W Magazine March 2011 : Mila Kunis by Craig McDean

[TeeVanity]

I like this~

 

[Psylocke]

This is easily their best cover since Tonchi took over. Gorgeous. I'm so glad to see Mila.

I agree, though I've actually liked every single one of the covers since Tonchi took over

At first I thought the pink bra was weird, too. But I guess it adds a bit of an edge to that otherwise very classic and simple image. Mila looks stunning as always, of course.

 

[Melly5525]

Wow great cover, Milla looks simply amazing, and the inside pics are just as good, hauntingly beautifulFirst issue Ive been excited about in awhile!

 

[MON]

Beautiful!

 

[tigerrouge]

That bra looks like something you'd get in a catalogue for older ladies, everything else is beautiful.

I'm guessing the dirty secret to healthy hair is some revelatory advice about not washing it every day. It sounds great, though.

 

[beltedmaude]

Looks good.

 

[AD011620]

wow like it... she is really hot...

 

[Omnis]

She looks great. Love the pose, also.

 

[windlagoon]

i don't like it that much. i am happy for mila to be on the cover because she is drop dead gorgeous and talented, but the styling and the photography are really bad and weak imo...they made her look like a crossing between a swan and a hooker and it's not my thing. and the white background is too simple...but there are some shots of her ed that are nice.

 

[iclawhands]

for an actress, she doesn't have a large range of facial expression, does she? still better than the last couple of covers though,

 

[Lanbim Cord]

WHY not Natalie? nice cover btw.

 

[tarsha]

That's the best cover since Tonchi became editor, I don't say I'm crazy about this but it's OK. It's photographed by Craig McDean and styled by Alex White.

 

[honeyisle]

WHY not Natalie? nice cover btw.

Why not Mila? Can't they both have their own? Natalie's time will come when she bags the oscar, has that baby and starts to promote the like five films she has coming out this year

It's refreshing to see Mila on a cover.

 

[vogue28]

I guess I should be appreciating the white background, and the lightness in general. The editorial does nothing for me, neither does Mila. But I'm optimistic about the content. I have yet to purchase the February issue, I felt it was lacking.

Venus de Mila

Lynn Hirschberg: In Black Swan, you play the wild-child devil girl. You’re both seductive and scary. Had you danced before you took the part?
Mila Kunis: I had never danced in my life. I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day. I had one day off on my birthday. I lost 20 pounds. I tore a ligament. I dislocated my shoulder. I have two scars on my back. And it was worth every minute.
But I will never dance again. I’m a strong believer in mind over matter, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant until this production. I was like, Well—I wear heels; I can do this. I was wrong: Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a pointe shoe.
You have previously been known for comedy. Do you think it’s difficult for women to be considered both beautiful and funny in Hollywood?
I was never raised to think that I was pretty. It’s not that I was raised to think I was unattractive, but it was just never something that was pointed out to me by my family. They would point out personality traits—“Our daughter is really quirky”—versus what I look like, because inevitably, looks go, so it makes no difference.
Your family is Ukrainian. How old were you when you moved to America?
I was seven and a half when we moved to the States. We came straight to Los Angeles.
What was the first thing you remember seeing of America?
A black man. It was at the American embassy [in Moscow], and all I had known were Caucasian people with blond hair, brunette hair, and sometimes red hair. You’re never really taught about anything else. I think I was frightened. And the beautiful thing was, the man spoke Russian. He explained to me that there are people in this world who are of different color. Being seven and a half, I asked him, “Does that mean there are purple people in this world?”
Shortly after arriving in L.A., you began acting. Did you always long to be an actress?
No. I started acting when I was nine as a hobby because it was fun, and it allowed me to get out of school. The first thing I did was a Barbie commercial, and I got to keep the Barbie. That’s all a kid wants.
From nine to 14, I did close to 15 commercials, and I guest starred on just about every television show. I was on Baywatch twice. The second time, I played a blind girl who’s lost in the forest next to the beach and needs to be saved. It was absurd: There’s a fire, I get saved, and then I go boogie-boarding. I remember thinking, Well, if I’m blind, how am I boogie-boarding? No one ever gave me an answer.

Was there a moment when you decided to be more discerning and selective in your roles?
I didn’t really think of acting as a career. I’m the first person in my family to not be a college graduate. I always associate careers with college diplomas. When I was 22, my contract with That ’70s Show ended, and I had to make a conscious decision about what I wanted to do with my life. During the show, I had attempted to go to college, but I realized that the traffic in L.A. made it too difficult for me to go to school at 6 a.m. and be back at work at 10 a.m. I asked my parents if it was okay if I dropped out. They said okay, you can defer until after your contract with That ’70s Show ends.
And then it ended. I realized for the first time that I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. So I had to make acting a career—to make smart choices instead of choices made for fun.
When you watch your performance in Black Swan, do you find it strange—as if it was another life, another person?
Before I started, I couldn’t even lift my arm properly. I literally had no posture, so, yeah, the first time I saw the movie, my jaw dropped. I was like, Oh, my God—I don’t suck. And it’s great that the performance has been captured on film, because I will never put on those pointe shoes again.

Big fan of Mila and glad she got the cover, but it's a strange cover....facially she looks great, but that bra is very off-putting IMO. They could have chosen a better one.....takes all the sex out of sexy.

 

[Bertrando3]

It looks like a Vogue India cover. Anyways I love it! Glad they got rid of the awful grey background.

I know right?! I wished they picked the other image from the preview because we're loosing the light on the cover but yet I'm not impressed by W's vibe or covers for that matter since Tonchi took over

 

[honeyisle]

I like the juxtaposition of the pink girly bra with the vampy transparent black peignoir.

 

[lawaldorf]

I agree, though I've actually liked every single one of the covers since Tonchi took over

Same. They're exciting and out-of-the-box. Even if I don't agree with the choice, his decisions are always entertaining.

 

[ALAUU]

Looks good, better than the last few covers.
