Victoria Justice Does Not Want To Be Kardashian Famous

Victoria Justice is gorgeous, famous, and a total sweetheart—any guy would kill to be her date. But she left them all in the dust, bringing her mom, Selene,  to Sunday’s Diane von Furstenberg show. “Isn’t she the cutest?” the 22-year-old joked before the show. “But seriously, sometimes, you just want your mom.” Understood. Fortunately, we managed to pull the actress away for a few minutes to talk about Netflix, paparazzi, and the complications of having a guy best friend.

Yahoo Style: You must get a lot of fashion show invites. Why DVF?

Victoria Justice: She’s one of the originals! It’s exciting to be at such an iconic show, and even better, I really do wear her clothes. Everything I’ve got on right now is DvF, of course, but even when I’m not at her fashion show, I’m often wearing her things.

Your mom was just showing me a picture she took of you with Bill Cunningham. How did that happen?

I still don’t know. I am still so excited about that, you don’t even know. I’ve admired his photography, of course, but then I saw the documentary about him on [Netflix], and it made me such a fan girl. I was actually very nervous to introduce myself to him, but he was the nicest man.

He doesn’t often let people take his picture, you know…

Really? I guess if it’s his job to take the pictures, I can see how he might prefer the other side of things. You should have seen me, though. I was actually nervous to meet him. I think I was shaking a little bit.

You came into this building right after Kylie Jenner. What was that like?

A lot of cameras, right?

So many. Would you ever want to be that famous?

Famous like [a Kardashian]? You know, we’re on such different tracks… I’m definitely so grateful and excited when people say they like my work or my style, and I appreciate fans’ attention and their energy so much. But I think to be that famous, it would get really tired having paparazzi in your face all the time. I don’t know [Kylie], but she seems to handle it really well. It’s not easy.

Your new movie, Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List, is about to come out. Do you have a “no kiss list”?

I don’t think I do! Not an official one…nope. Sorry. But it’s a really special movie, and it’s about a complicated friendship with a guy…But that hasn’t been such a big story in my own life.

You’re lucky. It’s hard when you know someone so well, but for various reasons, you can’t be in love with them.

Wait, you’ve had that happen? Are you still friends with the guy?

Hey! This is supposed to be your interview.

I know, but it’s so interesting… you know, I thought of a no-kiss situation. Lipstick. When someone wears tons, the no-kiss list includes—

Everybody?

Everybody! Unless you like making a total mess.
