Valentino 'Born In Roma' Fragrance 2019 : Adut Akech & Anwar Hadid by Inez & Vinoodh

It's a flanker to Valentino Donna with an Uomo version on the way as well, hence the Hadid inclusion in this ad, I suppose.

Anwar looks like he actually doesn't want to be there... mind you, Adut doesn't exactly look over the moon either... can they be more disconnected... what a weird photo...

It should be called UNHAPPY not Born in Roma... or Born & About to Die in Roma :-D

That's a face that says: "They're paying me a lot for this advert, but that also comes with the knowledge it must kill them to be forced to hire me for diversity purposes when they'd rather throw money at mediocre faces who uphold their picture of how the world should look."

Anwar was certainly not needed in this photo, Adut is drop dead gorgeous I can't stop looking at her

 

[Lola701]

They did Adut so wrong here! She deserved better...
I’m more happy of her getting the job than the actual result.

Anwar looks like a slump of nothing.

They both look disconnected, but at least Adut's pose is working. Anwar is just slumping over her in the typical way a man-child would do with his gf. At least I like the composition and setting.

I was completely disgusted with 1/2 of this picture so I fixed it for everybody. It's a night and day difference if you ask me.

My God, SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT HIM!! Makes we wonder whether they were even together at the shoot, because this is one of Adut's trademark poses.

 

[MDNA]

Anwar ruined the whole thing, more like Born to Die.

 

[Perickles]

He shouldn't be there. He looks awkward and not so good. Besides we have enough with his ugly sisters.

Who in the actual HELL cast this Anwar person? "Born in Roma" had better smell incredible and generate interest that way, because this campaign sure isn't going to help move product. Absolutely not.

 

[whippie]

He looks like the stereotypical Eastern European baddie from the movies here.

Adut has more chemistry with that statue than with that Anwar Hadud guy.

Adut doesn't even look cute
