Mandy Moore is a total pro when it comes to Lucky covers: “It’s my fourth time doing this and I’ve learned to expect two things: It’ll be easy and really, really fun,” said the 25-year-old singer/songwriter/actress, who arrived at our L.A. shoot in a low-key outfit of Current/Elliott jeans, a gray tee, and Loeffler Randall flats. True to her laid-back aesthetic, the newly married Moore (her spouse is alt-country rocker Ryan Adams) gravitated towards quietly chic pieces as she dug into our clothing racks and trays of jewelry. “I’m really into simple things I can grab and wear every day,” she said. “I get bored with anything too statement-y.”

ON HER MUSICAL INSPIRATION:

“I have this idea of living in Laurel Canyon in the early ‘70s and Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, and the Zappos would just sort of hang out and jam with one another. It seems like such an ideal time to be an artist.”

ON HER FASHION INSPIRATION:

“My husband and I have been watching a lot of Moonlighting randomly. He introduced me to it and I have to say, I’m sort of obsessed with that era. Cybill Shepherd rocked some pretty unbelievable outfits.”
