We Asked Celebrities What Advice They'd Give Their Teenage Selves
BuzzFeed UK went to the Elle Style Awards red carpet to ask one very important question.
BuzzFeed UK went to the Elle Style Awards red carpet on Tuesday to ask the celeb guests one question: What advice would you give to your teenage self?
1. Elizabeth Olsen
Elizabeth: I feel like my teenage self would give me some advice, which would be like, just relax. [laughs]
2. Liv Tyler
Liv: I don't know! I wouldn't change... If I could go back now and give myself advice I'd just say don't worry so much and enjoy everything. I had quite a level head, and I had amazing parents who had lived crazy lives, so I got to learn from all the beautiful lessons that they taught me.
3. Daisy Lowe
Daisy: I would say care less! Definitely, just care less.
4. Charli XCX
5. Paloma Faith
Paloma: Don't bother about boys! [laughs] Eventually it all falls into place.
6. Jourdan Dunn
Jourdan: Don't stress the BS! It'll be alright in the end, and you should learn to smile more, and be happy, and love yourself more.
7. Jamie xx
Jamie: It's OK to be a nerd. Things work out in the end.
8. Charlotte Olympia Dellal and Arizona Muse
Arizona: Have fun! I was so serious as a child.
Charlotte: I was serious too! I was an older child, so I was meant to be the serious one. Eventually I learned that if you don't get caught, it's OK. But yeah, have more fun.
Arizona: And relax! I relax so much more now. And had I relaxed sooner, I would've had more fun so much sooner. I mean I did fun things, but I have more fun doing them now.
Charlotte: Exactly. Let loose!
9. Lily Donaldson and Anya Hindmarch
Anya: What I've learned is when you think you're scared, you're actually excited.
Lily: Youth is wasted on the young. No, I'm joking! Not to worry as much, I think – because you do, you worry a lot. Worry less. Don't worry, be happy.
10. Roksanda Ilincic
11. Clare Waight Keller and Lorraine Candy
Lorraine: Be happy, and don't worry about anything. Eat what you want, do what you want, and really be nice to your mum! And I'm saying that because I've got four children, and I want them to be nice to me when they're teenagers.
Clare: I kind of have to ditto that, actually – that's excellent advice. And I would say it all works out in the end, even if it seems like a real struggle, it all works out.
