Redefining ageless style, Julianne Moore graces the July issue of British Vogue.
Inside the mag, the Far from Heaven actress shares her interesting philosophy about the evolution of self-image.
“What you see happening in a lot of children’s literature is that they become a swan, they become beautiful and it’s all changed,” she says. “But it didn’t change. I still have freckles; I still don’t like them. It just doesn’t matter as much. It’s less a transformation than a process — there’s more of you that stays the same.”
And when it comes to working out and eating right, Julianne is happy to have a laissez-faire attitude about it all. “I mean, I don’t think I look particularly fantatsic,” she says. “I know you’re not supposed to drink caffeine, and I know you’re not supposed to drink wine, but I do both. I could be much thinner if I really worked at it. But there was a time when I was exercising a lot, and then I realized that the person I was spending the most time with was my trainer. And I thought, ‘I don’t have time to see my friends!’”

Yeah, ageless as in PLASTIC. Looks like she’s had some work done around the eyes and maybe a little Botox!
give me a break. laissez-faire attitude my ass. she doesn’t eat and she does so care what she looks like or she wouldn’t have botoxed the bejeebus out of her face.
I saw her in person… maybe 6 months ago and she didn’t look botoxed in person, or least as much as looks in the cover photo. They have definitely photoshopped her freckles away, they probably did the same with her wrinkles. If you look at the black and white photos, she doesn’t look as smooth.
oops! the first sentence should read - I saw her in person… maybe 6 months ago and she didn’t look botoxed in person, or least as NOT much as looks in the cover photo.
she is gorgeous!!
These aren’t typically beautiful photos, but there is something about them I really like. I think her storybooks are a really cute idea!
She is a very beautiful woman, but please, this rubbish just goes too far. No one looks like that at 48 years old! She looks younger than me, and I’m barely 30! She (and others like her) obviously has had work done to her face, and she obviously works at her figure hard – no one is that thin naturally unless they hardly eat and/or burn up a lot of energy. Trying to pass if off as ‘natural without effort’ is insulting to peoples intelligence lol. What’s wrong in admitting that you work hard at maintaining an image? What’s wrong in admitting you’ve had cosmetic enhancements? They are in the vanity business for cripes sake!
Wouldn’t it be refreshing if, one day, when one of these kind of magazine spreads came out, the subject was honest and said… “well, I’m ‘worthy’ enough to be displayed on the cover of your pretentious and self important magazine because I’ve had £30 000 worth of cosmetic enhancements, and have been networking for years, kissing enough ass as I do so to merit your attention. Exercise? Me? No, not any more. I used to exercise about 5 hours a day to maintain my emaciation, but since I found out that I can essentially malnourish myself and eat one meal a day that consists of 3 mouthfuls of chicken and some lettuce and keep a size 0, I hardly bother anymore. I drink wine and caffeine cause it distracts me from my hunger. But it’s all worth it, as now I can validate my own pointless self torture and appear on the cover of Vogue; and delude the gullible brain-challenged that read this into thinking I’m some kind of supernatural being, whilst unwittingly perpetuating that this is some kind of aspirational ‘norm’”.
…I’d have a bit more kudos to share out if they did.
