The Interview Magazine August 2012 Mila Kunis editorial furthers the current obsession with the Ukrainian actress. Her recent appearances in Black Swan and Friends With Benefits have gone hand in hand with her widespread recognition as a fashion icon, aided in part by her features in Elle Magazine, Nylon and Cosmopolitan.

This Craig McDean photoshoot is characterized by a [Western Americana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-microsd-cards) spirit. [Cowboy boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-chrome-collection), denim shorts, leather belts and a Kiss t-shirt drove this very spirit home alongside a vintage two-seater, as did the run down auto shop.

Kunis appeared cool and removed throughout this Interview Magazine production. Her attitude is consistent here with her constant on-screen presence and with her history as a rising star on That 70s Show.
