Fergie is featured in the new issue of Elle next month. So are an abundance of wild, crazy and traditional hairstyles the Black Eyed Pea has sported over the years.

When she’s mocked for her looks, the singer takes it personally.

“It has hurt me in the past when people say things like how ‘fugly’ I am or how horrible I look,” she says. “I’ve had to learn not to give it a high priority. When you’re trying to juggle all of this in your life, sometimes you’re not going to look perfect.”

“I don’t have time to get a facial every couple of days.”

The star’s relationship style changed as often as her hair since marrying Josh Duhamel in January 2009, although she’s also had to weather a storm on that front – a cheating scandal involving Atlanta stripper Nicole Forrester.

Like her battle with esteem issues, though, she appears to have prevailed in the end.

“You grow a deeper love for each other, besides the initial lust and falling in love and all of that,” she adds about their marriage. “You come to know each other a lot better, you grow together, and it makes you love each other that much deeper.”
