Funny Look at Harper's Bazaar Photo Shoot

Lainey friggin' rocks. Here are her thoughts on the Harper's Bazaar Photo Shoot... I love it...

As for what I think of the HB shoot…

You know I am all over Kristen Stewart. She’s a bitch and she’s figuring it out and she’s thoughtful and she’s trying and she’ s an individual. She knows what she likes, she doesn’t want to look like anyone else, and she’s totally confident that in not looking like anyone else, it means she looks good. She looked good in Allure – really, really good – and she looked f-cking crazy good in Interview.

[Mandy's Note - hell yea she is a bitch and not in a bad way - she owns it she is coming to realize it too - and it's this sassy, bad-ass, awesomeness... ]

Harper’s Bazaar?

Well…

The face is there. It always is. And it’s unquestionably, compellingly beautiful.

But the styling is for sh-t. The antithesis of esoteric. The styling is Prom Night meets the Pageant. Because that’s the HB readership. They’re old. There’s no sassy edge. And they did her a great disservice.

That Alexander McQueen bubble gown is not Kristen Stewart. Maybe Charlize Theron. On Kristen Stewart, who is actually quite short, it drowns out some of her best features. Too heavy around the shoulders, too long covering her legs. And the black slinky number against the pillar was made for Sharon Stone. They wanted to make her look more mature, instead they made her look 12.

Don’t mind the shredded leather skirt but the shoes are a cop out and while I’m down with what they’ve put her in on the motorcycle I wish he would get out of the way so we could see more of how it drapes across the chest. It’s a fashion magazine after all.

Also, the image they’ve used on the cover is an engagement photo from Sears. The kind of couple that would run a cash bar wedding.

[Mandy's Note - I seriously laughed OUT LOUD at this... too funny... I thought at first those shots were manips... they are so awkward... though they are great for making manips of xmas cards and wedding invitation as seen on most fansites now ;) funny]

As photo shoots go, Pattinson’s solo Vanity Fair was far superior. For high fashion and tone, I’d love to see what Joe Zee would do with her. Because this effort was totally uninspired. Kristen Stewart has funky mad steeze. And they turned her into a Mall Girl. Blasphemy.

Here’s a much better iteration of Stewart in Mexico with Taylor Lautner on New Moon promotion earlier this week. See? Personal style. You can’t teach this. What you can do is mute it with bland water and cheese. Enter Twilight and Harper’s Bazaar.

And here comes the hate.

Lainey makes me laugh... it's true... though I don't complain, bring on the photo spam, even bad photos are photos... but Vanity Fair's shoot last year was the better shoot.... and for solo's shoots, ROb's Vanity Fair and Kstew's Interview and Allure were better shoots... DEFFO
