Steven Klein was the photographer for this shoot, and he really did make some magic happen. I love this shoot, which was titled “The Honourable Daphne Guinness”.
You can see from the editorial, that the shoot was done pre-pixie cut, and to be fair, the way her hair was styled in this shoot, the pixie was the right thing to do.
Victoria was recently speaking to the Sun newspaper about her new lifestyle, her lawsuit against a magazine and her success. Here are some extracts from her interview:
On her new lifestyle: “I run four miles, seven days a week. I feel energised and healthy — there are really nice gyms here and I just enjoy it. […] David puts music on my iPod and Gordon Ramsay bought me trainers where you have a little chip so you can clock how far you’re running. I am eating more. I think you do eat more when you’re working out. And you want to eat healthily, so it’s good all round. I don’t really go shopping any more — apart from the flea market I go to every Sunday.”
On her current lawsuit against a magazine that claimed she took diet pills: “Lots of young girls do look up to me, and I just think it’s ludicrous that they can completely make something like that up. You have to take these things really seriously.”
On her success: “Things are really positive for me and I feel so content. I feel proud of myself because I’ve worked for it and, let’s face it, I don’t have to. I’m so content I’ve even been smiling a bit these days. It feels fantastic that everything I’ve worked so hard for over the past five years is coming together. I’ve been on the covers of Vogue, I’m respected in the fashion industry, and Anna Wintour takes my calls.”
I love that last line. I would brag about that too, if it were true.
Steven Klein has really captured her timeless beauty in this dramatic shoot.
This is one of many projects for the supermodel. She is currently the face of Prada’s lace campaign, and she is the international spokesperson for L’Oreal’s.
The beauty company announced a profit boost of 20 per cent since she appeared in their TV adverts, which just goes to prove that we prefer familiar faces selling us products.
With her trademark crop slicked back, Rihanna wore a haltered Gucci Fall 2008 dress, which is very much on the folk trend of the Fall season.
Unfortunately I do not think it does her any favours, as it does not flatter her at all.
Mischa Barton is 22 years old, so why is she styling her hair like a 60 year old woman.
Despite the ombre detail on the hem of this Alviero Martini dress, Mischa still manages to make it look very boring.
Italian actress Anita Caprioli brighten up the red carpet in her stunning vibrant violet Givenchy Fall 2008 Couture dress, with matching tights and heels.
This dress is similar, but not the same dress that Hilary Swank wore to Fashion Rocks recently.
Joely Richardson showed off her lean figure in a ivory sequined plunge-neck gown.
Margherita Missoni wore a embellished black dress from the Missoni Fall 2008 collection.
The surprise for me here is that Margherita wore head to toe black, considering her mother’s collections are always so colourful.
I can not believe it has already been a year since Vogue India launched its first issue. At the time I was very surprised that India’s poster girl Aishwarya Rai was not on the cover, but they have saved her for their 1st anniversary issue.
The actress, dubbed one of the most beautiful women in the world, looks just that – beautiful on the cover wearing a Christian Dior Fall 2008 Couture strapless gown.
The amazing gown is covered in paillettes, but the drama does not stop there, as it also has a stunning tulle train.
Well worth the wait.
It looks like designers featuring in editorials is a new trend.
We have seen how wrong it can go if star is a little lackluster like Jessica Biel for Harper’s Bazaar, and we have seen how fantastic the idea can work, with someone who has a spark like Jennifer Lopez for Elle.
Now we have Emma Watson in a similar editorial for Harper’s Bazaar UK, with a whole host British designers.
The Alexander McQueen dress above may look familiar, and because Emma wore the same dress without the cape to the The National Movie Awards recently.
We have been seeing Emma around a lot recently. She featured in Vogue Italia September 2008, and we have seen a lot of her at London Fashion Week last week. Hopefully we will get to see more of her work in the future.
Here is the rest of her bewitching editorial.
I particularly adore the pictures of her floating above Matthew Williamson and the spooky Giles one.
The singer was wearing a dreamy strapless wool Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2008 gown, with a blue tulle skirt.
These pictures, along with the rest of Jennifer Lopez’ editorial will appear in November issue of InStyle Greece.
Can’t wait to see the final result.
It has been a very fashionable week for Jennifer Lopez, and it’s only Tuesday.
