MARION COTILLARD hits the silver-screen this summer as Miranda Tate, a board member Wayne Enterprises and love interest of Bruce Wayne (aka Batman, duh) in “The Dark Knight Rises”, the third and final film in the Christopher Nolan-directed franchise for ‘The Caped Crusader’. But before the beautiful French actress graces our cinemas, she’s taking over the newsstands as the cover gal for the August issue of American VOGUE.

Fashion editor Tonne Goodman styled the actress in a violet velvet Ralph Lauren Collection for the cover, which was lens by Peter Lindbergh. Stéphane Marais kept her make-up subtle enough to merely enhance her natural beauty while hairstylist Orlando Pita gathered her long dark locks into a wind-blown low ponytail.

In the issue, Marion is featured in a slew of dark and romantic looks from Fall/Winter 2012 Ready-to-Wear, including Alexander McQueen and Burberry Prorsum, as she opens up about working on the final Batman film while raising her infant son Marcel Canet. “She gave birth and was back on set almost immediately,” says Nolan. “She’s Superwoman.”

Making her VOGUE Magazine debut, “The Amazing Spider-Man” star EMMA STONE covers the July 2012 issue, lens by Mario Testino, wearing negligee-looking Nina Ricciivory and pale pink silk-and-wool dress with lacy black elements and a wool-tweed coat from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection.

Tonne Goodman styled Emma for the cover shoot and helped her accessorize the light colored pieces with sparkling star earrings by H. Stern, while hairstylist Christiaan gave her blonde mane a relaxed, partially swept feel and makeup artist Linda Cantello carefully lined her eyes to really pop yet kept her pout on the pale side.

For the editorial, Emma played the androgynous look by suiting up in patterned menswear-inspired outfits as well as a few sassy — and slinky — frocks from designer collections like Prada, Versus, Jil Sander, and Givenchy. “This is what fashion does for people,” Stone says. “It makes them feel like it’s an extension of themselves.”

Inside the issue, Emma talked to Nathan Heller about the latest Spider-Man flick, her idols (which include Diane Keaton, by the way), and finding the balance between drama and comedy in her acting career. | continue reading..
