Eva is absolutly gorgeous with a body to die for. I'm actually tempted to buy this (second Tatler issue in a row).
The cover reminds me of Kate Winslet's December 2008 Vanity Fair cover. But for some reason I like this better. Thanks for posting tigerrouge!

And a little bit from the interview (same source

Nude portrait of Bond girl Eva Green who's 'not confident' with her body

Bond girl Eva Green insists she’s ‘not confident’ about her body – but you might beg to differ, given her latest sultry photoshoot.

The 29-year-old seemed to show no inhibitions when she posed naked for the latest edition of style bible Tatler, recreating a classic Seventies portrait of British actress Charlotte Rampling.

Sitting on a polished antique table in front of an ornately gilded mirror, the Casino Royale star has only a glass of wine for company as she mimics erotic photographer Helmut Newton’s 1973 memorable image.

One thing has changed through the decades, though – the pack of cigarettes behind Ms Rampling’s derriere has vanished, a nod to the fact smoking is no longer promoted as sexy.

Despite her protestations, this is not the first time Paris-born Ms Green has been naked in the line of duty. Before starring as Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig’s 007, she took a lead role in The Dreamers, a film by Last Tango In Paris director Bernardo Bertolucci that featured several explicit bedroom scenes.

Even though the role was her big-screen debut, Ms Green’s father and twin sister Joy refused to watch it. The actress said: ‘They’re not in the business. They get confused.’ And she admitted: ‘I felt a bit ill when I saw it. I’m not confident with my body.’

But she seems to have conquered her coyness for Tatler. Another image shows her wearing only a mink coat – again echoing a familiar theme from the work of German-born Newton, who died in 2004.

His 1973 photograph of Ms Rampling for Vogue magazine – taken at the Hotel Nord Pinus II in Arles, near Marseilles, and titled The Sexiest Woman In The World – firmly sealed her reputation as a sex symbol. Ms Green thinks she is unlikely to earn the same plaudits.

‘I opened a magazine the other day and they called me the worst-dressed person in the world,’ she said. ‘And I was like, “I like that dress.”’ Well, at least no one can criticise what she’s wearing in this latest picture...

The full interview is in December’s issue of Tatler, out on Thursday.

This looks great and I love Eva. Tatler has really stepped up its game (well, at least in terms of the covers and feature stories, although the majority of the content remains woefully the same).

Though, on a side note, is anyone just a little sick of magazines paying homage to/re-hashing classic pictures of the past instead of trying to create lasting, classic images themselves?

I think it's because they shot her at an angle. Kate was shot straight up and it made her look short and distorted.
