What a pose!
What happened with her left leg?

 

[Flashbang]

^Oh no you didn't

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Even worse. It's absolutely hideous.

That make-up really doesn't compliment her face. It looks long and expressionless.
Still rooting for the couch, though, give to us, baby!

Jared Leto /or herself from Requiem for a dream...
But i think the main problem is with her 'broken' poses.

I hate that new shot!

 

[Northern Star]

Oh that's the worst one by a country mile.......even her face looks weird on this and the daft poses continue.......

 

[Thanatos]

God, her face is truly awful in that last shot, she looks like a ***EDIT***

 

[Thefrenchy]

I think she looks stunning, I really don't get the hate on this campaign

 

[adorefaith]

i agree, i don't understand the hate either. i love this campaign, i think it's stunning and jennifer does an incredible job. i hated the first campaign she did but this one is excellent imo.

For me the problem with that last shot is strictly with hair and makeup. The hair looks god awful. Dried, fried and flat is never a good look. The makeup...well I just don't think smokey eyes are a great look on Jennifer, at least not how they're done here.

I do like the pose though, and I think with different (read - better) hair and makeup her expression would look much more striking than it does right now.

I actually really love the pose in that last shot. It's very dynamic and angular in a sort of 80's way, almost as if her body is a series of laser beams... Which I think juxtaposes well with the 80's lushness of the dress and tights.

I don't know, I almost wish they mixed the styling up a bit though. It seems they're focusing on selling the prints but I actually preferred the drapey separates and structured black dresses.

i love this campaign, but this last shot reminds me of pulling limbs off a barbie doll -- a beautiful balenciaga-clad barbie -- but a barbie no less.

the new shot scanned is another stunning one!!! i think it's a good decision not to include other celebrities 'cause for me, Jennifer already did a great job here. she doesn't need to be accompanied by other celebrities.

I love this campaign! One of the reasons for that is Jennisfer's lifeless expressions, there's something cool about it.

I guess it's because the collection was so stunning and it put high expectations for the campaign. personally i'm not against this, but I agree that the clothes require different setting and definitely different poses(standing, most of the time) than the ones in the campaign.

I really think the makeup alone has destroyed the entire campaign. For I love Jennifer so!

 

[BerlinRocks]

any info on who style the campain ?
is that M.A. Sauvé ?

My problem remains Jennifer ...
And I don't particulary love the collection ...
But the atmosphere is good ...

I really don't like her face ...
She looks unnaturaly bon-ish and angular ...
