Alicia Keys Covers Marie Claire and Looks Gorgeous!
On meeting her now-husband for the first time: ‘That’s When I Knew is definitely an ode to my husband… Honestly I didn’t really like him that much. I thought he was too ostentatious. Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewellery, the loudest jacket; everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, “He is so annoying”.’
On standing up for yourself: ‘You have to speak up. To say, ‘I don’t like that, it’s not cool, don’t do that to me’, but it’s not easy, especially with people you love. I think getting older has made me evolve in a lot of ways and made me more relaxed about saying how I feel, no matter what.’
On fashion from the shoot: ‘I think my favourite look is this beautiful animal print Gucci dress, I loved the way that it fell, it felt, like, elegant but at the same time fun, so I think that’s my favourite look. Oh, and also that DVF yellow jumpsuit!’
