Androgynous Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton takes her unique and eccentric beauty to the cover of the May issue of W magazine.
The 52-year-old ageless beauty talks unconventional beauty with the magazine.
“Being beautiful was never really something I associated with people I knew —certainly not girls. Boys, maybe. Horses, yes, and certainly my great-grandmother Elsie Swinton, whose imperial grandeur was like a watermark”, Tilda tells W.
For her dramatic and high-fashion editorial, styled by Jacob K and photographed by noted Tim Walker, the ‘Only Lovers Left Alive‘ star dons avant-garde designs from Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, Vera Wang, Maison Martin Margiela, Azzedine Alaia, Balmain, Acne, Prada, Celine, Armani, Rochas, Max Mara, Mary Katrantzou, Francesco Scognamiglio, Haider Ackermann, Ann Demeulemeester and Givenchy.

The hunky young men of the upcoming big screen adaptation of ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ — also starring Emma Watson — Ezra Miller, Logan Lerman and Johnny Simmons take to the cover of the September issue of Out magazine.
Long-haired 19-year-old actor Ezra — renowned for his spellbinding performance as Tilda Swinton‘s sociopath son in the 2011′s ‘We Need To Talk About Kevin‘ — comes out as gay in the magazine.
“[Growing up] I went from having a stutter to being a totally gay little opera singer to being, like, a really confused queer adolescent. Getting socially outcast can be the best and most informative thing that can ever happen to you because you have to learn who you are separate from the pack… I’m queer. I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular. I’ve been trying to figure out relationships, you know? I don’t know if it’s responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don’t think we’re ready for them.”, Ezra shares with Out.
For their shoot below, snapped by Kai Z Feng, the boys get styled in strictly Prada.

The 65th annual British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) — the British equivalent of the Oscars — took place tonight (12 February) at the Royal Opera House in the UK. ‘Beginners‘ actor Christopher Plummer, ‘The Help‘ actress Octavia Spencer as well as silent film ‘The Artist‘ continued on their winning streak this award season, in their respective categories. Jean Dujardin once again upset George Clooney by clinching ‘Best Actor’, with Meryl Streep denying Viola Davis a ‘Best Actress’ win.
Head below to checkout all the red carpet action, where black was clearly the colour of the night.
BEST-DRESSED: ‘My Week With Marilyn‘ actress Michelle Williams kept it simple and elegant in a strapless H&M Bespoke ivory and black gown.

Viola Davis went for a splash of colour in Valentino.

The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held last night (29 January) at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles. While ‘The Help‘ was the big winner of the night, it was French actor Jean Dujardin who stole the show, snatching ‘Best Actor’ right under Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney‘s nose and for the first time, this award season, creating a competitive Oscar race in the category. Clooney’s good friend Viola Davis took home ‘Best Actress’, and having won under the same category a few week ago at the Critics Choice Awards, the 46-year-old becomes the clear front-runner for the Oscar race in the category. Davis’ biggest threat comes from two of The Weinstein Company’s lovely ladies, Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams, who both won a Golden Globe two weeks ago for ‘Best Actress Drama’ and ‘Best Actress Comedy/Musical’, respectively.
Head below for all the red carpet action, where no one really stunned. They all played it safe.

The crème de la crème of Tinseltown came out in huge numbers last night (15 January), in celebration of the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. The Oscar race for ‘Best Actress’ got interesting and more intense on the night, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) awarding Michelle Williams ‘Best Actress Musical/Comedy’ and Meryl Streep ‘Best Actress Drama’. The two lovely ladies were of course bested by ‘The Help‘ star Viola Davis at the Critics Choice Awards a few days ago. However, if there is one thing the HFPA and Broadcast Film Critics Association agree on is that George Clooney, Octavia Spencer and ‘The Artist‘ should win ‘Best Actor’, ‘Best Supporting Actress’ and ‘Best Picture’ respectively.

As it was expected ‘The Descendants‘ actor George Clooney scoped ‘Best Actor’. Michel Hazanavicius’s ‘The Artist’ took ‘Best Picture’, winning him ‘Best Director’ in the process.
