Three-time Oscar nominated actress Amy Adams graces the cover of the December issue of InStyle magazine and dishes about everything from motherhood and dropping post-pregnancy weight to wearing what makes her feel good. The issue, which hits news stands November 18t, also gives readers tips on holiday gifting and entertainment ideas. Below is an excerpt from Ms. Adams’ interview. On another note, there are no words to describe the beauty of that cover. Pure perfection!
On cutting herself a break after giving birth:
“I read about these actresses who get on a stationary bike two weeks after giving birth and I’m like, ‘What? Where did you push your baby out of?’ Since having Aviana, I have a muffin top, and that’s OK right now.”
On motherhood:
“I’m definitely not one of those women who make it look easy. I’m always running late—and look, there’s guacamole on my purse! But I’m more patient than I ever thought I would be, and I’m not hard on myself anymore.”
On style—and wearing red as a redhead:
“In the past, people have told me that redheads shouldn’t wear red. I think that’s silly. The combination is very vibrant.”
