Bailey Bass has recently made waves in Hollywood for her roles in Avatar: The Way of Water and Interview With a Vampire, but she’s been acting and modeling since she was 2 years old.

On this episode, Bass discusses the best and worst advice she’s received while coming up in Hollywood, her path to financial security, and why she’s leaning into slow fashion with her own line, BaiBai.

She’s so Julia! Between her incredible style and her deeply personal creative projects, Julia Fox is nothing short of a cultural icon.

On this episode of Nice Talk, Julia dives into how her childhood circumstances shaped her view of money, why she views celibacy as a political act, and how her perspective has shifted around her image.

Welcome to the very first episode of Nice Talk! To kick things off, Nikki Ogunnaike is sitting down with Marie Claire cover star Victoria Justice to talk all things money, power, and style. If you’re like us, you became a fan of Justice in the early 2000s when she landed her breakout role as Lola Martinez on Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101. She went on to star in her own show, Victorious, at the age of 17, which allowed her to live her dreams of acting and singing at a young age. After taking a short break from the spotlight, she’s now ready to dive back in—only this time, she’s writing and releasing music independently. In this episode, Justice shares how she learned to step into her power even as a child actor, how her music and fashion tastes have evolved over the years, and what challenges she’s facing head-on as a newly independent artist.

Welcome to Nice Talk, hosted by Marie Claire Editor in Chief Nikki Ogunnaike. Each week, Nikki's sitting down with fascinating women—entertainers, entrepreneurs, creators, athletes, and changemakers—to discuss money, power, and style.
