Lara Stone On Her New Addiction and Who She's Obsessed With

fashionologie — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 10:48:15 PDT

>> "Most people can be made to look beautiful," Lara Stone admitted recently to Stylist. "Someone can do your hair nice and put some make-up on - but being sexy is something inside and not everybody has it. I don’t think I ever really had it, a lot of it is to do with confidence. Lady Gaga, for example, walking around in her bra and knickers and being really sexy but still she’s just not sexy at all, to me."

A couple more interview highlights, below.

Her current addiction: "Knitting. I started two months ago when I quit smoking. I have a totally addictive personality so I instantly downloaded all these apps for patterns. I’ve made lots of squares in different colours and then I’m sewing them together to make a blanket, it’s getting quite big now."

Her girl crush: "At the moment I’m obsessed with Nigella Lawson. I think she is just the most gorgeous thing ever. Her skin practically makes me drool. I’d love to be just like her."

Lara Stone Wants a Role in Zoolander 2; Plus, Her Thoughts on Kate Moss's Wedding

fashionologie — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 08:09:34 PDT

>> Could Lara Stone be headed to the big screen? She's previously named playing a villainous Bond girl as a dream, and now, she tells Vogue UK: "I would love to be in Zoolander 2. I'd be so good at that 'Blue Steel' pose. I think I'd enjoy doing that, it'd be funny. I'd like to try acting if the right part came along, but I'm not actively looking - I'm pretty busy at the moment. I definitely could never go into singing at all ever though, unless it was for a huge joke. I don't even sing in the shower. Actually the other day I was in the shower and I didn't realise my husband was in, and I sang away to myself. I got out and he gave me the most disdainful look."

Before Kate Moss's wedding earlier this month, Stone was nervous about what to wear to the festivities, but now, she gushes: "Kate is such a lovely, fun woman. The wedding was just the most perfect day. She looked beautiful. I loved the dress, she looked gorgeous. She was the most radiant bride. There's a [British] Vogue cover with Kate wearing a crown - she just looks so cute and so charming. She is pretty perfect and incredibly beautiful. She's so striking. If you see her face on a poster in the street you can't ignore it." As for Stone's own marriage, she says: "I like spending time with my husband. Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen. It's important to spend quality time together, like going on holidays away."

And ever self-deprecating, when queried about which part of her body is her least favorite, Stone replies with a laugh: "Most of it. It depends on the day. Like most women, I have days where I feel like today I'm not leaving the house - you know days where you've got a spot on your nose or when you've just got off a flight, eaten fish and chips and feel really bloated - that one happens a lot to me. You have to accept yourself though, and accept that there will always be something to worry about. It's much easier just to accept things."
