This October issue brings to life an emerging personality who is lifting the world of fashion and cinema onto the spotlight, for McKenna Grace does indeed Apostle the cover of InStyle Mexico this month. The magazine raised this multi-hyphenate talent as one of the most sincere voices for her generation, a name abutting apt for such a young star.
Grace talked at length about the whirlwind of projects that define her career at present. Atop the list is ‘Regretting You,’ a much-anticipated film adaptation of the novel written by Colleen Hoover. In the adaptation, Grace plays Clara, which would offer her an extensive scope for expressing her dramatic skills.
Of course, she would not limit herself to acting in life. The cover story shines the spotlight on her beat, particularly an album titled “Bittersweet 16”. Grace describes the album in very personal terms-dicating it as a sung diary. It is an intimate peak into the mind of a teenager trying to make sense of the intricacies of being famous, making art, and the usual challenges of just growing up-all set to beat.
The most interesting portions of the feature go into Grace’s ideas about and reflections on her existence. In a very frank way, she touches upon what it shall never be like for any given child growing up in the glare of a Hollywood spotlight. It is an experience few sharing stage time ever get to live through-the road she forged for herself through the process is told in her own expressions. For her, success was having a pure, raw passion tied with authenticity and vulnerability for her crafts-which she discussed at length-unto how to go about creating opportunities instead of just sitting on her hands, hoping for an opportunity to stumble into her lap.
This gorgeous cover shot by Max Montgomery lent a charming, rock-and-roll vibe to the star. Styled by Paulina Zas in Dolce&Gabbana, the look is another step away from some of her more recognizable roles, suggesting she confidently enters a new, mature expression.
As the cover news made rounds, admirers and followers quickly flocked into the comment section to shower it with praise and excitement. This response just shows the growth of what was an already dedicated fanbase.
One user perfectly encapsulated the growing excitement for the magazine covers: “Yaaaaaa, it’s just that every cover is better than the last one!” This comment refers to the strong trend of startlingly visual issues that the publication has been known for, carried on by this feature.
The fresh rockstar makeover did not go unnoticed. “@mckennagraceful you look like a little rock star here,” said another-at the mark of transformation from child actor to fashion-forward musician with her own musically realized voice.
Her versatility has definitely not gone unnoticed! Another commenter wrote, “actress, producer AND singer’ most talented person.” This literally sums up how many outsiders feel: someone pulling off several similar-minded yet demanding creative pursuits so successfully at such a young age.
More personal statements followed with support, delegating the words “i love you and i miss you” concerning the deep connection her audience feels towards her; comments like “El amor de mi vida” (meaning: “The love of my life”) are a testament to her star power and presence.
One fan had to comment: “THAT’S SUCH A COOL PIC.” Another chimed in: “SHE IS SO PERFECT, BLAH BLAH BLAH,” vaguely mocking comments that sound far too true when used against Grace.
