Rachel Weisz doesn’t look like herself on the cover of Another Magazine

Actress Rachel Weisz is naturally so gorgeous – what the heck were they thinking making her up like this? Such a strange cover!

2011 has been a good year for Rachel Weisz. Not only did she surprise everyone by marrying her “Dream House” co-star Daniel Craig in June, but she has also become quite the cover star.

The 41-year-old actress posed for WSJ. Magazine’s Fashion Issue in September, she landed the October cover of Lucky and now she appears in quite dramatic fashion on the Autumn/Winter 2011 issue of AnOther.

Shot by Craig McDean, the cover photo finds Weisz wearing a mustard coat, electric blue eye shadow and bright, matte red lips… and inexplicably, she is holding a goat.

It’s a more avant garde turn for Weisz, whose red carpet looks tend towards the simpler side of things.

Then again, she also took it all off for her Bulgari campaign, in which she embraces an oversized Jasmin Noir perfume bottle while lying on a lion. It’s hard to know what to expect from this beauty.

She’s definitely looked better – but I forgive her. She’s still gorgeous!

How-To Get The Look: Ted Gibson & Jessica Chastain‏

 

I love Jessica Chastain, just saw her in “The Debt” she did an amazing job as Rachel Singer, so beautiful! I can’t wait to catch her newest flick “Take Shelter” , she looks flawless at the NYC premiere .

Jessica Chastain’s  “Take Shelter” premiere look

Celebrity hair stylist and NYC Salon owner Ted Gibson styled Jessica all day for various appearances, including this great red carpet look in New York City. Here are Ted’s expert quotes for any how-to-get-the-look stories:

“Jessica wore Carolina Herrera and Ferragamo shoes, so I thought her hair should be pulled back to show off the Harry Winston earrings. I call this look the updated “trendy French twist.” The twist started at the top versus the usual bottom and I blew dry with my Build It blow drying spray and Fix It hair gel. I wanted to give it a lot of volume before I put it up, so I used a medium round brush and curling iron for texture and movement before creating the trendy French twist. Lastly, I pulled it all back to the center of her head, twisted and secured with bobbi pins, sprayed with Beautiful Hold hairspray to keep in place. She looked stunning!”

 

Ted Gibson Build it $19.95
