"  Welcome to the &amp;#039;90s: Here&amp;#039;s how we pulled off our shambolic-chic cover shoot starring Amanda Seyfried as a modern-day grunge girl. Photographer Carter Smith: &amp;quot;We took over a huge suite at NYC&amp;#039;s Waldorf Astoria Hotel, with dozens of people. There was a wild, rotating cast of characters, from male models in dresses to Donatella Versace, who stopped by at one point\u2014turns out she lives upstairs when she&amp;#039;s in town. It was crazy!&amp;quot; ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee: &amp;quot;I loved Saint Laurent and Givenchy&amp;#039;s fall collections and was inspired by Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain.&amp;quot; Hairstylist Harry Josh: &amp;quot;Amanda kept cracking everyone up\u2014she was game for anything, including transforming her naturally silky hair into a sexy, tangled mess. I used Serge Normant&amp;#039;s Meta Revive Dry Shampoo for a perfectly matted effect.&amp;quot; Makeup artist Polly Osmond: &amp;quot;To top it off, we used only a deep red Cl\u00E9 de Peau Beaut\u00E9 lipstick. Other than that, she was barefaced\u2014and rocked it.&amp;quot; Assistant Fashion Editor Sarah Schussheim: &amp;quot;With Nirvana and Soundgarden playing, the workday felt like a downtown after-party. It turned out to be just the beginning: Amanda wore one of the Saint Laurent dresses party hopping, straight from the set!&amp;quot; Click here to shop the inspiration behind the cover "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
