Natasha Lyonne opens up about how her 40s are the best so far and reveals she ... trends now

Natasha Lyonne has graced the cover one of five Variety's Power of Women issues, currently out now.

In the cover story, the 43-year-old actress shared how she was doing after recently quitting smoking, opened up about how her 40s are the best time of her life so far and revealed how much work she puts into her craft.

The Poker Face star — whose series just released its first-season finale and has been renewed for season two — said the reason she is finally breaking off her smoking habits is essentially because her life is going so well.

'Being in your 40s is so much better than being in your f***ing 20s and 30s,' the filmmaker said in the candid interview.

'It's so much cooler,' the Russian Doll vet added. 'It's so much sexier.'

And true to her word, Lyonne looked glamorous and sultry on the cover of the magazine.

She put a twist on a classic business look with a blue button-up blouse paired with a garter belt over Gucci micro shorts. The collar of her top was popped and decorated with a half-untied, black satin bow.

Instead of sporting her standard fiery red curls, the Orange Is The New Black alum a straight hairstyle with blunt fringe framing her face.

In the cover photo, she posed with her hands on her waist and eyed the camera, all while holding a dandelion flower in her mouth. 

'My romantic life is more happening,' Lyonne said, candidly opening up about her love life and talking about how her 40s compare to earlier decades. 'Back then, I was waiting to be selected.'

'Once you're in your 40s, you're like, "Who am I attracted to?" We're all going to die right? So I better get my living in quick,' she stated.

Because of that, as well as her flourishing acting career, Lyonne also revealed she has begun the difficult journey of abandoning her smoking habits.

'I've been putting it off for so long,' she said. 'I'm naturally wired for self-destructive crutches. I f***ing love a vice.'
