On the contrary, the actress and Pilates devotee is all about being present, and moving forward. “I’ve been really focused on not being ‘back’ to anything, but being the best version of myself right now. My body is the site of a miracle now,” she says of giving birth to her first child, daughter Isabelle Amarachi, 1. “I don’t want to be pre-miracle.” (Photo: Self Magazine, September 2015)

Jessica Alba on Allure - The Honest Company founder has announced that her eco-friendly bath and body brand is adding a line of beauty products. She tells the mag that her business success “wouldn't really be possible” without husband Cash Warren. "He helped me put together my initial business plan. He was always my biggest cheerleader but never gave me unrealistic expectations and never criticized me so much where I felt defeated. Having someone who genuinely has your back, no matter what, there's nothing like that...It's a real unconditional love.... The partner that you choose to go through life with you, that's your chosen family."(Photo: Allure Magazine, September 2015)

Beyoncé on Vogue - Bey is giving you your whole entire life on the cover of Vogue’s biggest issue of the year, next to the apt cover line: “Just B: Beyoncé and the Art of Global Domination.” The cover image was shot by Mario Testino, who said this about the star: “Beyoncé is a powerhouse. She can sneer. She can out-strut and stare down any man in the film frame. Call her, in the songs, She Who Must Be Obeyed — in the palace, in the bedroom, in the hood, on the road, and on the runway.”  (Photo: Vogue, September 2015)

Grace Gealey on Cliché - In the cover story, the Empire bad girl talks about the importance of being authentically yourself. “The most important thing I learned at university was to accept, embrace, and celebrate my individuality. Your uniqueness is your key. Much of the time we find ourselves ensnared in the trap of trying to shed the things that stand out and comprise our originality. In actuality, we should be commemorating these things in ourselves and others.” (Photo: Cliché Magazine, August/September 2015)

Ella Eyre on Cosmopolitan UK - The British singer-songwriter is the new It Girl, and she’s serious about her craft, which to her means no skimpy stage costumes. “My stage presence is lively and animalistic, so I want to be comfortable. I feel like if you’re wearing a bra and pants on stage, no one is listening to your lyrics — well, I’m certainly not. I'm thinking, ‘Wow, you look great in that,’ rather than, ‘This is a really vulnerable song.’” Her debut album, Feline, is due out later this month. (Photo: Cosmopolitan UK, September 2015)

Miley Cyrus on Marie Claire - Whether you love her or could do without her, the singer is hard to ignore. In the September issue of Marie Claire, she talks about not wanting to be a conventional role model, and how money doesn’t come close to buying happiness. “Getting more money, having more hits, being the lead in the movie — those things might stimulate you, but they don’t make you happy. I’ve experienced it all already, and I'm telling you firsthand, it doesn’t.” (Photo: Marie Claire Magazine, September 2015)

Amandla Stenberg on Dazed - We applaud the 16-year-old actress for never biting her tongue, even when it comes to a divisive topic like cultural appropriation by white celebrities like Kylie Jenner. She tells the magazine that society shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the views of young people, when each of us has wisdom worth sharing. “I think people discredit teenagers and how wise they can be,” she says. “Sometimes I meet teenagers who are much wiser than many adults I’ve met, because they haven’t let any insecurities or doubts about themselves get in the way of their thoughts.” (Photo: Dazed Magazine, Autumn 2015)

Ciara on Shape - Want the singer’s rock hard bod? She says that after welcoming her son, Future, last May, she worked out two or three times a day with trainer Gunnar Peterson. In four months, she lost a whopping 60 pounds. On her portion control plan for eating, she says, “You know those days when you think you have to have a plate of pasta right now? When I'm trying to be good, I take a minute to ask myself, 'Do you really need to eat all this crazy stuff? It will still be around if you want it later.'' (Photo: Shape Magazine, September 2015)

Serena Williams on New York - Damn. That’s all we can really say about Serena’s stunning new cover. Inside, the world's greatest tennis star talks about what she wants for her life after tennis and why she doesn’t let the racism she’s faced define her. “I don’t dwell in the past. If I do, I’ll be swallowed up by negativity. As Mandela once said, ‘I will be in a mental prison.’” (Photo: Essence Magazine, September 2015)

Misty Copeland on Essence - We’ve got mad love for female athletes, and Misty Copeland is a class act. Having been named the first Black principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre earlier this year, she plans to continue to push her boundaries to inspire others. "All of a sudden now that I'm in this position, I'm not going to say, 'I'm just a dancer.' It's a huge deal because I'm a Black woman. That's why it's a big deal." (Photo: Essence Magazine, September 2015)

Willow Smith on i-D - It seems like the 14-year-old is everywhere these days, but we’re not mad about it. The singer-actress covers i-D’s Coming of Age Issue sporting electric blue eyeliner, a floral Gucci jacket, and top by House of Liza. (Photo: I-D Magazine, September 2015)

Sanaa Lathan on Upscale - The 44-year-old stunner is stylin’ for the gawds in this clingy white gown with plunging neckline. The Perfect Guy actress has so many hits under her belt, and she only plans to keep aiming higher. "I am moving into the behind-the-scenes aspect now. When you've been in the business so long, you say to yourself, ‘I know how to do this,’” she tells the magazine. “I know you can never say never, but I'll never stop acting. I'll just keep adding to what the word ‘performance’ ultimately means to me." (Photo: Upscale Magazine, August/September 2015)

Khloe Kardashian on Women’s Health - After flaunting her toned buns on the cover of Complex, the reality star is sharing how she earned those curves. She says she started working out with A-list trainer Gunnar Peterson in 2012, around the time of her difficult split from Lamar Odom. “The first 45 days you’re like, ‘F---k this s---t,'” she says. “You’re exhausted, you’re sore, and I actually felt fatter because I was swollen. If you keep going, you’re eventually like, ‘Wow, is that an indentation on my arm?’ Yeah, it’s a revenge body. But it’s just as much for all my critics who called me ‘the fat one’ for my entire existence.” (Photo: Women's Health Magazine, September 2015)

Sheryl Lee Ralph on Sheen - The actress (and ageless beauty!) has dozens of credits to her name, including cult favorite Moesha and her recent stint on Instant Mom. How does she stay so motivated?

Iggy Azalea on Seventeen - In her cover story, Iggy opens up about her choice to get a nose job and breast augmentation. "I don't think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I've spoken about the changes I've made, like with my breasts,” she says. She adds that going under the knife is something no one should rush into. "Your perception of yourself can change a lot over time, so I think it's important to wait and make sure it's the right choice." (Photo: Seventeen Magazine, September 2015)

Demi Lovato on Cosmopolitan - The “Cool for the Summer” singer is dishing with Cosmo about her five-year relationship with boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama. "The only times we ever broke up were when I was relapsing, whether it was drugs or in a bad place and rebelling against everybody, not just him ... People say that relapses happen before you use. Your mind starts setting up the relapse before you take that drink or that first hit. The times we'd broken up, I had already gone to that place of, 'Yeah, this is what's happening.' I didn't realize it at the time, but I just wanted to sabotage everything around me so that I could sabotage myself."​ (Photo: Cosmopolitan Magazine, September 2015)

Rita Ora on Glamour UK - The singer covers the magazine’s Big Fashion Issue, and rather than wearing something fabulous, she uses a pretty, pleated black-and-white mini dress to shield her nude body. Hey, she’s a risk taker! Defending her role as a judge on The X Factor UK, she says, "It's not about thinking, ‘Oh my God, I want to be on TV every Saturday night!’ I'm a musician, I've built this bond with my team, with the music industry. I've worked hard to be involved with everything you see my name associated with. It doesn't happen overnight, and I feel I have as much right to be on that panel as everyone does.” (Photo: Glamour Magazine UK, August 2015)

Jada Pinkett-Smith on American Way - Another day, another rumor! Smith has heard ‘em all when it comes to the state of her marriage, and tells the magazine that “marriages go through shifts. And relationships go through shifts because in life things shift. So people are automatically like, ‘What’s going on? They must be getting a divorce.’ Well, no. But when people feel those shifts and there’s a mystery, they have to fill it with something.” (Photo: American Way Magazine, August 2015)

Chrissy Teigen on Women’s Health - The model and cookbook author shares just why she looks so dang good naked! “I used to take pride in the fact I didn’t have to work out, and then I hit that age where you have to. I want to drink Champagne and have hearty dinners, so I would rather work out for an hour and be able to do what I want.” Welp, we’re sold. (Photo: Women’s Health Magazine, August 2015)

Toccara Jones on Sheen - Even back in her America’s Next Top Model days, Tocarra was never afraid to embrace her curves. In her cover story, the model is spilling the deets on her forthcoming lingerie line, what inspires her confidence and why “plus size” isn’t a negative term. “The word ‘plus’ means more and why not more?" she says. Fierce, indeed! (Photo: Sheen Magazine, August 2015)

Erica Campbell on Rolling Out - Gospel singer Erica Campbell opens up about the highs and lows she’s encountered in embarking on a solo career apart from Mary Mary with sister Tina Atkins-Campbell. “The music business is tough … but I am tough. To whom much is given, much is required, so you may be in a little more pain than the average person. And you may have to work a little harder, or endure more than the average person,” she says. (Photo: RollingOut Magazine, August 2015)

Roselyn Sanchez on Cosmopolitan Mexico - The Puerto Rican actress/singer famously fired back against Donald Trump following his racist rant against Mexican immigrants, and we applaud her for standing up against ignorance.

Gwen Stefani on Aquarius - The No Doubt frontwoman hasn’t aged a day since hitting the scene in the early ‘90s. She shares with the magazine how she juggles her successful career with marriage and being a mom to three growing boys. “My biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it’s hard, everyone knows it’s hard. [Marriage] is something that I always wanted to do successfully. It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together.” (Photo: Aquarius Magazine, August 2015)

Gigi Hadid on W - The magazine calls the 20-year-old “the world’s most connected supermodel,” and it’s hard to argue against that — homegirl has made a name for herself in both commercial campaigns and haute couture. "My Pirelli calendar is hanging on the wall of my friend’s frat house, and he doesn’t know anything about fashion,” she says. “That balance is what leads to big campaigns outside of fashion. But I never want to choose one or the other. Both commercial and high fashion are what make my job so interesting.” (Photo: W Magazine, September 2015)

Bethany Mota on Latina - The YouTube beauty guru strikes a pose in a gorgeous floral-print gown, paired with a soft updo and smoky eyes. She’s speaking on her success outside of vlogging, including her clothing line and new fragrance with Aeropostale. "When I started my YouTube channel five years ago, I never thought anything big would actually come of it. So to think that so many people actually want to watch my videos, and people know about my clothing line, and people are so supportive that it’s on billboards — it's just kind of surreal."
