Zooey Deschanel is America’s newest sweetheart! After her roles in (500) Days Of Summer and as Jess on the hit Fox television show New Girl, Zooey has stolen our hearts with those big blue eyes, glossy brown hair and hilarious quirky sense of humor.

Now, Zooey is getting a head start on the New Year by being featured on the cover of the February issue of Glamour Magazine. The 32-year-old beauty looks stunning in a powder blue Prabal Gurung dress with a Louis Vuitton necklace for the Ellen von Unwerth shot-front page.

Of course, Zooey landed an accompanying interview with the fashion magazine. Check out some excerpts:

On working on her own terms: “I just realized I am happier and do better work if I’m doing what I believe in.” On not shying away from voicing her thoughts: “I’ve never had a problem saying my opinions about things,” she said, adding, “I never stop myself from doing something because I’m afraid of what people might think.” On getting along with other gals: “I did go through this period where girls would be mean and I had a lot of guy friends. But I’ve found as an adult the importance of having female and male friends.”
