Rachel Zegler is not holding back. At just 24, she’s already starred in West Side Story and Disney’s Snow White, and now she’s taking center stage again; this time as Evita in London’s West End. For the latest digital cover of i-D Magazine, Rachel shows a different side: unfiltered, relaxed, and real.

Shot by Richard Kern and styled by Ron Hartleben, the photos capture Rachel in laid-back fashion. She wears a mix of vintage pieces, including flannel shirts, lacy boxers, and ’90s throwbacks from Stella McCartney, Dior, and Re/Done.

One look shows her lounging in denim cut-offs and heels on a kitchen counter; in another, she’s got headphones on and a plaid shirt thrown over a ripped tee.

But behind the camera-ready face is a story of struggle. Rachel opens up about the pressure and backlash after Snow White. She shares how anxiety nearly stopped her from functioning and how therapy and medication helped her find peace. “I wanted to function in a way that made me feel confident in the way I was moving through the world.”
