Evan Rachel Wood’s Vanity Fair cover shoot at 15: ‘Shut up and do what you are told’

Us Weekly reports that the actress felt pressured, degraded and rushed on the set of her first VF cover.

After a fan tweeted the cover photo from a 2003 Vanity Fair photo with Evan Rachel Wood and eight other teenage starlets at the time, Wood gave a heartfelt and glaring review of the shoot, which took place when she was 15 years old.

Us Weekly reports that the actress felt pressured, degraded and rushed on the set of her first VF cover. The fan tweeted the photo on Wednesday.

In a series of tweets, Wood responded to the fan, who tagged her original tweet with the hashtag, “never forget.”

“I was almost in tears after this shoot,” Wood tweeted. “They tried that dress on me, I wasnt comfortable but they told me there was no time …

— cause everyone else took up too much time with their fittings. Then I was given a choice on whether I —

— wanted to wear flats or heels. I chose flats and was immediately handed heels and told they looked better. Then we were —

— all lined up, stared at and approved. I was 15 and felt for the first time my identity being erased and the pressure —

—  to shut up and do what you are told. I felt like meat. Since then, I have found my voice. Never again.”

Other starlets who appeared on the VF cover include: Amanda Bynes, Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff, Alexis Bledel, Raven-Symone, Lindsey Lohan and the Olsen twins. The headline on the cover read, : It’s Totally Raining Teens! And, It’s, Like, So a Major Moment in Pop Culture”.

Wood added that she has since appeared on the cover of VF and the experience was “lovely.”
