Nicole Kidman's Killer Instinct Knows Few Rules in Vogue Australia by Steven Klein

Nicole Kidman's Killer Instinct Knows Few Rules in Vogue Australia by Steven Klein

Nicole Kidman makes her ninth appearance on the cover of Vogue Australia February 2024 issue, styled by Christine Centenera. Photographer Steven Klein [IG] photographs Kidman’s well-established ‘Killer Instincts’ fashion style with an interview by Hannah-Rose Yee.

Let’s discuss the snake. “I think it’s something to do with the same way that I skydive or scuba dive,” Kidman explained about her request to be subversive in the fashion shoot. Kidman finds snakes “alluring”, leaving her fascinated by the way “they slither and move” and by the notion of shedding skins. “You can become and try different things, all the time, which is what excites me,” she reflects poetically.

Opening her arms to receive the snake — which was larger than Kidman expected — the actor explained that she is able to enter a trance in most situations. This skill exponentially expands her acting skill set, in a fearless, freedom-to-coexist with just about any situation.

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.

Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”

There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.

The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.
