Some of Hollywood’s leading actresses have graced the cover of Vogue Paris for the May issue.  They are some of the best actresses working right now, Penelope Cruz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet and Julianne Moore.  These ladies prove that talent and beauty are an unbeatable combination.  The black-and-white photography gives the cover a classic and nostalgic feel, while the Gap attire says they are all confident and modern women.  Make no mistake, this is not Old Hollywood, these ladies are powerhouses in both their craft and in their own right. 

Sarah Jessica Parker has it all right now; new twin girls, a movie sequel and a new position as president and chief creative officer at Halston.  She landed the cover of Vogue’s May issue, and success looks good on her.  Life is definitely good for the actress turned designer.  Of her designing ways, the actress explains that Halston made her an offer she could not refuse.  Before accepting the offer, she gave them several opportunities to walk away, and reminded them they were taking “a very untraditional route”.   Apparently they were undeterred because Parker is essentially the new face of the label.  We know that Carrie Bradshaw is the epitome of style, and SJP has morphed into a style icon in her own right.  What remains to be seen is how this unbeatable combination will translate into her new Halston Heritage line. We eagerly await the debut of the spring 2011 collection; and many of us are rooting for her to succeed.

Fergie is on the cover of Elle’s May issue in a beautifully draped mint green Burberry Prorsum dress.  The singer looks soft and pretty, it could be a combination of the gentle waves in her hair and the classic make-up accompanied by nude lips.  Either way, it’s a great spring cover.  In the article she talks about gossip, dieting and high school.  Take a look at the behind the scenes video and see the gorgeous looks she wore for her shoot.

Demi Moore is a timeless beauty that continues to grace magazine covers at the age of 47.  She is the cover girl for British Elle for the month of May, and she is a stunner.  What is it about Mrs. Kutcher that fascinates us so much?  Part of the reason for the interest may stem from her younger husband Ashton, but I’m convinced that the other part comes from her beauty on the inside and outside.  Beauty is not only skin deep, it also has a soul.  Elle’s cover managed to capture both.  Black-and-white photography was an excellent choice for this image.  Her expressive eyes convey depth and thought, while her cleavage, well that’s pure bombshell.
