Lorde on ELLE–The October cover story from Elle US stars Lorde, marking her very first major fashion magazine cover. Thomas Whiteside captured the dark-haired star on an East London rooftop. The recent MAC collaborator wears fall looks from the likes of Balmain, Lanvin, Helmut Lang and more in the photoshoot. Lorde also opens up about maintaing her authenticity in the cutthroat industry of music. “A lot of times when people meet me, they’ll definitely try to make me feel young or inexperienced. Like, ‘It’s all taken care of’. Teenagers are such a discerning group of people. They’ll immediately sniff out anything that feels contrived. I’m, like, constantly scanning myself to see if I’m some corporate executive version of a teenager. I’ve developed something of a fearsome reputation. People know that if you talk down to me, I will roll my eyes or whatever.”

Lorde on Being an Inspiration

“People have told me that I’ve helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. That’s so amazing that I can make someone feel like that.”
