Megan Fox

Megan Fox trudges onto a sound stage on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico, dressed like a college student: sweats, hiking boots and a puffy jacket, its fur-rimmed hood pulled tight over her head. She would blend in perfectly on campus—the soundstage is inside the theater of a community college—were it not for the words “Patricia Field” scrawled in gold rope along the back of the jacket. And were it not for the fact that Field herself gave Megan Fox the jacket, during the second season of Hope & Faith, the sitcom on which Field served as costume designer and Megan Fox portrayed a sullen, sexy teenager. After the New York–based series was canceled in 2006, the Florida-raised actress hightailed it to Los Angeles, where she has been living ever since. The gold-adorned puffer remains her only winter coat.

Megan Fox wishes she looked a little more sophisticated in her skivvies.

“There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn’t necessarily provoke a pinup image,” the actress, 23, tells the March issue of W magazine.

“But with me, it does, immediately. As soon as I’m in underwear, I’m a Vargas girl,” adds Fox, referring to the curvy women featured in ads from the 1940s.

Fox says she has “no confidence, and because of that, I’m always second-guessing myself.”

She also doesn’t have a lot of famous friends (besides beau Brian Austin Green, whom she’s been dating on and off since 2004).

“I especially don’t trust girls in this industry, because it’s incredibly competitive, and I’m just not interested,” she tells the magazine.
