Claire Danes graces the the September Fall 2009 fashion issue of Blackbook Magazine, modeling the current ’80s revival in high fashion.

The shoot was inspired by the ‘Greed Decade’ and displays the actress’ inner sexiness, a side of her we don’t see too often.

In her interview Claire talks about her upcoming wedding to Hugh Dancy to be held in France and her upcoming film projects.

Claire is set to star in the Richard Linklater directed movie “Me and Orson Welles” which also stars Zac Efron.

On Narciso Rodriguez designing her wedding dress: “I’ve known Narciso since I was 16, and he’s made a lot of dresses with and for me. So it’s really special that this time it’s the dress.”

What’s not to love about Amy Adams? She’s smart, funny, intelligent, talented and beautiful.

She earned her second Oscar nomination this year for her role as a naive young nun alongside Meryl Streep in Doubt, but in her interview with BlackBook the actress, says she’s most excited about new roles that will allow film audiences to see another side of her acting talent.

She’ll play Amelia Earhart in Night At The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian.

“Tight jodhpurs,” Amy laughs. “It’s going to be an Amy Adams butt show. I was like, ‘That’s a lot of information.’ I’m not known for showing my ass on camera, but there it is.”

The movie opens in May.

Amy also stars alongside Emily Blunt in the critically-acclaimed Sundance hit Sunshine Cleaning.

“We went a couple of different ways with my character, Rose. One was the ‘mom jeans’ way, and then there was the pseudo-prostitute version.”

On her goodie-two-shoes image: “I misbehave. I just do it in private”.

We are more likely to see Tilda wearing designers with an edge or a touch of eccentricity like Christian Dior, Lanvin and YSL.

For her BlackBook September 2008 editorial, Tilda wears a lot of Rodarte, a look that fits her so well, but one that she has not worn yet on the red carpet. But to be fair, it may be hard for even Tilda to make the Rodarte designs translate well on the red carpet.

Her are some extracts from her interview:

On making her own clothes: “I wore a dress the other day that I made when I was 15 or 16… It was hand done, because I had never learned how to operate an electric sewing machine. Maybe that’s the reason I like wearing hand-made clothes, because I really appreciate the work that goes into them.”

On her favourite designers, Viktor & Rolf: “They made a really personal and slightly untidy and vagrant attitude in me really beautiful in the clothes they created–and that’s really a dream.”

On Rodarte: “Their clothes have attitude. And the physical quality of their clothes is delicious… You can feel that hands made their clothes.”

On winning an Academy Award: “The Motion Academy of doo da - what was it called? The prize is probably the most famous in the world. For months, at least, people can tell you who won the Oscars, but nobody really knows who wins the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s shameful, but true. A lot of people really want one - really, really want one. And I’m embarrassed because I never did, and I feel a little ashamed that I was given one when I didn’t really want one.”

On who gave her the nickname ‘Swilda’: “The only person I ever met who called me Swilda, who gave me that name, is Matt Dillon… I don’t know. Maybe he was drunk.”
