“I love coffee-table books,” Welch says. Her favorites include Close Up, a collection of celebrity portraits by Martin Schoeller, and Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, purchased at the MoMA in New York City.

Gallery

Welch calls this her “wall of fame.” “It’s all of the most important people in my life,” she says. “It’s the last thing I see when I go to bed, and the first thing I see when I leave in the morning.”
