Opinions Fly About Julianne Moore Photos

The May edition of Paris Vogue features some very, very interesting images of actress Julianne Moore, shot by Mario Testino. Oh, the fashion blogs have been buzzing with opinions. Some people loved it. Others...more on that later.
    Moore has graced the covers of dozens of magazines--there is something about her alabaster skin, red hair, and ability to freeze a glacial expression that photographers and editors love. Her cool elevates what would be a fashion picture into something kinda artistic. (Helmut Newton could do it with just about any woman, but he really could do it with Sigourney Weaver.)
    Some bloggers really resented the crotch-on-the-cover thing. Lewd? With Moore's presence, I think the crotch was unnecessary. The inside shot of her in a sheer top is neither lewd nor unnecessary--it's brilliant.
    Several of the blogs I read seemed most upset with the fact that Moore is posing for shots like this at age 47. That's ridiculous. Sexy is sexy, and sometimes 47 is sexiest. 
    The important thing here is to note that this is Paris Vogue, and it fits perfectly into the culture and tradition of that magazine. Your opinion?
    Age aside, Moore looks a lot better than Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of the May American Vogue. She's been Photoshopped into something unrecognizable.--David Schonauer

She looks like she just sat down in a wet chair and wishes she could escape but can't because of the stiletto lodged in her thigh.

Awesome photos. Julianne looks simply stunning. Age appropriate? Who's to judge?

I'd knock the dust off of that crotch!!

[lollie]

if you see only a "crotch shot" when looking at this cover, perhaps vogue is really not your ideal 'zine. it provides a lovely pop of leopard, creating flow with the otfit & the fact everything is subtle & nothing is overt, i think this is a stunning shot.

I only hope to look like that at that age.
I happen to ageee with you on the Paltrow pic--she looks, errr. odd. Julian Moore is smokin'. Oh Americans just get so hotty totty about silly things!
