Emma Watson Vampy For W

Emma Watson smoulders on the cover of the June/July issue of W magazine.

Sporting romantic old school curls and popping red lips, the 23-year-old actress strikes a sultry pose for the camera lens of Michael Thompson, in a printed Louis Vuitton jacket and sexy shorts.

Emma explains to the magazine how it was like to play thieving Valley vixen Nicki, in her upcoming film ‘The Bling Ring‘.

“I was dying to play her. Nicki is so different from me. How do I try and understand a young woman who loves these things so much that she is prepared to commit crimes to have them?… With Nicki, I was really taking on a character. Some of her lines are so crazy and absurd — making sure she wasn’t a parody was a challenge”, Emma confesses to W.

For her moody editorial, styled by Edward Enninful, Emma gets styled in standout designs from Chanel, Erdem, Prada and Marc Jacobs.

Nicki Minaj Rocks Cotton Candy Hair For Allure

Avant-garde rapper Nicki Minaj is all about the big fake hair on the cover of the April issue of Allure magazine.

Showing a bit a cleavage, the ‘Starships’ rapper dons a larger-than-life cotton candy wig, with matching pink lips, on the Michael Thompson-shot cover.

The 29-year-old reveals to the magazine of a chat she had with Jay-Z about world domination.

“I never thought about music as just being the end-all, be-all. I always looked at it like a business, something that I could create an empire out of. So that’s why I’m only about to put out my second album and I’m already thinking about this. I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. He said, ‘Congratulations on all your success.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul’”, Nicki shares with Allure.

Michelle Williams Sexy For GQ

Dubbed ‘Best Actress’ for their unofficial awards, Oscar hopeful Michelle Williams covers the February issue of US GQ magazine.

The 31-year-old screen siren once again channels a bit of Marilyn Monroe with a blonde wig and popping red lips, for the lens of Michael Thompson. The ‘My Week With Marilyn‘ star looks seductive in an Alexander Wang cardigan, paired with a bra and panties by Stella McCartney.

Michelle opens up to the magazine about how partner Heath Ledger’s sudden death impacted her life.

“It was making me crazy. I felt like I was going crazy. It was too much — trying to deal with what had happened and trying to deal with what was at our doorstep. I just felt trapped. And it’s not just me — there’s somebody else who I’m trying to protect [daughter Matilda], and I can’t. I can’t make it stop, I can’t make it go away. Trying to find ways to explain it or shield her from it. It’s like you’re trying to go about your life, and make dinner”, Michelle shares with GQ.

Head below for a peek at Michelle looking sinfully sexy in more designs by Stella McCartney, La Perla and Agent Provocateur:

Rooney Mara Gets Soft For Allure

We are so used to seeing girl-of-the-moment Rooney Mara styled in an edgy manner, so much so that one has to do a double take to ensure that it’s really her on the cover of the January issue of Allure.

‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘ star graces the magazine’s year opener edition, refreshingly styled in a very soft and elegant way. Photographed by Michael Thompson, the 26-year-old actress looks like Demi Moore with slicked-back hair.

Rooney sheds some light on why director David Fincher went with an unknown person for the role of Lisbeth Salander.

“I don’t think David’s intention was ever to hire someone well-known. To make this movie, he needed someone that people were unfamiliar with because it’s the only way they would really believe this character. She’s such a mystery. You couldn’t hire someone that people already have a relationship with”, Rooney explains to Allure.

Checkout her romantic editorial, shot at a beach, below:

Ashley Greene Adorable For Allure

‘Twilight actress Ashley Greene looks adorable on the cover of the November issue of Allure magazine.

The 24-year-old, with long dark locks, gives a lovely smile on the Michael Thompson-shot cover. Ashley talks to the magazine about singer/actress Demi Lovato, who she snagged then-boyfriend Joe Jonas from.

“She and I never had a problem with each other. But, you know, it doesn’t go away… Jen Aniston still gets asked about Angelina Jolie”, Ashley points out to the magazine.

Ashley further talks about ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and how she doesn’t like to talk about him.

“I just don’t want it to overshadow anything else, and it always seems to. There are certain people who are really great about keeping their private lives private. I’m not that good at it”.

 

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried Play Presidential Couple For W

Justin Timberlake, once again accompanied by one of his beautiful leading ladies — this time actress Amanda Seyfried — fronts the cover of the October issue of W magazine.

Promoting their latest sci-fi movie ‘In Time’, the duo portray the quintessential picture-perfect political couple, with JT as the presidential candidate and Amanda as the First Lady to-be. Photographed by Michael Thompson, the 30-year-old actor/singer suits up in Calvin Klein, while the 25-year-old actress looks squeaky-clean in a silk and nylon dress also by Calvin Klein.

JT talks to the magazine about how hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ for the first time in 2003 changed his acting career for the better.

“Hosting SNL was something I’d always wanted to do. The show allowed me to play to my strengths — mixing music with comedy seemed like a way into that world. And then, the second time I hosted, I did the digital short”, JT explains to W.

Jessica Alba Is A Wood Nymph For Allure

Allure magazine’s August issue covergirl Jessica Alba looks just about ready for Fall, judging by her nude lips, ethereal makeup, and Derek Lam silk jersey and leather dress.

The 30-year-old actress explains to the magazine that she only grew to appreciate her sexuality after she had her daughter Honor.

“I was quite shy with it. It wasn’t something I embraced until I had my daughter. I saw how incredible and amazing it is to be a woman and to be able to create a life. There’s a reason why certain areas of the body are desirable — because it all leads to reproduction. There’s a science behind it all. It’s not just to sell whatever you’re selling on a billboard or a magazine or a movie”, Jessica tells Allure.

Checkot the ‘Spy Kids’ star’s fall inspired photo shoot with the magazine below:
