Yay or Nay? Annie Leibovitz over airbrushes another US Vogue Cover
2:42pm 9th October, 2009 - By Helen LeePosted in Celebrities, Media

When names like Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson are dropped, you immediately think of their stunning beauty. But when you look at the four women on the cover of US Vogue’s November 2009 issue, you wonder what happened! Especially to Kidman who is sporting very plump red lips.
Did Annie Leibovitz or Vogue go a little airbrush crazy?
The four women are on the promotional trail for their upcoming movie, Nine which stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the famous film director Guido Contini.
Kidman was photographed back in February according to paparazzi shots on Just Jared, but the other three women don’t seem to be present which could explain the strange lighting on each woman’s face. Check out a picture of the full female cast of Nine in a spread from the November 2009 issue of Vogue below.

All four of them look beautiful- not quite “feeling” the scene, meaning they look like they look like they were photoshopped on there), but when they’re all jam-packed onto the cover like that it looks like they’re all trying to hard…except for Penelope Cruz. But again, my personal taste, I don’t like more an even number on a cover. I’m conservative when it comes to the basic elements of design.

Nay. Looks rather unsettling. Are they actually together? What is that smudge in the background? A mountain? Looks squiffy to me.
And, another thing, what is Fergie doing amongst five great actresses?

[...] Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson go so terribly wrong? The consensus around the web is that the controversial November 2009 Vogue cover probably went through a lot of post-production work, as Annie Leibovitz is known [...]
