"We've loved Pompeo's role as Meredith Grey for almost *six* years. Off-screen, the *Grey's Anatomy* star is happily married and a new mom! At our April shoot, we found how how she became her sexiest SELF ever.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe actress, known for her casually chic style, [arrived](http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/01/09/ellen-pompeo-doesnt-mix-friends/) in a black leather jacket, a black jersey dress by Jay Ahr and black ankle booties by Madison Hardy. On set, she personally introduced herself to each and every crew member.\\n\\n\\n\\nPompeo knows what she likes when it comes to fashion--she went through our racks and picked out the pieces she loved, including a electric blue Rag &amp; Bone dress she compared to a jumpsuit by Alexander McQueen that she recently bought and [wore](http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/01/09/ellen-pompeo-talks-dr-mcbaby-on-jimmy-kimmel-live/) on *Jimmy Kimmel Live*.\\n\\n\\n\\nShe's also a do-gooder: her sister is on the board of nine shelters in Boston, MA, and Pompeo sends all the extra freebies she gets for her daughter, Stella, to the shelters. She also always buys extra formulas and diapers to send along when she goes to the supermarket.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe star is superclose to her makeup artist, Joanna Sclip, and hairstylist, Danilo, and the three had a blast on-set. Go behind the scenes with her team to see what went down at our cover shoot!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
