Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman on the cover of Vogue: a cinematic adventure in the style of Hitchcock

Actress and entrepreneur Blake Lively along with actor Hugh Jackman became the faces of the September issue of Vogue 2024. This cinematic shoot by the famous director Baz Luhrmann immerses us in a world of luxury and intrigue, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's classic film To Catch a Thief.

A glamorous thief in the style of Hitchcock

In this photo session, 36-year-old Blake Lively transformed into a glamorous jewel thief, which directly refers to the image of Grace Kelly from the classic film of 1955. Fans immediately recognized the parallels: a golden-haired beauty, many diamonds and the luxurious surroundings of Monte Carlo.

Sophistication and surprises

Lively is featured as Kelly on the beach in Monte Carlo in a retro swimsuit by Jacquemus and a gorgeous dress by LaQuan Smith at a table at Casino Monte Carlo. But the shooting offers not only traditional images. In some shots, Lively appears in unexpected roles, turning the usual scenario upside down. Particularly impressive is the shot where she is depicted in the moonlight in a suit by Balenciaga, and in the last shot she is shown in handcuffs, caught at the scene of the crime.

Luxurious details

The casino episode where Lively wears a dazzling necklace with eight oval-cut Burmese rubies that once belonged to the legendary Elizabeth Taylor was particularly notable. The actress said that the filming was thought out to the smallest detail: there was a foam mat under her in case the jewelry fell.

Comments from the stars

"When you're offered the opportunity to be part of a shoot for Vogue, you don't think twice, you say 'yes!'. Especially for their September issue. Working alongside my friend, the incredibly creative, smart and talented Blake, and seeing the vision come to life in a full-scale cinematic experience from Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, is a truly iconic moment, " Hugh Jackman shared his impressions on Instagram.

This shooting became a real cinematic experience, where every frame is filled with beauty, luxury and intrigue. The September issue of Vogue is expected to be one of the most popular this year, as its cover is graced by two legends of modern cinema.
