The guys over at Egotastic! might need a change of pants after viewing Kristen Stewart‘s editorial in Vogue shot by (surprise!) Mario Testino. She’s attained the covetable status of “second stage hotness,” as opposed to ” the first stage that burns off after take-off, but the second stage of hotness, that keeps up with repeat viewings….” Straight guys continue to baffle and amuse me.

Just Jared is reporting that Lady Gaga will finally get a cover of American Vogue shot by Wintour stable staple, Mario Testino. Early guess, Gaga dressed as Anna Wintour dressed as Grace Coddington dressed as André Leon Talley. Wait for it. Dressed as Lady Gaga.

If I had a nickel for every single time I saw an editorial featuring a half-naked Kate moss clad in a shaggy fur coat, I would have bought a Chanel 2.55 handbag many moons ago. Needless to say, the concept of the shoot was slightly unoriginal. I understand that the concept for this particular photo set was not overly risky due to the fact that it is the cover editorial. In contrast, the other editorials featured, particularly “And God Created Woman” featuring Guinevere van Seenus (click here for photos), really drew me in. Superstar stylist, Lucinda Chambers, took many hints from the Prada, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs A/W RTW shows through the means of sky-high beehives and headbands, past-the-knee wool skirts, ladylike corsets and 1950s inspired knits.
It has been a long time since the American Vogue made me go “WOW!”. It’s just not what it used to be! To top it, Halle is sporting an unflattering bob wig that is eerily reminiscent of Catherine Zeta Jones’ character in Chicago and a yawn-inducing wardrobe. I’m also really upset about the fact that the vast majority of Western fashion magazines feature celebrities on the cover simply to sell more issues. In particular, I was shocked to find that Halle Berry was going to be the cover girl for this issue. When was the last time she starred in a successful film or accomplished something great? Something tells me that Anna Wintour was looking for newsworthy buzz to surround Vogue (Halle Berry is the first African American woman to cover a Vogue September issue since 1989). All in all, the issue seems like it is going to be incredibly disappointing.
Things began to perk up when I flipped through the editorials of Vogue issues from further east. In this particular one, Constance is decked out in a killer mix of A/W 2010 RTW Hermes, Stella McCartney and Michael Kors (whose fur/camel pieces are my favorite items in all of the autumn/winter collections, I might add). You can never go wrong with Constance Jablonski! To me, she’s the epitome of fresh-faced beauty.

Vogue has unleashed their September cover, featuring the beautiful Halle Berry. About her feature, she said, “What that means for a woman of color and what that means in the fashion world, what that means to pop culture, there was no way I could say, ‘No I’m not going to be on the biggest issue of the year.’”
She looks great. I’ll be picking up a copy!
Will you?

Here’s the cover we’ve all been waiting for, Halle Berry for US Vogue September 2010 issue. Photographed by Mario Testino sporting an Anna Wintour styled bob, she is very glamboyant and I love it.
Some highlights from the September 2010 issue:
On her first interview in three years:
“I was burned-out with having other people tell the story about me that
they wanted to tell. I told my publicist, ‘I’m not going to talk
anymore. I’m just going to live my life and be who I am.’”
On being asked to be on the cover of the September issue of Vogue:
“What that means for a woman of color and what that means in the
fashion world, what that means to pop culture, there was no way I could
say, ‘No I’m not going to be on the biggest issue of the year.’”
On the “Oscar curse”:
“Everybody talks about the
Oscar curse,” she says. “People win Oscars, and then it seems like they
fall off the planet. And that’s partly because a huge expectation walks
in the room and sits right down on top of your head. The moment I won
the Oscar, I felt the teardown the very next day. I thought, If I’m
going down, I’m going down taking chances and daring to risk. Hence…Catwoman.”
On her appreciation of the female body:
“I love the naked female form…. I just feel like that’s the most empowered position you can be in.”
“That comes with age,” she says. “I’ve been slowly getting there.
If the world wouldn’t persecute me, I’d take nude pictures every day of
the week.”
On her relationship and breakup with Gabriel Aubry:
“It’s just that you realize you are not meant to go the
distance with everybody,” she says. “We were meant to bring this amazing
little person into the world. And I think that’s why we came together.
And because of that, we are going to be together forever, all three of
us. We are a family until we are not here anymore.”
“We have always been friends, we’re still friends, we love each
other very much, and we both share the love of our lives. And we are
both 100 percent committed to being the best parents we can be. And
while it was not a love connection for us, he was absolutely the right
person to have this child with because she is going to have an amazing
father. And that was really important to me. We’ll make sure we always
do what is right for her and put her first. And she will see as she
grows that we have a lot of love for each other.”
