Young Hollywood Does It Again

It really is a "hard-knock" life  for the young pretty ones of La La Land. Imagine the pressure of having to look as if Photoshop had their way with you every morning? Flawless skin, hair that resembles the best weave EVER, and clothes which are envied by every young lass out there. 

The higher powers of La La Land have spoken; the "IT" girls of a new generation of starlets have been given their moment. The pretty young things have being gracing the covers of  the latest issues of thee most notable international publications. Here are a few of my favourite issues from 2012!

Vanity Fair kicked off their annual Hollywood edition. Shot by acclaimed photographer Mario Testino, starlets such as Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Olsen, Paula Patton & Jessica Chastain wore pastel satin dresses, complete with fluffy feathers.  I simply loved this look, as it had an inherent Old Hollywood feel - rich textures, muted tones and a distinct "20 and 30's Boudoir feel". 

Dakota Fanning graces the cover of the February issue of Elle UK, clearly stating that the dainty darling of Hollywood is indeed growing up. Shot by David Slijper, the shoot featured Dakota in an array of sultry poses, and a yummy seductive pout. 

Taylor Swift plays the ultimate "girl-next-door" in a yellow sweater by Rodarte, on the February 2012 cover of Vogue USA. The talented singer switches it up with dreamy, feminine pieces by Michael Kors, Miu Miu & Andrew Marc in the spread shot by the lovely Mario Testino. The shoot really seemed to capture Taylor's rock-star-meets-country-girl persona, which ticked most of my boxes.
