she said to me sweetly before walking back to the bedroom to finish her call.
I asked, pointing at her dress.
I love it, but I cant sit down.
It wrinkles, she answered quickly as she typed.
The scene felt familiar, exactly like an interaction Id have with anyone but a celebrity.
It felt like the correct connection for me to make.

It celebrated being young.
Bliss is something that Ive had memories of from when I was really young.
Its affordable, accessible, and it just feels appropriate for me to partner with and represent.
Emily Soto
A conversation with Blanchard feels thoughtful, a nod to her intelligence and well-spoken nature, but also joyful.
Even two or three years ago, Id tell myself, Relax.
Youre not supposed to know the answer.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Blanchard credits the city for her wash-and-go mentality.
She doesnt wear makeup when shes not working and likens her West Coast style to just a T-shirt.

For New York, Im packing my really good clothes.

Im vegan, but I eat sushi.
I was full vegan for a while.
I dont cook fish.

I cant deny it anymore.
Sushi is… damn.

Theres a reason why those looks withheld time.
Marilyn, Audrey, Grace Kellyall these women.
I think theres something so untouchable about their regalness.
I dont like spending a lot of money on makeup.
I would splurge on food.
A girl after my own heart, I thought as I shifted on the bed.
She does love a drugstore mascara, though.
It seems Blanchard believes the sky is the limit.
I want to dye my hair platinum blonde, Blanchard exclaims.
I want to see what I look like with my eyebrows bleached.
I want to do glitter eyebrows.
I do nothing to my eyebrows, she laughs.
I want to get into college.
I want to make more movies.
Its really intense when youre a teenager.
You’re literally experiencing everything for the first time.
So theres no survival kit of how to get through something.
