           She's been busy making a name for herself in the competitive fashion and acting worlds for over ten years, but even the beautiful Kate Bosworth has had her tough moments.

The 32-year-old stars in a stunning new shoot for The Edit, which sees her modelling SS15 couture pieces from some of her favourite designers including Givenchy and Valentino.

She also opened up to the magazine about her rollercoaster ride in Hollywood, admitting that she's sought therapy to help her cope with the ups and downs of fame.

Showing off her model looks in a series of stunning shots for the magazine, dedicated fashion-follower Kate looks at home swathed in luxe pieces from the world's top designers.

But in the accompanying interview the model and actress admits that she hasn't always been so confident. 

'I was quite armored for a lot of years,' she reveals. 'I had been going through such a hard time [in my 20s]. I felt like it was me and my experience was unique, when actually everyone goes through these challenges.'

Eventually Kate turned to her close friend and fellow model/actress Helena Christensen. 'I just said to her, "God, I am struggling… I'm feeling quite lost." And she replied, "You should have called me! I have been through that so many times." And that was when the penny finally dropped.'

Realising she needed to share more with her friends and family proved to be a huge turning point, with the star also seeking some professional help from a guidance counselor. 'I don't think I'd be where I am without her,' she says of the expert help.
