HOMETOWN: Havana, Cuba. CURRENT RESIDENCE: Miami. AGE: 21. ROLLED IN: The singer-songwriter, fresh off a night
performing alongside Taylor Swift, brought her mom to the set, located on a farm near the outskirts of Nashville.
PHOTOGRAPH BY SOFIA SANCHEZ AND MAURO MONGIELLO

MUSIC CITY: Camila’s mom played DJ, choosing an eclectic mix of country and ’90s remixes from Camila’s iPhone. SCENIC ROUTE:
After the shoot, Camila headed east to Walland, Tennessee, for some R&R at Blackberry Farm, a 4,200-acre resort in the Great
Smoky Mountains. BEAUTY ROUTINE: “Camila is a no-frills kind of girl,” says makeup artist Allan Avendaño. “She’s so beautiful
without makeup that adding just a subtle hint of earth tones and depth made her look like an elevated version of herself.”
After setting the singer’s complexion with foundation and a light dusting of powder, Avendaño blended soft matte-brown shadow into
the lids, extending it past the outer corners to elongate the eyes before applying two coats of black mascara. Brow mousse
and a moisturizing tinted lip balm polished the look. Camila’s hairstyle was inspired by an iconic beauty moment: Cindy Crawford’s
bombshell blowout in the classic Pepsi ads of the ’90s. To achieve the same lift and volume, hairstylist Peter Savic blowdried
her hair with mousse, then teased strands from the roots and set the style with hairspray. FOLLOW: @camila_cabello.

Afghanistan
When bombs started falling on Kabul, this 15 year

old fled with her mother and six siblings to India.
Her father stayed behind, and sends money when

he can. Culturally, her mother cannot work, so their
family has no other source of income.
In Afghanistan she was not allowed to go to school,

but in India she has the freedom to learn, although
she fears that if her father found out, he would
stop her. So she has chosen to remain anonymous.
With an education she sees a future where she can

make her own decisions. Her dream is to become
a fashion designer, not a wife in an arranged marriage
where she is forbidden to work.

MARIE CLAIRE BEHIND THE
SCENES OF A DAY ON SET
BY ANNA PEELE
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ALLIE HOLLOWAY
It was Savannah Guthrie’s job to tell us. After more
than 20 years of hosting Today, Matt Lauer was out.
On November 29, 2017, Guthrie appeared to be
struggling to reconcile the alleged abusive actions of
her friend and coanchor, the upheaval of her work-
place, and the fallout from the #MeToo movement,
televised in real time. In NBC News chairman Andy
Lack’s words, which Guthrie read live on air moments
after she heard the news herself, “We received a
detailed complaint from a colleague about inappro-
priate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt
Lauer.… While it is the first complaint about his
behavior in the over 20 years he’s been at NBC News,
we were also presented with reason to believe this
may not have been an isolated incident.”
Guthrie’s voice wavers in the footage. She had to
break one of the most difficult stories of her career,
about the guy who’d been sitting next to her for over
five years. The guy her children knew. The guy America
loved. “I was terrified,” she tells me nine months later,
in her office at the famed 30 Rock building in Midtown
Manhattan. “Terrified to think of who would possibly
sit next to me [in Lauer’s place], and could I hold this
show? I didn’t think so. In fact, I knew I couldn’t.”
But in video of that moment, Guthrie looks to her
left and Hoda Kotb is there; she grabs Kotb’s hand,
and it’s like she’s clinging onto a railing. She seems

WHERE DID ALL MY

WORLD, TRUE FRIENDSHIPS
REMAIN ELUSIVE FOR YOUNG
WOMEN LOOKING TO REBUILD
THEIR COLLEGE-ERA SQUADS

M
agazine art designer Susanna Hayward, 24, refers to
the period when she first moved to New York as
“the dark times.” She’d call her parents back home
in Missouri and report, “I’m shoulder to shoulder
with people every day, but I am so lonely. I have no
one to talk to, and everyone is on their phones.
Everyone already has a life.”
“How to find friends in adulthood” is a common
enough problem that it pops right up as a Google search term. But

the dilemma may be most keenly felt by recent college grads, who
are often relocating to new cities and starting over in every sense
and are also accustomed to the easy social immediacy of college
life—where it’s not “Let’s grab a drink sometime” but “Let’s go out
tonight.” After you spend four years conveniently sardine-packed
next to people your own age, the process of making friends in
adulthood can feel excruciatingly slow, if not altogether impossible.
“When you get out of college, you’re like, ‘I just spent four
years meeting people every day. I am so good at making
friends,’ ” Maggie Dolan says with a laugh. But when the
25-year-old moved to a town just outside of Seattle last year
and started her first real job, in a bank branch populated by
“sweet and nice colleagues—just not on the same page,”
reality struck. Holy crap, she recalls thinking. This is a
little harder than I thought it was going to be.
“It’s something that people don’t really bring up,”
says Korrie Merley, 24, who moved to Minneapolis in
2016 for a job in PR. “You don’t want to say, ‘Oh, I
don’t feel like I have many good friends.’ But once
I’ve mentioned it, people go, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re
dealing with that too?’ ”
This difficulty coincides with a moment in
life when a wingwoman has never felt more
necessary—and with a moment in the
culture in which young women are
increasingly certain that the support
system they need is not romantic but
platonic. And, crucially, female. When

posted on Facebook about a summer job opening at one of
the gourmet snack stalls at Smorgasburg, the tourist-mobbed
weekend Brooklyn food fest. On the company’s Instagram
page, Studach “saw these fun people looking like they were
enjoying their work, but also each other.” So every weekend
last summer, she spent hours doling out balls of flash-fried
cookie dough to hipsters in droves—and accomplished her
goal of meeting people. Dolan also tried the weekend-job
approach, picking up a Sunday shift at a local Irish pub. But

THE COHOST OF THE VIEW AND STAR OF THE

COMEDY NOBODY’S FOOL ON FEARLESSNESS, HER
AUDIOBOOK HABIT, AND SCHOOLING HOLLYWOOD
1. IF I WEREN’T AN ACTOR, I’D BE: A shrink or a lawyer—one of the two—
because you have to be able to tell good stories when you’re a lawyer,
and you have to be able to listen and know a bad story when you’re a shrink.
2. BEST CAREER ADVICE I’VE GOTTEN: Came from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel at the beginning of my career
when they both said to me and my mother, “Make sure you enjoy this ride.” It’s important. Lots of people
will try to stop you from having a good time, but the very first time is always wonderful, so enjoy it.
3. THE THREE QUALITIES THAT GOT ME WHERE I AM TODAY: Talent, luck, and humor.
4. CHANGE I’D LIKE TO SEE IN MY INDUSTRY: The fact that people get older seems to be a shock to the industry.
I wish that they’d get over that. I’d like them to stop being surprised that someone has gotten older and smarter.
5. HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST DOLLAR? I worked in a morgue.

6. WHO DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHY? I admired my mom because she made me fearless,
and that is a trait you have to have if you are going to do what I do.
7. LAST THING I BINGE-WATCHED: Castle Rock on Hulu.

8. BOOK THAT LEFT A LASTING IMPRESSION ON ME: Well, the truth is—and this is going to sound crazy, but there
is an amazing book called Toddlers Are A**holes (It’s Not Your Fault) [by Bunmi Laditan], and it is wonderful. It left an impression
on me because someone is telling you the truth about toddlers, and it’s fun, and I love it. That’s the last one that did.
9. SONG THAT ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY: “Nessun Dorma,” by Puccini.

10. SONG I’D WANT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL: “Always,” written by Irving Berlin.
11. IF I COULD LIVE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, IT WOULD BE: Greece.
12. WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD TRY ONCE IN HER LIFETIME: Not giving a rat’s butt what other people
think of her. That’s the thing you should try in your lifetime.
13. ONE THING I’M EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AT: I think I’m good at seeing a bigger picture.
14. ONE THING I’M EPICALLY BAD AT: Hiding my feelings. Apparently, everything is on my face.
15. SOMETHING BETTER IN THEORY THAN IN PRACTICE: Throuples.
16. STORE I CAN’T LEAVE WITHOUT BUYING SOMETHING: Audible Books. You get hurt
trying to interrupt me while I’m listening.
17. THE THREE QUALITIES I THOUGHT I WANTED IN A PARTNER: Heart, humor, and truth.
18. THE THREE QUALITIES I KNOW NOW MATTER: Integrity, trustworthiness, and laughter.
SARAH LEE/EYEVINE/REDUX
19. ADVICE TO A WOMAN WITH A BROKEN HEART: Clearly, you can do better.
20. RELATIONSHIP ADVICE TO MY YOUNGER SELF: No, you never have to get married.
21. THE CRAZIEST THING I DID FOR LOVE: Got married.
