Lindsay Lohan

At our November cover shoot, actress Lindsay Lohan took our breath away with her captivating beauty and charming personality. "Underneath it all, she's really a genuine person," says photographer Matt Jones, who has worked with the actress before. "She is smart, she's funny, she's sassy. She's just fun to be around."

"We were really going for classic Lindsay," explains makeup artist Paul Starr. "Beautiful, sexy, sophisticated. It was just the best kind of Lindsay."

"Whenever we're at a shoot, the first thing she sees is the clothes, and she wants to try on everything!" says stylist Rachel Zoe, who frequently collaborates with Lindsay on assembling her outfits.

A backstage set decked out with vintage movie props had an Old Hollywood vibe that complemented Lohan's glamorous persona. "She just loves to be a girl," says Zoe. "She has so much life and sparkle to her."

The screen siren drove herself to the shoot in a sleek black Mercedes convertible. "It was quite the entrance," says hairstylist Davy Newkirk. "She showed up with convertible hair-it was great."

From flowing evening gowns to feminine cocktail dresses, the star's clothing selections were pretty, fresh and polished. "She is definitely a pro," says Jones. "She moves really well for the camera-she kind of choreographs the pictures herself."
