Blonde beauty Emily VanCamp is taking a moment between takes of her role as Emily Thorne in the ABC drama series Revenge, to pose for the cover of Fashion‘s April 2013 issue.
She steps up the heat for the James White photo shoot in head-to-toe Gucci, wearing a turquoise snakeskin print dress topped off with some serious neck bling: a flower necklace from Gucci’s Spring 2013 collection.

The 26-year-old Ontario native sits down with Fashion features editor Elio Iannacci to talk about her approach to acting, Hollywood vices, and strategies for working the red carpet.
On method acting:
“Oh, god, we couldn’t,” she laughs. “We’re playing very intense characters. A lot of us are doing intense scene after intense scene so when you go home you absolutely need to unwind, disconnect, and let it all go. If you live with these characters—it could be quite distracting and destructive. I have an amazing group of friends and they make it easy for me to let loose and relax on the weekends, get back to reality and ground myself.”
On Hollywood’s obsession with plastic surgery:
“I think actors get addicted to youth but it seems so exhausting to me. There is such pressure in L.A. to keep young and beautiful [but] the expectation to maintain this perfectly youthful face is incredibly intimidating as a woman in this business. How can you act if your face is frozen? I don’t understand it.
I find it really tragic and sad that women feel that they can’t age and still work in film. Some of my favourite women I like to watch on screen are the ones that allow themselves to age gracefully. They play women that are around the same age and they have no shame in it.”
On red carpet etiquette:
“There is definitely a secret dress code when it comes to Hollywood. For awards shows, I feel if you’re nominated for something you can take it to that extra level because it is— in a weird way—your night. When you’re presenting, you need to be demure and understated. I do believe there’s an art to choosing the right dress for the right moment.”
