Kendall Jenner Stuns on Allure Cover

Kendall Jenner Stuns on Allure Cover, Admits It's Hard to Stand Out in a Big Family
It's getting harder and harder to keep up with Kendall Jenner!
The model-on-the-move is making another stunning magazine appearance, this time for Allure's March 2015 issue. On the cover, Kendall wears a high drama (but deceptively simple) beauty look, sporting nude lips, fresh, dewy skin and heavily-rimmed eyes.
The accompanying interview proves that the 19-year-old beauty has really come into her own: She details what it was like to grow up in front of millions ("When I started getting in front of the camera…my confidence started to come out," she explained, adding that the young reality star life wasn't ultimately "a negative thing") and why she's taken an independent approach to her career (Kendall's modeling cards only say her first name as a measure to ensure she will be treated like everyone else).
Kendall, in fact, started her career on her own (as a child, she crafted a scrapbook of photos—an early portfolio—called "Kendall's Modeling Book") and kept it that way for her catwalk debut: She famously admitted to The Cut that she told big sis Kim Kardashian to not attend her shows for the spring-summer 2015 season. In Allure, Kendall further explains why she wanted to take to the runway without her mega-star older siblings in the front row.
"As selfish as this sounds, I wanted the attention to be on me for five seconds rather than my family. If they were sitting front row, it would have been all about, ‘Oh, Kim goes to Kendall's first fashion show!'" Kendall said. "I love Kim, but for a minute I wanted it to be like, ‘OK, this is [Kendall's] thing—and she's taking it seriously.'"
Mission accomplished: Kendall is now a supermodel in her own right. She's walked for some of the most important designers in high fashion, landed major campaigns (oh, hello Karl and Estée) and has even made her mark as a clothing designer (her new collection with Topshop, a joint venture with sister Kylie Jenner, will debut this summer).
A behind-the-scenes video shows Kendall getting up close and personal with a, well, primate—and a hot male model (#nbd). For the editorial, she poses in a variety of sexy one-piece bathing suits (really, those cut-outs make a bikini seem irrelevant).
All in all, we can tell it was a successful shoot: In the footage, when Kendall finally gets to look at the pictures that have been taken, she smiles widely and says "Yes, yes!"

FASHION Magazine April 2014 cover: Cobie Smulders

Known most for her role as Robin Scherbatsky—the token Canuck on TV’s How I Met Your Mother—Vancouver’s Cobie Smulders is one of those stars who comes off as a natural on and off the camera. Photographed during an emotional time when her widely successful sitcom was wrapping up its last episode (airing March 31), Smulders cleared her just-as busy film schedule (she has a couple of blockbusters on her plate, including a star turn in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to pose for FASHION Magazine’s April 2014 issue and chat with features editor, Elio Iannacci. Here is a sneak peek at some of the things she talked about in her cover story—which arrives on newsstands on March 17.

On choosing her role on How I Met Your Mother:

“I had to choose between three projects…I decided to go with How I Met Your Mother, which was the best call. I would’ve been so pissed off if I had gone the other way, don’t you think?”
On Robin’s character development:

“Robin started off not being the funny one…at the beginning, she was the girl that the guy wanted. She eventually went through some emotional growth.”

On her Canadian-ness:

“I never want to lose my Canadian-ness…and when I say Canadian-ness, I mean down-to-earth. I like being able to not take myself seriously and to not feel entitled.”

On the reason behind her rigorous exercise regime for her upcoming roles in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron

“I didn’t get to do many stunts, but I still wanted to be in shape..I’m wearing a catsuit for God’s sake!”
