JESSICA ALBA REGRETS HER EARLY TATTOO, REVEALS SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE GETTING IT REMOVED
"Looking back, when I shot my first InStyle cover, I was insecure. I felt like I needed to be someone I wasn’t in order to be accepted. I allowed other people’s ideas of who they thought I should be to define me," the 38-year-old wrote in an essay for InStyle.
She continued, "Who am I now? I give zero f–ks. I have three children. They’ve exploded my body, and I’m cool with it. And I know I’m smart. I don’t care what everybody else thinks. I’m good, girl. I’m good."

The mom of three recalled what it was like when she landed the cover of the magazine at age 26.
"By that time I’d been in the [entertainment] business for over a decade, but I was still trying to figure out how to be in the public eye and have ownership over who I was,” she said. “Ninety percent of what people understood about me then came purely from magazine articles, press-tour interviews, and blurbs of gossip."

It would be six more years until Alba would grace the cover of InStyle again. Then 31, Alba said she was finally confident with herself.
"I also stopped allowing myself to be objectified in the press through a male’s perspective," the Honest Beauty founder wrote. "Screw that, man. It’s OK to be sexy. It’s OK to wear a short skirt or a loud print if I feel like it because I own it in my own way. I can flaunt what I want, cover what I want, and still feel good."
