“The best part though is that’s Mimi. Mimi is the star. She’s my rescue cat. She was found on the streets. Her ears cut off because she was part of one of those feral — you know where they rescue them and put them back on the street and spay them and neuter them?” she shared about the photo with her black feline. “She’s just an amazing cat and it’s such a great honor to be there featuring Mimi. I’m just her background.”
Chiu explained during the table talk that the Beautiful Issue celebrates “inner beauty” and “women who are making an impact in the world,” notingcover star Jennifer Garner.
“What’s so great about this issue is it’s about celebrating the inside beauty as opposed to just the exterior beauty. And I really do believe that,” Inaba said later during the discussion.
Added Inaba: “To me that’s beauty, so I think people do get more beautiful as they get older.”
