making mood boards. Often accompanied by written
descriptions, these visual references communicate my concept to the client. I try
to take my inspiration from real life and my surroundings. There is so much
content at our fingertips.
As a stylist you have to be prepared to get bruised and break a nail. It
takes an insane amount of hard work and multitasking to make it in this
business. But most importantly, you can’t be afraid to get creative. There are no
limits to what you can do!”

REFERENCE POINT“I am inspired by everything from
the streets to the library,” Haley says. “I’m a big fan of a long,
hard Google image search, too.” Miu Miu cardigan and top. Her

Jane’s Style File
BLURREDLINES
n an era when Kanye West raps
onstage in leather kilts and straight-
off-the-women’s-runway Céline
silk shirts, and girls from Cara
Delevingne to Alexa Chung count
tuxedo jackets as a wardrobe staple,
is the idea of womenswear and
menswear completely antiquated?
On a recent Saturday, the
fashion-forward recording artist
Dominic Lord and I decide to swap
the clothes off our backs in the
name of research. Let me preface by
clarifying: I’m not a tomboy. My
signature silhouette is a nipped-
waist skirt or dress, and I love a high
heel. That said, I am always looking
for ways to cool-up or de-priss my
wardrobe staples and have long
turned to tailored button-downs
and oversize men’s watches as
go-tos. On set, I find a short-sleeve
shirt from menswear label Patrik
Ervell with just-boxy-enough
proportions to man up my Dolce
i
SKIRTING THE ISSUEJane wears a Patrik Ervell shirt, $320. Sophia Webster for J. Crew shoes. Dominic, whose single “War Zone” recently hit the airwaves, wears a Calvin Klein Collection T-shirt. Hood by Air kilt, $360. ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo sweatpants, $226. Details, see In This Issue. PHOTOGRAPHED BY JEFF HENRIKSON.
Raiding the opposite sex’s closet doesn’t have to be a drag. Jane Keltner de Valle and hip-hop artist Dominic Lord master the new gender-bending mix.

Vita–style black lace skirt. For a cheeky
touch, I tuck the top between the skirt
and the underslip so the shirttails peek
through. Boy, meet girl.
Not that skirts are exclusively for
women these days. At least, not when
they’re black or camo and crafted from
near-bulletproof, army-navy-issue
cotton. Or when street-savvy
menswear brands like Hood by Air,
Public School, and KTZ are designing
them especially for boys (think
razor-straight cuts and waistbands that
sit low on the hips). Dom slips one on.
“African fighters used to go to battle in
these,” he informs me, adding with a
wink, “I did my research.” Of course,
some prejudices die hard. When I refer
to said piece as a skirt, he quickly
corrects me. “I prefer to call them kilts.”
Duly noted. Next he slips on a
bejeweled baseball jacket from Marni.
“Can I keep this?” he half jokes.
We are having so much fun
cross-dressing, in fact, that we decide
to reconnect at New York Fashion
Week. Front row at the Richard Chai
show, Dom admits to having traded a
men’s denim pant for a women’s one.
“It’s meant to be baggy,” he says, “but
the men’s ones are just too baggy.” His
slim build makes him a model
candidate for this new way of swap-
dressing. His criteria for shopping the
opposite sex’s wardrobe: “It has to
have a unisex feel.” The next day, at
the Jason Wu show, Dom nudges
me as an oversize leather bomber
goes past us. Then again, when a
bordeaux jacket, with a drop-waist and
an exaggerated collar, appears. “I
would wear that and that…” he says,
literally shopping the runway. He
texts an image of a favorite look to
his girlfriend.
“Does she ever raid your closet?”
I ask. “Oh, yeah, she takes everything,”
he says with a shrug. Looks like the
favor is about to be returned.
NET BENEFITSMarni jacket. BLK DNM sweatshirt, $215, and T-shirt, $95. Gents cap, $98. Gigi Burris Millinery veil, $220.
Tuxes for her. Skirts
for him. Welcome
to the new normal.

WHO’S THAT GIRL?Australian-born singer Betty Who will be your next pop obsession.
f you’re one of the nearly 12 million
people who’ve seen the viral video of
a Salt Lake City gay couple getting
engaged in a Home Depot, then you’ve
heard Betty Who. It unofficially launched
Betty’s crazy-catchy song “Somebody
Loves You,” ushering the 22-year-old onto
the worldwide stage.
“I was shocked, overwhelmed, and
teary,” she says of watching the video for
the first time. “And by teary, I mean, like,
weeping. A lot. It’s amazing to have been
part of something so sweet and
beautiful.” (Even sweeter? Betty sang at
the guys’ wedding—and in late February,
“Somebody” hit number one on the
Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.) It
makes sense that her music has become
the giddy soundtrack to so many lives.
“My goal is to make you happy,” she says.
Born in Sydney as Jessica Anne
Newham, Betty first picked up a cello in
kindergarten. Later, she taught herself to
play piano and guitar. When she was 16,
she moved to the States, where she
attended Michigan’s prestigious
Interlochen Arts Academy. This spring,
the singer releases her second EP, Slow
Dancing, and her album debuts this fall.
So what sets her apart from most of the
current reigning queens of pop music
(aside from the fact that she’s six-foot-one
and has a chic platinum pixie cut)? Betty
writes or co-writes all her music. And
unlike some stars on the loose, she’s got a
family who keeps her in check. “I’m very
in touch with reality,” Betty says. “My
parents promised to never let me become
a bad person.” —ALISON PRATO
i
BRIGHT STARBetty wears a Noir Noir T-shirt, $150. Gap jeans, $70. Dream Collective stud earrings, $88, and bracelet, $120. Nikki Montoya necklaces, $50–$120 each. Details, see In This Issue. PHOTOGRAPHED BY CLARKE TOLTON.

hen Rolling Stones scions
Georgia May Jagger and
Alexandra and Theodora
Richards invited me to escape the New York
City polar vortex to be their one-man
entourage in sunny Miami, on the set of
their Sunglass Hut campaign together, I was
more than happy to oblige. The fun-loving
threesome’s endless, quirky chemistry was
being put to good use for the retailer, which
carries dozens of labels of ultracool specs.
“A lot of people think we are pretending and
don’t believe we’re friends, but we’ve
known Georgia since she came out of the
belly,” Theodora says. Alexandra, who DJs,
adds, “I still see her as a little girl, but she’s
sort of growing up.” Theodora concurs.
“She’s a woman!” she says just as bombshell
Georgia playfully flutters onto the set as if
on cue, ethereally spinning in circles.
Since I’m obviously not music-legend
offspring, I’m curious about how they
perceive their upbringing, which included
touring with their pops Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards. “It’s a help and a hindrance,”
Georgia states. Theodora further explains,
“It wasn’t our choice, and I don’t know any
different—but it was amazing.” And does
she rock or roll her eyes when a Stones song
comes on at a party? “I totally dance around
and even want it on louder,” Theodora says.
Don’t expect these girls to always
live up to their rock-star-daughter image,
however. “Last night we ate sushi and
tried to watch Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs 2, which is exactly the same as
the first one,” exclaims Georgia during
the ice cream–fueled summery shoot,
which included Hula-Hooping and
roller-skating, wearing sunnies all the
while. “There’s a certain fun sense of
incognito with the perfect pair,”
Theodora says.
As the girls prepare to
cannonball into a pool for their final
shot, it’s clear this isn’t just a typical day
in the office for any of us. “You have to
have fun,” Georgia says. “People
forget about that and take fashion too
seriously.” She then pulls down her
(very literal) rose-colored glasses to
reveal a flirty wink before jumping
straight into the watery blue. —A.B.

almost feel like it would be more expected for me to
do something where I’m hunched over my guitar in my
bedroom rather than a grandiose, big project like this one,”
says Jack Antonoff, better known as the lead guitarist for
multiplatinum band Fun. “But Bleachers—it’s not apologetic,
it’s not reactionary. Sometimes you just have different bodies of
work you want to make.” So that’s what Jack did. Between
co-writing with the likes of Taylor Swift and Sara Bareilles,
promoting the LGBTQ nonprofit The Ally Coalition (which he
cofounded), and starring in fashion films for his sister, designer
Rachel Antonoff, he found time to write an album while on tour
with Fun. “It started to feel like something that needed to exist,”
he explains, “so I put my head down and kept working on it.”
One listen to the first single, “I Wanna Get Better,” and you
know the forthcoming record will be jam-packed with
summer’s biggest anthems. Apart from a little star power
here and there (“Yoko Ono is everything I dreamed she’d
be”), these tracks are pure, unadulterated Jack, from the
energetic vocals to the synth-pop percussion. “There are a
lot of things in the album that would take someone else 10
minutes to do and took me 10 hours,” he says. “It’s cooler
to do it yourself.” And if you’re wondering what’s next for
Mr. Antonoff, you’re in good company. “I hope that
whatever I’m doing in five years would be a big shock to me
now,” he says. “If I can predict it, I don’t want to be doing it.”
Here’s to the unknown. —CHANTAL STRASBURGER

s our cover girl, Lorde, puts it, “It feels like an
awesome time right now in terms of kick-ass
girls producing cool stuff.” These days, we’re
saying goodbye to one-dimensional pop tarts and
making way for another type of female vocalist. “I like to
create different genres for each of my albums,” says
up-and-comer Chantal Claret. “I refer to my new record
as ‘gothabilly,’ and my last record was ‘punk-rock soul.’”
Swedish singer Tove Lo has a more consistent style with
her work: “I say I’m ‘raw dirty pop.’ To me, that means
honest lyrics, drums in your face, and emotional vocals.”
These leading ladies continue to turn heads by
embracing their dynamic personalities. “Staying true to
myself and not giving in to mainstream media has
always been the most important thing to me,” says
singer-songwriter Meg Myers. So go ahead and update
your playlist with these music mavericks—and get a
healthy dose of spunk while you’re at it. ÑC.S.

THE MIX MASTER As a child in Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, Mapei grew up on
hip-hop, but after moving to Stockholm
at the age of 10, she began listening to
music that matched her new surround-
ings. “Radiohead set the mood for my
dark winters in Sweden,” she remem-
bers. With a debut album due out this
summer, Mapei has been hard at work
crafting a signature sound that incorpo-
rates everything from rock-guitar riffs to
baile funk drums, a product of her
particular upbringing. “It is challenging
to write something that’s in your head
and put it on a record,” she says of the
process. “But when it comes out of my
soul the right way, it’s so rewarding.”
THE GROUNDBREAKER SZA’s voice
is light as air on one note, powerful as
thunder the next. So it’s no surprise
that her idols include artists as varied
as jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald and the
always-experimental Björk. “Those
who’ve influenced me were pioneers,
the very first to do what they were
doing,” she notes. With an impressive
oeuvre and a brand-new debut album,
Z, the modern songstress is defying
genres herself, laying down rich beats
and raw, emotional verses that are all
her own. “I hope my honesty resonates
and makes people not feel so alone,”
she says. “We’re all just trying to figure
it out.” —ALEXANDRA THURMOND
THE STORYTELLER Yuna is already a
megastar in her native Malaysia, but
with her album Nocturnal climbing the
international charts, she’s set to take the
world by storm. Yuna’s impassioned
lyrics are inspired by her own experi-
ences: lost loves, heartbreak, and
learning to live life on her own
terms. “I feel like each song could be a
soundtrack,” she says. “I want to make
music that will be good for my heart—
and hopefully for everyone else’s.”BO

MOSCHINO’S MAKEOVER
➤
“What sets Moschino apart from other fashion
houses is that it has humor in its DNA,” says Jeremy
Scott, the newly appointed creative director of the
famed Italian brand. Naturally the witty designer fit right
in—for his debut at Milan Fashion Week, he sent down the
runway a fall collection that featured everything from
SpongeBob SquarePants puffers to candy-bar-wrapper
evening gowns, complete with nutrition facts.
Since its founding in 1983, Moschino has been
known for tongue-in-cheek designs. (Looks including a
teddy bear–covered dress and a T-shirt bearing the words
“Good Taste Doesn’t Exist” have graced the label’s
catwalk over the years.) This season, following the brand’s
legacy of rooting collections in pop culture, Scott
WorldMags.netWorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
merged concepts of fast food and fast fashion by
making a selection of McDonald’s-inspired pieces
available for sale online directly after the show
(and creating quite a social media frenzy in
the process).
Looking back to Moschino’s
heritage, Scott says he was influenced by
rappers like Biggie Smalls and Lil’ Kim,
who immortalized the brand in their
lyrics in the ’90s. So who better to try
out the collection than up-and-coming
Swedish musician Elliphant? The singer,
who has an album dropping this year and a
single, “Revolusion,” out this month, says her
style right now is pretty basic. But for
Moschino, she was willing to step outside her
comfort zone. “The pieces are a little over-the-
top, but in this age you could wear them
anywhere. There are no rules!” she says.
Scott couldn’t agree more. “The
Moschino girl may laugh too loudly or
dance too wildly, but she doesn’t care
what other people think,” he says.
Perhaps that explains why major pop
stars like Katy Perry and Rihanna turn to
Scott for their eye-catching tour costumes.
His goal for the future of Moschino?
“To make it the coolest brand in the
world.” —VICTORIA LEWIS

two go way back—Gia was once Jack’s “buddy” at school
when he was in kindergarten—and he gladly accepted the
lead role of Teddy in her buzzy film, adapted from James
Franco’s short-story collection of the same name.

Jack and Palo Alto costar Emma Roberts
WITH GIA COPPOLA
Hollywood demands more than a shared last name—
it requires actual talent. Jack’s turn in the coming-of-
age flick (which also features Franco, Nat Wolff, and
Zoe Levin) proves he has it in spades.
“Filming was so fun because we all had the
creative control to suggest ideas. Some of them even
ended up on-screen!” he says. Gia adds, “Jack is a
natural, and Val and I made sure this was his film.”
Jack’s honest portrayal of a troublemaking teen trying
to find his way stems from an innate understanding of
his character’s world, which shifts from the classroom
to the passenger seat of his pal’s car to the houses of
friends whose parents are conveniently out of town.
“I think most people have experienced at least one of
those parties,” Jack says with a laugh. There’s no lack
of awkward romantic moments, either, as Teddy
haplessly tries to win the affection of April (played
by Roberts). “People who have problems with
relationships can relate,” he explains.
While he grew up visiting movie sets, Jack
characterizes his first time in front of the camera
as a different experience entirely. “What goes on
between the actor and director is sacred,” he says,
adding that the one-on-one time helped make his
Teen Vogue shoot, photographed by Gia, a breeze. “I’m
really comfortable around her.” Having Franco as a
castmate was an added bonus. “He is a pretty inspired
guy,” Jack says.
Aside from a big career break, Jack credits
the movie with bringing his family even closer
together (his mother, Joanne Whalley, acts as well).
“We already get on well, but now we relate on a
whole other level,” he reveals. “I realize just how
talented my parents are now that I’ve done this
myself.” —ANTHONY ROTUNNO
BECKY’S GOT THE BEATShe writes, raps, dances, and has powerhouse pipes—Becky G is storming the music scene. On Becky G’s breakout track, “Becky from the Block,” she sings, “Always had a little but I want a lot.” If “a lot” includes a record deal, a hit song, and a CoverGirl campaign, then she’s well on her way.
It all started in 2011, when the now 17-year-old formerly known as Rebbeca Marie Gomez posted a clever cover of Jay Z and Kanye West’s “Otis” on YouTube and caught the ear of superstar producer Dr. Luke. Impressed with Becky’s triple-threat talent (rapping, singing, and songwriting), he signed her on the spot. “The ink dried right after I turned 15, and I’ve been working on my debut album ever since,” Becky says.
There’s no stopping her now: Becky has collaborated with everyone from Pitbull to Cody Simpson and was tapped to become a CoverGirl in the summer of 2013. “It’s a dream come true,” she exclaims.
But no matter where Becky goes next, she knows where she came from. “I feel really lucky,” she shares. “I had humble beginnings, and I want people to see that if you aspire to do something, you can accomplish it—as long as you believe in yourself.” —AVERY SPOFFORD

girl-of-the-moment Birdy, one of the U.K.’s most

Fire Within, which was “influenced by meeting new
people, trying new things, and having new experiences,”
she says. It’s the perfect soundtrack, then, for letting your
hair down and dancing the night away with friends. We’d
add that such festivities call for an easy yet impactful
mane, like Birdy’s feathered style shown here. The fringe,
which added a rock ’n’ roll sensibility to the runway at
Marchesa, also pairs well with airy summer outfits to
show that you, like Birdy, march to the beat of your own

1. GARDEN PARTY: Accessorize an easy, low ponytail with flower bud–shaped hairpins. Backstage pro James Pecis’s tip: Loosen the crown so hair falls over your ears for a mod look.
2. FLY AWAY: “I love ostrich feathers as hair accessories because they’re light and move beautifully,” says hairstylist Mark Townsend. “Simply tie them around chunks of hair.”
3. DREAM WEAVER: Take a messy crown braid to the next level with a fun hint of temporary color, like Chloe Norgaard’s, at left. To get the look, try Rita Hazan Pop Color Temporary Color Spray ($18, ritahazan.com).

ROYAL TREATMENT
“Makeup isn’t meant to just cover or conceal. It’s about magnifying the inner star quality every girl has,” says Sir John, right, makeup artist for Beyoncé. Ty Hunter, left, stylist for the performer, re-creates Beyoncé’s Grammy look with her custom Michael Costello gown, on Elaine.PHOTOGRAPHED BY JASON KIM.

eyoncé’s music is like lipstick, or a decidedly tall pair of heels: It’s
empowering. You put it on to feel like the bolder, badder, and
(metaphorically) blonder version of yourself.
Sure, she’s got around-the-clock makeup and hair pros on each
coast, stylists on every continent, and a record-breaking visual album that’s given
girls everywhere unapologetic license to post barefaced selfies on Instagram
(#iwokeuplikethis). But Beyoncé and I actually have a thing or two in common—
namely the talented makeup artist Sir John.
My longtime friend may put the finishing touches on one of the most
photographed women on the planet, but luckily he’s always there when I call. This
time, I had a request of epic proportions: “Yoncéfy me!” (Yoncéfy, verb: the act or
process of being transformed into Beyoncé.)
What began as a casual joke between friends quickly spiraled into an all-out
photo shoot, thanks to another mutual pal, Beyoncé’s stylist Ty Hunter, who arrived
complete with the headline-making Grammy dress. (Pinch me!) But, dear reader,
channeling Beyoncé doesn’t come with a manual. Here, a few Cliffs Notes from my
day as Queen Bey:
1. It’s all about the skin. Glowing, luminescent, radiant skin, to be specific. Sir
John’s tip: Prep with moisturizer. “Your foundation will lay smoother and give off a
lit-from-within look,” he says. Then warm up the perimeter of your face with bronzer.
“The cooler the bronzer, the more it’s going to simulate an actual tan,” Sir John notes.
2. Leave the grills to the pros. Yes, supermodel Joan Smalls made us all
secretly want a pair, thanks to the “Yoncé” video, but, unless custom-built, they’re
tricky to pull off (without dribbling). To make a memorable Beyoncé-inspired
statement, the video’s makeup artist, Francesca Tolot, suggests sticking to a red lip:
“It adds glamour and femininity to a grungier look.”
3. Save wet hair for the pool. Anywhere else
equals trouble. (See my attempt, upper right. Fail!)
4. Attitude trumps all. Not gonna lie—having a
personal glam squad is pretty amazing. And while I did
anything but wake up like this, once the makeup and
the custom wig came off, one thing was clear: Bey’s
mantra isn’t about putting on airs or makeup. For that
matter, what makes Beyoncé Beyoncé is that thing we
can all wake up with: confidence.

According to the spring shows, fashion’s top designers
never skipped an art-history lecture. Karl Lagerfeld
turned Paris’s Grand Palais into a mock art gallery to
debut Chanel’s collection. Miuccia Prada commissioned
mural artists to produce portraits that were emblazoned
on everything from frocks to handbags. And Phoebe
Philo transformed Céline’s minimalist muse into a bona
fide gallery girl, complete with sculptural shoes and
graphic prints. Backstage, Shiseido artistic director
Dick Page created “impulsive facial graffiti,” shown
above, painting “curlicues of black liquid liner” on lids
and brows. “Makeup is an ephemeral kind of art,” Page
notes, “which I think offers more freedom than clothes
or accessories.” (This is good news for those who can’t
break the bank on a new Luggage tote!) “There’s
something about choosing how you want your face to
be perceived that’s very interesting,” he says. And
with the products here, nobody’s stopping you
from making your very own masterpiece. —P.P. Go

ilary Duff? Are you freaking serious? Hilary
Duff was there last night? This is what dreams
are made of! Was she vibing it? Was she
bobbing her head?” asks 17-year-old Ella
Yelich-O’Connor, better known by her music moniker,
Lorde, after I reveal that the former Disney star stood
next to me during the singer’s private performance the
previous night. It’s Grammy weekend in Los Angeles,
and we’re sitting on a sun-drenched West Hollywood
rooftop that’s perfectly juxtaposed with Ella’s black-clad,
neo-nineties aesthetic. She seems blithely unaware of
the fact that she is the music world’s current It girl and
that everyone, and I mean everyone, is clamoring for
her. And that her album is soon to go platinum, and that
in less than 48 hours, she’s not only going to perform at
the Grammys, where she’s nominated for four awards,
Hbut she’s also going to take home two as souvenirs. Miss
Yelich-O’Connor is too preoccupied with the fact that
Lizzie McGuire told me between songs that she’s enam-
ored with Ella’s lioness mane. “This is the most insane
thing that’s ever happened to me,” Ella exclaims, pushing
back her trademark locks (which she says she hasn’t cut in
seven years). “That’s my childhood right there. Hilary Duff
is a fan—that freaks me out!”
While the world is quick to label this wise-beyond-
her-years songstress as a gothic, moody punk girl, it’s clear
she is also (if you can believe it) a well-adjusted, non-jaded
everyday teen. “There are a lot of expectations in this
industry about looking a certain way and having a certain
kind of appeal,” she says. “I am feminine, but I really
love dressing in boys’ clothes too. I guess that’s why I get
labeled as ‘the grumpy girl,’ because I don’t play into that.”

uch self-awareness, humility, and, yes, even
awkwardness are usually seen as a PR
nightmare, but they’ve proven to be the
very things that set Lorde apart from other
breakout artists. “Believe me, it’s not lost on me.
This time last year, I had never put new music out,”
she says with a smirk, as if she, of all people, is most
surprised by her sudden household-name status.
I first saw Lorde last summer at an intimate
concert in a modest Manhattan basement club near
New York University. It was Ella’s first trip to America,
really her first trip anywhere. The New Zealand
native left her make-it-or-break-it jitters at the door
and took to the stage with a nonchalant confidence—
and by midway through the opening song, she had
fully bewitched the small crowd before her. The
room chirped with support; we were already rooting
for the unknown chanteuse as she sang the lyrics,
“Pretty soon I’ll be getting on my first plane.” Little did
any of us know on that balmy night that she’d quickly
be upgrading said plane to a rocket ship and shooting
right to the top of the music industry.
While most pop stars rely on provocative and
well-calculated schoolgirl-uniformed antics or giant
hot dog–straddling ways to announce to the world
that they’ve arrived, Ella put on a dark plum-colored
lip and quietly sauntered up from the back of the
class. She garnered critical acclaim and commercial
success with her genre-bending debut album, Pure
Heroine, which spawned legions of fans, ranging
from the misfit teen to the frat boy to the indie snob.
Everybody is welcome to hang out in Lorde’s court.
Ella, the daughter of a renowned poet mother
and a civil engineer father, grew up in an Auckland
suburb as one of four kids. “I was friends with all the
boys and kind of bratty, nerdy, and quiet. I was prob-
ably really obnoxious to hang out with,” the songstress
says of her early teen years. She found an outlet in
songwriting when she was just 12, and was discovered
when record executives saw a video of her performing
at a school talent show. But true adolescent boredom—
dreamily looking at the world from the outside and
writing about it in a brave, evocative, and wry
way—is the root of Ella’s musical success.

ith her catchy global hit “Royals” (which she
wrote a few years ago on a school holiday),
she pokes fun at the excesses of fame and
fortune that characterize the jet-set life. But
now, with shiny accolades of her own, dibs on any straight-
from-the-runway fashion, and a passport that’s actually full
of stamps, it’s unclear whether Ella wanted life to imitate art
all along. In any case, she’s just trying to take it all in. “Living
in New Zealand, you don’t get these experiences. I spent so
much time in my room before,” she admits. “My life is so wild
right now. For me to be able to do something I really enjoy
and for that to get me out in the world—to South America, to
here, to London—every day I kick myself, I’m so lucky.”
Her enchanting, precocious, angst-ridden songs
are, like the musician herself, peppered with sophisticated
nuances and beats, but they still retain a refreshing sense of
innocence, with references to “Mum and Dad” and the after-
math of high school ragers thrown by an older sibling. “I wrote
these songs so long ago that I feel like they’re kind of corny
now,” she tells me while sipping a glass of orange juice. “It’s
like reading your diary from when you were 15 and thinking,
Ugh, I said that? What a loser. Or, like, every few months I
take the posters off my walls and I’m like, ‘How did I like this
stuff two months ago?’ I’ve changed so much.”
Ella’s overnight success has spawned much fascination
with and an intense critique of the star (skeptics questioned
whether she was actually her age; others wrote racist
remarks about her boyfriend), forcing her to take a crash
course in navigating both the fun and the flammable sides
of social media. “Halfway through 2013 I had 500 Twitter
followers and no one recognized me on the street. I never
had people I didn’t know commenting on my Instagram,”
Ella says. “The change happened so quickly that I spoke
as frankly as anyone does.” In the very media-trained
entertainment world, her blunt comments about not
caring for Selena Gomez’s hit “Come & Get It” hatched a
whirlwind of unnecessary controversy. “If you’re a girl, it’s
a catfight,” she explains of the media’s double standards.
But Ella refuses to stir the pot. “I am a real person and I’ve
screwed stuff up, and I think my fans appreciate that I’m
learning like them and making mistakes like them,” she
confides. “I’m not looking for any sort of drama, nor do I
wish a negative thought on someone. I feel weird talking
about it because I stated an opinion and people took that
and made it mean something.”
It’s Ella’s honesty that keeps her loyal followers coming
back for more: A recent Instagram selfie of her face dotted
with acne cream received more than 100,000 Likes. “I did it in
a joking way, but I just felt terrible about myself,” she admits.
“I was in Paris, and I was like, ‘Ugh, God, I feel so ugly right
now!’ I think a lot of people have misconceptions that those
in the spotlight always look and feel good, but I’m a teenager
and I have a big-ass problem with acne. It really sucks.”
While her predecessors have shied away from wearing
the role-model hat, Ella revels in the chance to reach her fans,
especially her female ones. “Hopefully girls look at what I’m
doing and feel inspired by the realness of it,” she states. “If
anything, I hope my success teaches them that you don’t have
to be a certain way, that in this day and age the prescribed ideals
of how girls should look are over.”
So it’s no surprise that Ella has turned
to fellow iconoclasts Tavi Gevinson, Lena
Dunham, and Grimes [Claire Boucher] for
her own inspiration and support, not to
mention Taylor Swift—their friendship
has been well documented by the press.
“It’s always good befriending people who
do a similar thing,” she explains. “I find that if we
all have the same work problems, we know each
other’s lives better. As soon as you meet someone
you’re inspired by, they stop being this superhero
in your head and they become a real person.”
While the glitter of Hollywood parties and
exotic excursions is more than enticing, it seems
unlikely that the singer is going to get caught up in
a flashy scene anytime soon. “You know, it could still
happen, but I hope not. I think I’m fine,” she says
confidently. “I still feel detached from that world,
and I don’t buy into it. I’m kind of boring—I like to
swim and go for walks, and just like to have pretty
clothes and for my room to look nice.”

o say that 17-year-old Audrey* has a crazy schedule would be a major understatement.“I’m in student council, head of the Spanish club, and on the varsity lacrosse and golf teams,” the high school junior states. “I also take two AP classes and two honors courses. I’m
pretty social, too, so I have to balance the things I need to do with the things I want to do.” Because Audrey tseems to have it so together, friends even come to her for advice. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to live upto their assumptions,” she says.
The constant stress of high expectations broughtAudrey to a breaking point last May, when the possibility of failing her chemistry class felt like too much to handleon top of everything else. “That was the first time I cut myself,” she confides. “It was an outward sign of how stressed I felt; it wasn’t just in my head anymore.”
Audrey isn’t alone in feeling overwhelmed—27 percent of teens admitted to being extremely stressedduring the past school year, according to a 2014 report from the American Psychological Association—and,scarier yet, she’s not alone in how she’s chosen to cope. A recent study from King’s College London shows that one in 12 teens reported having self-harmed, and that more of them are girls.
Why is such destructive behavior so widespread? According to Allison Kress, Psy.D., a clinical psycholo-gist in California who specializes in cutting, it takes holdbecause “girls can secretly cope while still seeming like they’re OK to everyone else.” The problem with cutting
as an emotional outlet is that it’s just a quick fix—and adangerous one at that. “It distracts you from what you’re feeling, but it doesn’t actually confront the deeper problems you’re dealing with,” Dr. Kresssays, adding that many of her patients are exactly thekinds of girls you wouldn’t expect: the valedictorianstand star athletes, the well-rounded high achievers whose lives seem picture-perfect.
For 14-year-old eighth grader Carly*, there are few things more stressful than change. And betweenswitching middle schools last year and trying to get into private high schools this year, her whole world feelsdifferent. “Everything became so overwhelming that itpushed me over the edge,” she says of the first time shedecided to cut herself a year ago. Eventually, Carly started self-harming every day. “I was sick of feeling thatpain and stress in my head,” she says. “When I feltphysical pain, it took that away. I knew it wasn’t a good thing, but I thought the stress I was feeling was worse.”
The road to cutting is often like Carly’s: It’s lessabout a specific desire to do harm than it is aboutdesperation for some kind of outlet. With situations of high stress, “teens aren’t explicitly taught how to cope,” says Nancy Rappaport, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “The key is noticing changes in your body so you can recognize the signs. If you start biting your nails or picking your eyebrows, that’s a signal to look for alternative ways to manage your emotions before you get to a point where you might want to self-harm.”
Stressed-out girls are taking dangerous measures to cope. Teen Vogue investigates self-harm’s stranglehold.

s we say in the biz, Jake Bugg has officially “made it.” He’s toured with Noel Gallagher,opened for The Rolling Stones, had a number one debut, and collaborated withmusic’s gold maker, Rick Rubin, for hissuccessful sophomore album, Shangri La.
But even after the Brit’s meteoric rise to fame (not tomention his short-lived but very public relationship with then up-and-coming model Cara Delevingne), this 20-year-old has something on his mind: that some fans think he has a “bugger off” ’tude. “I went straight on the tour bus after a gig the other day because I didn’t feel very well,” Jake recalls while sitting onstage at New York City’s Webster Hall, the site of his Teen Vogue photo shoot. “I heard someone eoutside going, ‘He’s a miserable guy’ and ‘He never smiles!’” When, in reality, he insists, “I have a funny sense of humor!”
The brooding balladeer is undoubtedly a shade more mysterious than your average pop product—he was born Jake Edwin Charles Kennedy (he took his father’s surnamefor the bright lights), grew up in a broken home with his kidsister (now immortalized in his throwback lyrics), andgave up further education to make ends meet (he’s not a high school dropout, as some may believe). Jake is alsocompletely self-taught: “The whole reason I started playing was because it was an outlet,” he says. “With other pop artists my age, music gets written for them, so they don’thave an outlet. For me, it’s the music that keeps me sane.”
In 2011, at only 17, the singer-songwriter got his big break at the Glastonbury Festival on BBC’s IntroducingStage and landed a record deal soon afterward. He’s abreath of fresh air in an age of been-there-done-that, and hehas managed to bring classic rockabilly back into fashion—without the help of stage gimmicks or Instagram. “People
A
get the idea I’m manufactured because I’m on a majorlabel,” he says. “But if you want to maintain the privilegeof making the record you want, then you have to do the promo and the photo shoots—it’s worth it to do what youlove.” Having grown up on a musical diet of Johnny Cash, Robert Johnson, and The Beatles, Jake is otherwise old-school when it comes to the fame game. “They didn’t have cell phones then, and now, if you’re having a party backstage, someone can just snap a photo,” he says.“There are more important things in the world going on, and there’s all this gossip about who’s going out with whom.” But what of the stud’s current love life? “It’s difficult to maintain a relationship on the road, and quite unfair to the girl when you’re moving from one place toanother,” he confides.
Not one to take things for granted, Jake recognizeshis career could crumble as quickly as it was built. “People love for you to have such a rise and fall—I know they want me to fall hard,” he admits. “If my head started to swell, my friends wouldn’t hesitate to tell me to shut up.”
The sincere star has risen to such great heights by living life in his own key, even if it means being misunder-stood. Perhaps it’s his dark-leather look, side-swept Mick Jagger shag, or (charmingly) thick accent—but one thing has not been lost in translation: Jake is smiling on thetinside, and he has every reason to be. —LIANA WESTON

For former New York City Ballet star
Jacques d’Amboise (above, far left),
dance is much more than an art form—
it’s a way to help young people reach
their potential, harness their creativity,
and inspire their confidence. Founded
almost 40 years ago, his hugely successful
NATIONAL DANCE INSTITUTE (NDI) reaches
tens of thousands of public school students
around the world every year, including
those with special needs, cost-free. “Children
deserve the best of everything,” he says of his
award-winning program. And the kids reap
the rewards, even if their ultimate goal isn’t to
land on the Lincoln Center stage. “I love to
dance because I can express who I am and
how I feel,” says Janeva, 12. For Ben, 17,
“dance lets me focus all my energy into
something beautiful.” But it isn’t only about
what happens in class—for some, it’s about
redefining their lives outside the studio. “I
love NDI because it’s opened up new
aspects of life,” says Dharon, 17. “It’s allowed
me to make lifelong friendships and take
advantage of the opportunities in front of
me.” —CHANTAL STRASBURGER

to work with Jay Z, Missy Elliott, everybody.” The 25-year-
old guys may have distinctive personalities, but they join
forces to powerful effect. “When we do choreography
together, we are totally the same. That’s our strength,”
Laurent says. As for their star-studded résumés? He adds:
“They make us feel like all our dreams are too little, that no
dream is too big.” —C.S.

There’s pretty much one way to get into the world-
renowned New York City Ballet: You have to be chosen for
and trained by the equally famous SCHOOL OF AMERI-
CAN BALLET (SAB), a rigorous boarding school in the heart
of Manhattan. It’s what countless bunhead dreams are
made of: living in a dorm in the city, studying with larger-
than-life dance legends, working toward (hopefully)
joining one of the best ballet companies in history. But, as
the six SAB students pictured here from our exclusive new
YouTube series Strictly Ballet show, it takes more to
become a star than simply wanting it. “Ballet isn’t all pink
tutus and pointe shoes and twirling around in circles,” says
Stephanie, 15. “There’s a lot of hard work and pain.” She’s
not kidding: The SAB students train six days a week,
pushing themselves to the physical limit in pursuit of
perfection. “It’s a lot to work for,” says Jasmine, 18, “but
we’re normal teens, too!” Normal teens doing extraordi-
nary things. —JESSICA PELS

The Bone Breaker
Twenty-five-year-old Los Angeleno HOB.DOT (Habby
Jacques) likes to defy the laws of physics. With flexing,
a style of dance that incorporates double-jointed move-
ments and hip-hop, he makes audiences’ jaws
drop—and, yes, maybe even makes them wince. But
through the “how does he do that?” haze, it’s still easy to
see what a performing powerhouse Habby is, a fact that
didn’t go unnoticed by Madonna, the matron saint of
hypertalented backup dancers. Habby landed a spot in
her 2012 MDNA tour, where he met fellow artist Lil Buck,
at right. “Dance gives people of different backgrounds a
reason to interact,” Habby says. “Whether socially,
competitively, or just as a form of entertainment, it brings
communities together.” —J.P.

all, just limitless space to create.” Jookin—weightless, fluid steps combined with uncanny flexibility,
the latter of which he perfected on scholarship at Memphis’s New Ballet Ensemble & School—may be
a contemporary style, but this star is already looking ahead. Up next? An epic collaboration with artist
JR, musician Woodkid, and 40 dancers from New York City Ballet to kick off its spring season. “I
would love for the future of dance to be a tool for the mind, body, and soul,” he says. “For it to help
us find peace within ourselves and inspire one another.” —C.S.

thrift shopping (or “op shopping,” as they call it in New
Zealand), Ella jokes about her mostly black wardrobe (“It’s
a real problem”) but insists she’s branching out. Whether she
trades noir for neon, it’s her stage presence that’s evolving
even quicker than her style. “Before I started performing
in August, I didn’t know how to carry a show or how to be a
performer, so I’ve learned a lot real fast,” admits Ella, who cites
Portishead, Massive Attack, and Talking Heads as only a few
of her influences. “Before, I was tense the whole time. Now I
really enjoy it and can relax a bit more. I feel like I have sure-
fire, tried-and-true tricks that work and keep things spicy.” She
pauses. “I’m definitely not revealing them!” But all the tricks in
the world can’t prepare even the most seasoned performer for
the Grammy Awards. “I don’t want to throw up on anyone,”
she says of the big day. “I’m not going to throw up!”
A few weeks later, Ella calls me right before the
Austin, Texas, launch of her first major North American
tour. Even by phone I can tell she’s still glowing from her
dual Grammy wins (Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo
Performance). “The whole day felt like this weird, dreamy
fantasy. You spend an eternity getting ready, and then all
of a sudden everything’s happening and it’s all gone,” she
explains. “They film you the whole time to get reactions,
and you can’t really watch the show without worrying, Am I
dancing enough? Do I look like I’m good? Is someone going
to destroy me for not liking someone’s performance?” All
eyes were indeed on Ella, but for all the right reasons. “After
winning Song of the Year, [co-writer Joel Little and I] went
underneath the stage, and Pharrell and Daft Punk were right
next to us, and everyone was milling around. And I thought,
This is it. We kind of just made it. This just happened.” Even
with the fairy-tale win, this reigning teen queen isn’t letting it
go to her head. “I’m really flattered, but I don’t think of myself
as any better of an artist, or think I’m really cool as a result of
the wins,” she says. “I wish I felt like I was cooler, but I don’t!”
That can’t be said for the rest of the world, but to her
family, Ella’s exactly the same. “My family doesn’t treat me
differently,” she states. “That’s what’s so awesome about
families. They really don’t care—they’ll treat you just the same
if you’re doing really badly or if you’re doing well. That’s the
one part of my life I can completely rely on.” She knows it’s
an important asset, especially considering how fickle the
music industry can be. “I don’t take fame or current popu-
larity or anything too seriously, because I was there when I
was a loser, and I’m here now, when I’m less of a loser, and
I’m going to be there when I’m a loser again. I figure every-
College senior Amy, 22, has struggled with crip-pling stress—and the resulting urge to cut herself—since eighth grade, especially with the pressure of having a “supersmart” older sister. “I was always compared to her, and if I didn’t get the grades she did, I’d get yelled at when I got home,” she says. Amy thought cutting was the only way to get through it. “Between the stress at school and the stress from my family, if a problem came up, I would take it out on myself. When people saw the scars, I’d tell them I fell, or that a dog scratched me, or that it was a sports thing. I never really knew how to say, ‘There’s something wrong, this is what’s going on, what do I do?’” she admits. “I had no sense of control in my life, but cutting made me feel in control of something.” Over time Amy came to learn that the control she felt was both fleeting and false. According to Dr. Kress, cutting “only creates more problems. You have the initial thoughts and feelings that make you do it, and then the stress of dealing with what you’ve just done to yourself. That spirals into more stress, lower self-esteem, depres-sion, and isolation. Then you have to ask yourself, Who’s really in control: Cutting or me?”
When it all got to be too much for Carly, she confided in a close friend, who immediately told their school’s guidance counselor. Opening up about stress and self-harm can be scary, and may feel as if you’re admitting a weakness or a failure—which is especially hard for people who want to seem like they’re totally on top of things. But “cutting thrives on secrecy and fear, so the most important way to get help is to share what you’re doing with someone you trust,” Dr. Kress advises. “In fact, stepping up and taking care of it shows your strength.”
Cutting to cope is not the answer, and it never will be. Says Amy, “It’s kind of like putting on a bandage when you really need stitches. In the end, you have a scar, not a solution.” —ASHLEY MATEO

thing that’s happened to me has been so fast, and a lot of the
people who like me now might not like me next year.”
With foresight in spades, it’s clear Ella’s poised for
even more massive success—when she’s ready for it, that
is. “I don’t want to be playing huge stadiums right now with
a crazy stage production with a hundred dancers, because
I need something to expand into if I want to go there,” she
says. “I definitely think about how I want to grow and evolve
all the time.” Lorde only knows what’s next. @

ixteen-year-old Ryan Bruno’s reaction when she saw her
revamped bedroom? “I was really surprised—in a good
way!” she says. “I was nervous, but everything is perfect,
plus all my photography is on the wall.” In addition to the aspiring
fashion designer’s favorite art, the brick-lined space is punctuated
with pops of color, handpicked by room stylist Fiona Byrne, and
features Teen Vogue’s new Something Blue bedding, available at
macys.com. “I wanted to give Ryan a bright space to hang out in
with her friends,” Fiona says. Kitschy-
cute pillows paired with a navy PBteen
couch read “total chill zone,” but the
overall crisp aesthetic is just right for a
creative spirit whose tastes change
constantly. “One day I’ll wear high-
waisted jeans and Timberlands, then
the next I’ll wear a dress, a cardigan,
and little flats,” Ryan explains. “My style
is very mixy.” —CLAIRE KNEBL
