New interview from Look Magazine

There is a new interview from Look Magazine. Thanks to Natalia for the heads up!

When we turn up to a central London hotel to meet 90210’s Jessica Lowndes, 21, we expect the girl who plays Beverly Hills most dramatic resident to be hyperactive and and ‘totally LA’. But Jessica is very down to earth- telling LOOK how excited she is to be in London and how she spent the previous day shopping on Portobello Road. It’s a million miles away from her character, Adrianna, who’s been through teen pregnancy, drug addiction and endless man dramas. We caught up with Jessica to find out if her own life is equally as exciting.

How are you enjoying being in London?
I did so much shopping yesterday, its ridiculous! I went to Portobello Road market and I haven’t even hit Oxford Street yet!

Your character Adrianna’s style is very glam this season- how would you describe your own look?
I like to mix designer and bargains. And I love wearing clothes that make me feel sexy and feminine. But also I like to take risks. I bought so many cute sundresses at Portobello and to add edge. I’ll wear them with a leather jacket

Do you have much in-put into your on-screen outfits?
I wear whatever they put me in! This year, we have a new person incharge of the show and she has such great vision. She sees my character as more 40s and 50s inspired so now I get incredible vintage clothes. But I have the worst habit, I photocopy the tags on the clothes in the costume department and then go and buy them!

So aside from a style makeover, what else is coming up for Adrianna?
In the next few episodes, she examines her sexuality. And she’s still heartbroken over Navid, so she’s trying to numb the pain of that and she’s formed a friendship with Gia. There’s also more music in this season. I’m a musician so it’s really cool that they’ve brought that into my character. Right now, I’m writing and recording in a studio and working on an album.

Were you nervous when you found out Adrianna had a gay storyline?
I was shocked- I had no idea about the kiss {with Gia}. It was nerve-wracking but Rumer is a friend of mine so we could laugh about it.

Adrianna has some scenes in a bikini this year- did you diet for them?
If I’m going to be wearing one for the show, I try to mentally prepare for it. I don’t like working out, but the fact that all of America will see you is motivation! The paps like to get that bad shot. But I don’t stress out about it.

So there’s no special diet?
I keep a healthy lifestyle, I drink lots of water and I had a yoga class this morning. I love yoga. But I do indulge- cupcakes are my weakness.

You’re dating actor Aaron Paul, but do you set up your other female cast mates on dates?
I love to cook so I get all my friends together on the same night and introduce them to other friends. I hang out with Michael Steger {Navid} and his wife {Brandy Tucker} a lot. He’s one of my best friends.
