Drew Barrymore Gets Creative with Instyle Magazine
The Santa Clarita Diet star sat down with InStyle at her New York apartment to chat about the good and the bad regarding growing up in the spotlight, her debut clothing collection, being a mother, and what really drives her crazy.
Drew pulled some photos out of the archives and InStyle recreated them for an amazing shoot, asking her to wear Grown Up-Drew outfits reflecting Little Drew’s style. Think… Drew with Mr. T at the 1984 People’s Choice Awards.
Check out some of what she had to say to InStyle below:
On Dear Drew, her clothing collection with Amazon Fashion
“I kept feeling this burning desire to build an apparel brand for women by women, to explore something romantic…I thought, ‘There is enough shit in life. I want optimism and joy.’ At the same time, I don’t like magic-wand happy endings – and now I don’t like magic-wand makeup or magic-wand clothes.”
On growing up in show business
“From a young age I was overly passionate and thought everything lived and died in a professional atmosphere because, back then, it was really all I had. I didn’t have a family. I’ve been working as long as I can remember.”
On her extreme moods
“God or the devil, face ripper or ‘Take the shirt off my back,’ I definitely have a ferociousness. And I’ve always had it. I completely rebel against authority…I am very fucking scrappy.”
On not needing a romantic relationship
“My daughters are so fulfilling that I feel like my cup is just avalanching over. If love took on a physical analogy form, I’d be an overstuffed turkey or piñata. So I’m not really hungry for it at this moment. I don’t think I would have ever known that I could be this content, this whole, without being in a romantic relationship. That would have been a surprise to my younger self.”
InStyle’s February issue goes on sale Friday, January 5 where she covers the magazine wearing a gorgeous dress by Céline.
