Sk8tr songstress: Avril Lavigne

From skateboards to couture -- this Canadian rocker has arrived.

By David Giammarco

This pouty punk princess turned fashionista has had one roller-coaster moment after another this year. Ms. Lavigne signed on with Ford models in January, two of her three new films premiered at Cannes in May, and she just recently tied the knot with her longtime love, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley.

ELLE was able to catch this ever-rising starlette in the midst of her whirlwind life for a few words on fashion, style, life, and embarrassing tween-age daydreams.

ELLE Canada: How do you like modelling so far?

Avril Lavigne: "When you put on all these outfits for a fashion shoot, like I did for ELLE Canada, you just feel so beautiful. The clothes were awesome -- really cool. Before, I wasn't open to wearing dresses and frilly stuff, but now I'm totally into it. Now it's fun for me. I can totally be a chick, put on the most expensive clothes and go stand in front of the camera -- like who the hell wouldn't want to do that?"

EC: Do you think stylists have too much influence on a person's look?

AL: "I think they really can. Sometimes a stylist's clients all look the same -- it's hysterical! I just started working with a stylist, and I like her because she totally gets me. She gets my rock edge and adds in things that maybe I wouldn't find. But I love having a stylist mostly because I hate going shopping. It's so annoying. And if you have a stylist, it usually means free clothes! [laughs] I always had a stylist when it came time to do things like [The Tonight Show With] Jay Leno and all those shows, but on my tours and in my everyday life it was all just me. No one ever influenced my style."

EC: What are the three must-have items in your purse?

AL: "Black eyeliner, mascara -- I love mascara -- and lip moisturizer. And, by the way, I have the longest eyelashes in the world! All the makeup artists tell me they've never seen eyelashes as long as mine!"
