Chrissy Teigen covers the January issue of Elle Australia. I don’t know what she’s promoting exactly but she always has a lot of irons in the fire, she’s usually fighting with someone online (it’s often someone who deserves to be called out, but still) and she’s very… visible I’ll say. I have mixed feelings about her, but I can definitely cosign her thoughts on feminism, which are to-the-point and well explained in her Elle interview. The more she talks like this, the more I can see myself being a fan.

On if she is a feminist: “absolutely”
“It’s about equality, of course, but people see it as being bigger than it is. I think some men are scared of feminists because they think they’re trying to prevail in a way, whereas I’m like, ‘That’s not what equality is.”

“I love having every right to be as outspoken as I am, as any man would be.”

On motherhood:
She ‘didn’t know how tough it would be.’ It’s “all-encompassing.”

Prior to this if you would have told me that Chrissy Teigen was one of those “I’m not a feminist, I just want equality for everyone” idjits I would have believed you. Yet she gets feminism more than Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, Mel B and Marion Cotilard combined. We can add Chrissy to the list of enlightened celebrities. (To be fair they already include Jessica Chastain, Maisie Williams, Melissa McCarthy, Rowan Blanchard and more.) Chrissy is educated about the topic and she summed up the problem some factions have with feminism perfectly – they don’t know what it is. However given all that’s happened I would add that many people don’t even value feminism when they do grasp what it means. So many people think that women somehow deserve to be lesser than men. It also serves their interests to mischaracterize feminism, and to muddy the waters about so many things we used to assume were common knowledge.

In terms of Chrissy’s styling, they made her look both beachy and elegant, which is a real feat. She’s lovely and you can see more photos from the shoot on The Daily Mail. Elle has two videos of Chrissy here and here.
