Freida Pinto is ALL WOMAN for The EDIT.

Indian actress/model Freida Pinto stars in The EDiT’s ALL WOMAN issue. We love the goddess/warrior themed styling for the editorial by Tracy Taylor. She wears pieces by Sonia Rykiel, Vionnet, Vera Wang, Altuzarra, Balmain, and … that Jason Wu gown for the cover shot… omgoddess. . Photographed by Chad Pitman.

Beyond starring in L’Oreal campaigns & featured films, Pinto recently became an ambassador for the Because I Am A Girl campaign, which supports young girls’ rights to a quality education.

Since Pinto’s breakout role in Slumdog Millionaire she continues to take Hollywood by storm. For Net-A-Porter’s online mag, the Mumbai-born beauty talks modeling, different perspectives on looks, & more.

She began modeling at 19years old followed by becoming a leading actress, now she uses her fame to bring awareness to important issues,  “If it gives me a bigger ticket and I can use whatever fame I get to help women and girls who have been sexually abused, then it’s worth it.” In 2012, she joined the Plan International’s campaign which aims to protect girls and women from violence and sex trafficking.

Freida said, “You hear that phrase so much. ‘I got raped… because I’m a girl’, ‘I can’t go out at night…because I’m a girl’, when really it should be, ‘Because I’m a girl, I can give birth to the next generation of enlightened males.’”

On the perceptions about both her ethnicity & her looks. “It’s hard because the first thing people see when I go into an audition is that I am 100% Indian, but I don’t remember a time in my life when I did not see myself as a world citizen. When I watch films, I can always imagine myself as the female lead – even if it’s Minnie Mouse.”

“It’s not necessarily the way I see myself. In fact, I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror. But I’m aware of the perception and I always say that if it’s because of that one line in Slumdog where Latika is described as “the most beautiful girl in the world”, then I have to do everything that I can to change that perception.”

Pinto’s not slowing down her career anytime soon, she says, “I’m excited about the kind of roles I might get in my thirties; I’m hoping they’re going to be very different,” she says. “I’m lucky that I haven’t been overexposed. There were a lot of films I said no to, because I wanted to concentrate on longevity.”

Oh, wondering what her fav designers are? Well beyond Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, she LOVES Ferragamo, “everything the Ferragamo family does. I’m a self-proclaimed honorary Ferragamo family member.”

Kerry Washington gets ‘Scandalous’ for Marie Claire.

Actress / Model Kerry Washington stuns for the cover of Marie Claire’s April 2015 issue. Kerry stars in the number one (most addicting) TV Show out there: SCANDAL. I mean, even Rihanna is obsessed with Olivia Pop (as we are). Washington opens up to Marie Claire about her character Ms. Pope, Scandal, family, & growing up.

The spokeswoman of beauty brand L’Oreal talks growing up & thinking she was not pretty (trust us, we were shocked too): “I didn’t grow up thinking I was pretty; there was always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that’s what I had.”

On privacy: “Earlier in my career, I was much more super-sharey. There were moments when I wanted to process things that were happening to me more privately, and I didn’t have the space to do it, because once you let people in, they’re in and you don’t get to say, ‘Oh, I want this for myself.’”

On family: “I just want [daughter Isabelle] to know that she’s heard. Really heard, because I feel like that is what we all really want. When I think about any of the missteps in my life that I’ve made, all of which I’m grateful for, it’s because I just so wanted to be truly seen and heard for who I am and was afraid I wasn’t or wouldn’t be. I see you, I hear you, I’m with you as you are.”

On working with Shonda Rhimes (the creator of Scandal): “I’m very respectful of Shonda’s vision of who Olivia [Pope] is, but she has said that she is informed by the choices I make. If we were waltzing, she’s definitely leading. And she picked the song, and she probably dressed us, but it is a waltz.”

On Olivia Pope: “I don’t think I consciously say, ‘What would Olivia Pope do?’ but there’s a new thread of belief in my own capacity that I think comes from her. She makes it happen. She figures it out. She fixes it.

On fashion: “I just put myself in a boot camp of figuring it out—and realized that I really loved it. I guess because I came to it later in life, I realized, ‘Oh, going to a fashion show is like going to the opening of Degas at the Met or going to see Swan Lake.’”

On life after Gossip Girl: “I felt exhausted, both physically and creatively. So I really wanted some time to myself and to focus on other things that I lov

On ‘Age of Adaline’, her upcoming movie.
“I really wanted some time to myself and to focus on other things that I loved, so that when I did it again I would be really re-invigorated. And it took a movie that I really couldn’t say ‘no’ to, you know, because there’s plenty that I would have done, but it was really important to have that time. So when I read that one, I said, ‘I can’t not be in this movie, I have to do this movie.’”

A Career in Acting: “It’s hard to have that sense of ease when you have a job that is so much in the hands of luck and fate. It was never that I didn’t want to be an actor because I thought it was a bad industry.
