Britney Spears Covers October 2012 Elle | Pictures

Britney Spears covers the October 2012 issue of Elle, which hits newsstands Sept. 18. She also struck a pose with her husband-to-be, Jason Trawick, for the accompanying spread, shot by photographer Alexi Lubomirski and styled by Joe Zee — check out how to get Britney's look from the shoot. The next week will be busy a one for Brit as she gears up for the Sept. 12 debut of The X Factor. She touched on more personal topics with the magazine, though, including her style and how she met Jason. Here are highlights from Britney Spears in Elle:

• Britney on her style: "I love my jeans and my sweats — I'm really just a tomboy at heart. So it's really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup- and hair-ready every time I go out of my house. I'm not a believer in that, you know? On the other hand, when you do wear those sweats, you're like, 'Oh God, I should step it up a notch.'"
• Jason on how he and Britney got together: "It was kind of one of those things where she moved, like, turned around, so we were face-to-face, and then . . . "
• Britney adds: "Okay, that's enough information, sweetie. It was sweet, just say that."
