American actress Amber Heard covers the upcoming Flare Magazine September 2013 issue. Promoting her soon to hit theatres movie 'Paranoia,' a film about an entry-level employee at a powerful corporation, she channels her inner sexy sophisticate for the photoshoot. She is clad in a pale wardrobe of neutrals and whites.
Styled by Erin Walsh, the blonde beauty wears an elegant shirt from The Row and skirt from A.L.C. in the Flare Magazine September 2013 editorial. The looks were shot in studio by photographer Kurt Iswarienko. In the accompanying article, she talks about her movie choices, “If there was an interesting rom-com script, I wouldn’t be against it, but the stuff I have gotten is just girls who are dying to get the guy or be saved by the guy…At least the female characters in horror movies fight back and do something for themselves. They’re not just sitting around waiting for a man to save the day.”
