Crazy Ex-Girlfriend creator and star Rachel Bloom takes the cover story of Allure Magazine‘s Fall 2018 digital edition lensed by fashion photographer Daria Kobayashi Ritch. In charge of styling was Deborah Afshani, with beauty from hair stylist Nikki Providence, and makeup artist Natasha Severino.
“We’re told that all women are beautiful, but why is that even the conversation? We don’t measure men by that — we measure women by that, and that’s the male gaze.
It’s something that I’m still grappling with, I was raised by parents who didn’t care about how they looked — and I think that specifically something that my parents said was, ‘Oh, if you care about how you look too much, you’re phony.’ I like wearing pretty clothes and I like putting on makeup for me — is there a part in there that’s the male gaze? F**king probably.” – Bloom for Allure.
