US Vanity Fair September 2008 : Carla Bruni by Annie Leibovitz

I like that Tilda Swinton made the women's list for Best-Dressed, but surely Beckham does not belong.

When is Carla's interview with Barbara Walters airing?
 
Oh yes, when is the Barbara Walters interview, I have to make sure to watch it.
 
Boring cover, she looks like sat in the couch taking a break after ride and thats the cover!. I liked the red dress pic. Now that would have been a nice cover :)

Thanks for the pics.

Middleton, best-dressed? :lol: Did the RF have to give up the crown jewels to get her that spot or what?

I should like the cover more but her face...on the cover and in that close-up head shot looks very very weird. She looked more beautiful when in regular ol' media shots when she toured the UK with her husband. Damn photoshop.
 
I don't think the cover is that bad but Carla Bruni's face looks very strange. She looks a lot better in the shots inside the magazine.
 
How are Cate Blanchett and Katie Holmes NOT on the Best Dressed list?
 
Why is Georgina Chapman the only one in the ed? What happened to the other half of Marchesa?
 
boooooooring
but carine's on the best dressed list,so at least some justice at last
 
I wonder who appears in the Supermodels part... considering what VF writes about original supermodels it could be "Carla entered the world of modeling just behind the first wave of supermodels—Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista. The phenomenon continued to explode with Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, and Claudia Schiffer. At her height in the 90s, Carla Bruni was in the top tier of supermodels"
 
^ The Supermodels section is Linda, Naomi, Claudia, Stephanie, Christy and Cindy.

The best part of this issue is the Paul Newman article, he's probably the only legitimately interesting person profiled - sorry Carla - and what an amazing person he is.

TABLE OF CONTENTS SEPTEMBER 2008

Features


338 PARIS MATCH
Carla Bruni, the enchanting new wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, raised eyebrows with her hit CD, sexy Internet photos, and past conquests (Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton). Not only has the Italian ex-model won over her adoptive country, but she may even help her embattled husband. Getting to know an unusually candid First Lady, Maureen Orth assesses l’effet Carla. Photographs by Annie Leibovitz. Web special: A slide show of Carla on the catwalk.

348 THE KING OF CENTRAL PARK WEST
With sales of its 201 luxury apartments at roughly $2 billion, 15 Central Park West is the world’s most lucrative residential building. Roaming through architect Robert A. M. Stern’s answer to the Manhattan glass-tower trend, Paul Goldberger pinpoints what has lured Wall Street mandarins and Hollywood stars to its English-oak-paneled lobby. Photographs by Todd Eberle.

354 A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
Naomi, Cindy, Linda, Claudia, Stephanie, Christy: the original supermodels needed no last names, just one another, to conquer the fashion scene. Fifteen years later, and as glamorous as ever—the proof: Mario Testino’s portfolio—they recap their power-posse days for Bob Colacello.

360 TRULY, MADLY, NICKY
With his smashing looks and catlike grace, Nicky Haslam practically invented Swinging 60s London, then swept through New York and Hollywood. Thriving as an interior designer, his memoir on the way, the ultimate man-about-town—chum of Andy Warhol, the Duchess of Windsor,and Mick Jagger—takes Evgenia Peretz on a dizzying, occasionally wistful tour of his not-quite-charmed existence. Portraits by Jonathan Becker.

366 FOUR FACES OF LONDON
David Bailey and Nicholas Coleridge spotlight four faces—Veruschka, Penelope Tree, Twiggy, and Kate Moss—that chart the evolution of London cool.

368 AN IMMOVABLE FEAST
Charles Masson thought his wife, Giselle, was crazy when she signed a lease for 3 East 52nd Street in 1962. But their restaurant, La Grenouille, is now a beloved New York institution. Run today by their son Charles, it owes its longevityto food, flowers, and fiercely high standards. Douglas McGrath has the saga, from Masson Sr.’s army-mess-hall epiphany to a showdown with Robert Kennedy, to post-9/11 Francophobia. Photographs by Jonathan Becker.

372 LESS IS MAIER
Bottega Veneta doesn’t flash logos. Neither does German designer Tomas Maier, who rescued the Italian luxury-goods company from the brink of ruin in 2001, creating a new style juggernaut. In Milan and Palm Beach, Matt Tyrnauer learns how Maier imposed his discreet elegance on the age of bling. Photographs by Todd Eberle.

376 THE NEWMAN CHRONICLES
Paul Newman’s on-screen magnetism (and blue, blue eyes) has brought him worldwide adulation. Instead of buying into his own legend, he created new ones: director, businessman, philanthropist, and devoted family man. Amid concerns about the 83-year-old Newman’s health, Patricia Bosworth examines the turning points in a remarkably private life. Web special: A slide show of Newman’s life.

254 ON THE LIMITS OF SELF-IMPROVEMENT, PART III
Against all odds, Christopher Hitchens’s extreme makeover (teeth whitening, smoking cessation, Brazilian waxing, etc.) has actually improved him. But even as he braves both a Fekkai haircut and a $14,000 exercise machine for his final report, the columnist confronts his mortality in the mirror. Photographs by Art Streiber.

260 ANIMAL HOUSE
Prince Louis Albert de Broglie revived a zoological treasure trove when he bought Deyrolle, Paris’s fabled taxidermyestablishment, in 2001—only to see it ravaged by fire. Thanks to Hermès, the French Army, and others, Deyrolle is rising from the ashes, as Olga of Greece reports.

266 DAY OF THE CROCODILE

Reporting from a country closed to Western journalists, Peter Godwin sheds light on the man behind the mayhem.Photographs by Jeffrey Barbee.

278 AMERICAN DYNAMITE
Seen as the “crime of the century,” the deadly bombing of the Los Angeles Times in 1910 presented an irresistible challenge to America’s greatest detective.

Griffith and uncovered a nationwide anti-capitalist plot.

I abhor the way they Victoria Secret-ised the supers. They are so above such trash.
And only two pictures? Utterly disappointing.
An di love Paul aswell, the only decent star ever.
Oh don't be so harsh, the Hollywood star system produced a couple of class acts. ^_^
And yeah, I agree, Paul is much much more interesting than Carla. For a start, he can talk about something else beside himself, something Carla is still struggling to do, at 40.
