AMANDA SEYFRIED
Behind the scenes at Allure’s cover shoot.
The sun was blazing, the dog was panting,
and Amanda Seyfried wanted to get something off her chest: “I cut my own bangs,” she said, almost apologetically, of her long, sideswept layers. “But they look good, right?” We were in Stone Ridge, New York, at a private estate to
photograph the actress for her third Allure cover. “They’re good,” said hairstylist Rutger, then added gently, “but I’m going to need to even them out a bit.” While in the makeup chair, Seyfried tossed blueberries into the air to Finn, her Australian shepherd (and Instagram costar). It was lively on set that day, and Seyfried was in the mood to confess things. “I hate it,” she said of her Pure Barre workout. “But it has moved my butt—it’s higher now.” Layers of velvet may not go well with a sunny afternoon in the mid-90s, but Seyfried had no complaints as she posed for photographer Scott Trindle. “I’d rather be hot than wearing swimsuits on the beach in winter,” she said. Still, she seemed happy to slip back into her halter top, denim cutoffs, and Birkenstocks when it was over. —REPORTING BY PATTY ADAMS MARTINEZ
