We’ve met in Key West, Florida, where Judy Blume primarily lives and owns a bookstore, and which is ground zero for Are You There God?’s promotion. This is my body, and I think that's so important to reflect back out to the world,” McAdams tells me. “With this shoot, I’m wearing latex underwear. But I also knew it wasn't quite jiving with my personality and what I needed to stay sane.” For Bustle’s photo shoot, she requested the images be edited as minimally as possible. “I love that juxtaposition of beauty, glam, fantasy, and then truth,” McAdams, 44, says of her aesthetic sensibilities. magazine in a breast pump, a bondage-style Fleur du Mal bra, and Versace jacket. The last time McAdams was doing photoshoots, to support 2017’s Disobedience, she single-handedly made lactation glamorous by posing for Girls.

As a result, her nuanced and nostalgic performance in Are You There God? seems destined to make fans add “-aissance” to the end of her last name.
DIOGENES VASQUEZ RACHEL MCADAMS MOVIE
McAdams has taken periodic breaks from Hollywood, and it has been a decade since she starred in the kind of multigenerational, feel-good movie she once gravitated toward (Richard Curtis’ About Time, the cult classic The Family Stone, even Wedding Crashers). “Not only is McAdams adorable, as she always is, but she is funny, sexy, warm, and loving,” Blume says. The adaptation gives more space to Barb, makes her someone who is achingly relatable as a grown woman who’s still in touch with her inner adolescent. “Kelly knew that Rachel McAdams was the one, and she was willing to wait ,” says Blume, who served as a producer on the film.

But I’m playing a kind of wild child, hippie artist mom doesn’t wear a bra throughout the whole film.” Going braless while breastfeeding is no joke - the leaks, the size changes - but McAdams was drawn to the creative potential. “The great irony is Margaret just can’t wait to get into a bra. “Why don’t we just try this without a bra?” McAdams, who plays Margaret’s mother, Barb, recalls her asking. Then the costume designer threw her a curveball. She’d given birth to her daughter just five months before filming started and was pumping between shots. “I felt like a milking machine,” McAdams says. Rachel McAdams’ time on the set of the book’s new film adaptation is a testament to the fact that you don’t stop feeling weird about your boobs once they come in. “We must, we must, we must increase our bust!” goes its most famous line. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, the puberty bible and icon of YA literature, is, among other things, the story of an 11-year-old’s desperation to grow breasts.
