US Vogue September 2024 : Blake Lively & Hugh Jackman by Baz Luhrmann

[Gary89]

Guess we are in another cycle of trying to make Blake Lively a big movie star with Vogues covers, cameos in her husband's movies and him saying they couldn't afford her fee. All this when her last leading movie lost 44 million at the box office.

They really keep throwing her at the wall until one narrative sticks despite all the propping up and opportunities that she has got.

Don't forget her new haircare line.

Blake's hair is the best thing about her, but it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone wants Blake's hair.

Oh wait, ew, this is the September issue?! 🥴

Indeed. Missed opportunity to at least get Annie on board, though she can be hit-or-miss these days. Annie did a Hitchcock shoot for Vanity Fair, years ago. This photo with Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem shows the potential. It’s a more literal take, but more compelling than what Baz has done here.

I love it! It reminds me of that September mock cover from The Cover Challenge with Indya Moore four years ago.

Haha now why was I convinced Annie did that shoot?

I still prefer the Scarlett/Javier photo to the Gwyneth/RDJ one, though. Better film inspiration, better actors, better photo.

I don't hate the solo cover, but I'll never understand Anna's obsession with Blake Lively.
She's like Jennifer Anniston, without Friends.

 

[Alquimista]

Hugh looks gorgeous.

The covers are the usual lame Anna aesthetics.

Ok, the second cover suggest a narrative which I like and it's the best.

Why did I think it was another special digital issue at first
I'm not mad at Blake, it's fine but the bar is so tragically low nowadays

 

[oaklee91]

Noooo no no no

 

[Alquimista]

My god, the suite photo could have been a much better cover.

Anna is a dumb@ss.

jesus christ, just hire meisel..

 

[ReneSanchez]

Only 3 pages in this conversation?

 

[blueorchid]

jesus christ, just hire meisel..

Why? To get the same sh*tty editorial at a higher cost?

There are so many poor choices going on here and I don't understand ANY of them.

 

[avonlea002]

jesus christ, just hire meisel..

To do what? Another poorly retouched lazy imitation of Irving Penn/Avedon?

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Hmmm, That’s… different.

 

[fauxfashion]

I like it, especially the first one, Blake looks gorgeous 💖

 

[MModa]

Both of the covers are stunning. I love all the glamour, elegance, and the hair! The cover photographs take me back in time, especially, the pages of American Vogue in the 1960's. I particularly love the profile shot of Lively the most. It will be a hard choice to choose from if both covers appear on the newsstand.

 

[rowjellies]

I really don't get the Blake-Hugh-Baz link up? It's so random.

It almost feels like it was supposed to be Nicole Kidman but she bailed out on the last minute so they had to book someone else.

TLDR

Hugh is friends with Baz (Hugh starred in Baz' movie Australia)

Baz is friends with Anna and Vogue

Hugh is promoting Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds

Blake is also in Deadpool and promoting the Colleen Hoover book-turned-movie It Ends With Us

Blake is also promoting her new haircare line at Target

I like the editorial! it’s photoshopped to hell and back but so is every single editorial on a fashion magazine from i-D to Marie Claire.
all of the pictures are great and both photographed well.

I’m curious to see the rest of the content.
