Julie Bowen Covers ‘Lucky’ April 2013

Julie Bowen rocks a Tommy Hilfiger jacket on the cover of Lucky magazine’s April 2013 issue, on newsstands March 12.

Here is what the 43-year-old Modern Family actress had to share with the mag:

On being called beautiful: “I don’t even know what to say about that, because then, I’d have to acknowledge I was some kind of attractive ideal, and that’s just not the way I was raised. Plus, I feel like I look like the pale girl in some Flemish painting.”

On her role on Modern Family: “All I can say is, thank God for television! Our writers are flexible enough to write to my strengths and open-minded enough to imagine Claire in a car pool and naked in a hot spring. I needed good material. I’m not like Amy Poehler, who can make anything funny.”

On having to amp up her style: “It was a big evolution in style for me to grow up and say ‘I need to take fashion seriously for my job.’ I have a stylist now, and she’s trying to get me to wear more revealing stuff. She’s Kristen Stewart‘s stylist, I go there and see all this amazing funky stuff, and I know it’s for her. If I get K-Stew’s castoffs, that’s all right with me.”
