InStyle enlisted Chrissy Teigen to cover its November issue, lensed by Carter Smith, where she looked bright and fresh in a colorful Sonia Rykiel frock. The new mom got personal in an interview for the book on the penthouse of LA’s Chateau Marmont, opening up on a range of topics like living with her husband John Legend, her infamous Twitter feud with Donald Trump, undergoing IVF, having a sense of humor about herself, and struggling with postpartum depression. Basically, there was nothing off limits! Peruse highlights from the interview below, and read the full story, here.
On not taking herself too seriously…
“If you share everything and make fun of yourself, then other people won’t make the joke, because you’ve already made it.”
On maintaining a healthy relationship with John Legend…
“I’m much luckier to have John’s personality in my life than he is to have mine. He is insanely patient and such a dork, and he loves seeing me happy, even if that means watching The Real Housewives of Dallas with me for two and a half hours. I mean, I don’t care about half the s— he’s doing either. But there’s a balance.”
On realizing her postpartum depression…
“It wasn’t just a mental thing of, you know, ‘I’m sad.’ I actually couldn’t move. I have really good days and really bad days, and I don’t tend to talk about the really bad days. But I would hate for people to think those day’s didn’t exist.”
