Sophie Turner Poses for InStyle UK, Talks Growing Up in the Public Spotlight

Actress Sophie Turner lands the July 2016 cover of InStyle UK, wearing a colorful top with a psychedelic print. Inside the magazine, the actress poses in Eltham Palace, an art deco house in Greenwich, London. For the feature, Sophie wears styles from the pre-fall collections including long tunics and knitwear photographed by Tung Walsh.

In her interview with British InStyle, Sophie talks about growing up in the public eye, her dating life, being self-critical and more. Talking about being publicly criticized, the redhead reveals, “That’s probably the thing I’ve struggled with the most. At first, it was the character [Sansa Stark]…When people started to know my name, as well as the character’s name, that was kind of difficult.”

Sophie Turner – InStyle UK – July 2016

“From 16 to when I turned 19, they were quite hard years. You’re in the prime of puberty; your body is changing, your face is changing, and people still saw me as that 13-year-old girl, with no body, and thought that’s how I should look forever. So, growing up and having my body transform, and my hormones, and people watching and commenting on that – that was tricky.”
