Kate Beckinsale takes to the cover of Allure magazine for the third time in the August issue. Posing for Norman Jean Roy's lens, the actress — who turns 39 later this month — opens up to the beauty bible about not feeling attractive until later in life: "I didn't feel very attractive as a child, and actually I wasn't. Feeling attractive didn't come until I was 29 and with [my husband] Len [Wiseman]." Confessing that she likes the "liberating" feeling of being comfortable in her own skin, she can't quite wrap her head around women's notion of worrying about ageing: "What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the 'Oh, my gosh, are you worried?' questions? Worried? What about? My father died when he was 31. I think the alternative is so much worse. Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive!" Take a sneak peek at Kate's shoot now.
