Jessica Biel Does ‘Allure’ Magazine
Jessica Biel is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Allure magazine but while her coverstory interview has yet to make its way to the Internets, we can get our first look at her coverphoto and a few behind the scenes photos from her shoot:
For her cover shoot with Michael Thompson in Long Beach, California, actress Jessica Biel wasn’t even slightly fazed by posing on a four-story platform in an electrical plant. What actually fazes her? Being typecast by directors and followed by paparazzi. See the exclusive outtakes from the shoot here, and for more photos and the profile “Body of Work,” pick up the June issue of Allure, on newsstands May 26. Biel showed up dressed head-to-toe in William Rast—boyfriend Justin Timberlake’s clothing line—including a pair of fringed angle boots. “These are the exact ones they had at the show in New York,” she said. “They sent me a pair the models wore, because they hadn’t been produced yet, but I loved them so much.” Here, the actress wears a jumpsuit by Derek Lam with earrings, belt, and a bracelet by Louis Vuitton; brass and Lucite bangles by Alexis Bittar; and a glass bangle by Hilary London. When Biel studied the racks of clothes at the shoot, she zeroed in on a jacket by Louis Vuitton. “I’m wearing a new Eres bra that would look great under this,” she told Allure creative director Paul Cavaco … “I wanted to create a rich, sun-kissed face for Jessica,” said makeup artist Stéphane Marais. To that end, he rubbed bronzer on her temples, nose, and chin and peach blush on her cheeks; rimmed her eyes with brown liner; and added shimmery taupe and gold shadows. The final touch: sheer coral lipstick. Hairstylist Serge Normant’s aim was a “natural, wavy look that’s very soft and sexy.” He used volumizer and smoothing serum on Biel’s wet hair, parted it down the middle, and blew it dry. He curled random sections and then “let the wind do the rest.” Since meeting Timberlake two years ago, Biel’s private life has become very public. “It’s wonderful to do what I do, but everything that goes with it? It’s bizarre,” says the actress. “The invasion of privacy is very tough. I am followed all day, every day. Going to the dentist, the cleaners. I guess I could look like shit going to the dentist, but only if I didn’t care what I saw in the papers.” In an effort to keep Hollywood focused on her acting ability, Biel made sure that some of her early film contracts had a no-nudity clause—which meant that she got to choose a body double for love scenes. “I tried to get breasts that I thought were similar to mine,” she says. “But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? OK, I did want that.” According to Biel, getting the chance to prove herself has been her biggest challenge. Her résumé is that of an action star, but she yearns to play more romantic roles, and covets the ones that end up going to Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman. “I just want an opportunity,” she says. “If you don’t like the audition, then don’t hire me! But if you don’t want to even see me—that’s hurtful…. I’m a very 360-degree person.”
Well, since Jessica’s most recent film Power Blue deffo features nudity, I guess she’s moved on from that “early no-nudity” clause in her contract. Meh. It was bound to happen eventually … at least she looked good all nekkid and stuff. But, Jessica’s Allure photoshoot features clothing — after the jump, check out a few behind-the-scenes pics from the shoot …
HMM … very dramatic. I like Jessica but mainly cuz she’s got that sweet, girl next door look about her (see the Allure coverphoto above). I don’t really buy her as an overstyled glamazon (see the behind the scenes photos). I’m curious to see what the final pics look like. What do y’all think … do we like?

The behind the scenes pics look very drag queenie to me..Not a good look..IMO, she looks best with a natural look..

I totally agree Kendra.. ugh.. she looks terrible in the other pics….
May 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Agreed. She’s a natural beauty and all that extra doesn’t do her justice at all.

I feel bad for her because people have taken parts of her quotes, and added their own filler into what she said. She said something about “yeah, it makes it hard to get the parts that I want”, and different sites have added their own interpretation of what “it” she is talking about (some have said “beauty” or “hotness”). I find it really immoral to insert words into someone’s mouth, AND not disclose that it isn’t a quote from her.
I have respect for Trent because he doesn’t do that kind of thing.

I do not like her anymore, I mean yea your famous but your fans are what made you famous and you diss them like nothing. I mean you can’t even take a picture with her without that stupid pouty face she makes like she rather have a tooth pulled then take pictures with fans

Love the cover photo. But I agree with everyone that the others don’t really suit her. And I’m sorry, but it annoys me to no end everytime some celebrity starts whining about having paparazzi follow them around. I would love to see how half of them would take it if suddenly nobody cared about them anymore and they weren’t getting paid millions per movie.

Jessica Biel is not a natural beauty. I mean, her nose job is horrendous! I can’t stand her or her penis nose boyfriend. GAG.

Jessica is so glamorous – natural or in this pic.
May 20th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
theres something about her that ive NEVER liked. ive hated her since 7th heaven lol
May 20th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Krissy, that is exactly why I frequent this site.
May 20th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
she’s pretty and all, but really not talented…the fact that she mentions her looks and not lack of talent as the reason Natalie Portman gets more roles is really pathetic. Natalie gave better performances at 12 that Jessica has in her entire career
May 20th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Didn’t the whole nudity clause get thrown out the window when she did underage semi nude photos that got her kicked off 7th Heaven?
May 20th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
LOL!! I read that article and was like, “RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT cause Scarlet Johanson, Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, Evan Rachel Wood, Kate Bosworth, Freida Pinto (etc!) are SOOOOOOO ugly. Something tells me Jessica, it’s JUST YOU.” (Okay, so she annoys the daylights outta me.)

Ohh quite sad how this looks A LOT like the photoshoot & cover Britney did for Allure a few years back. Around 04 or 05. Ohh poor girl.
May 20th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; she looks like Steven Cojocaru.. and that is not a good thing. She is not pretty.. She’s very plain; she looks good photoshopped but she’s pretty butch.. She falls in the same beauty category as Hilary Swank.. Dog biscuits.

@JJ I totally have to agree with what you said!!
May 21st, 2009 at 8:31 am
She cannot act. Period. That’s why she gets cast in roles where she just has to run around and look pretty. I think she had all of five lines in that movie she did with Ed Norton. Natalie Portman is one of the most talented actresses in the business. There is really no comparision

I wonder how this new movie Powder Blue will work out. Movies like Striptease and Showgirls are not great films with stellar acting. If she doesn’t want to be typecast, maybe she should stop taking roles that rely solely on her looks. If you want to show the world you can act maybe act….and stop taking off your clothes.

@Grace — unfortch for Jessica Biel, I think the film is going straight to DVD.
May 21st, 2009 at 11:49 am
It looks like a straight to DVD movie. The premise of the film sounds like Striptease part 2.
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:26 am
I really can’t stand her. She can’t act adn she’s only become ‘famous’ for being JT’s girlfriend and I don’t think she’s pretty either, her lips are so weird.
