‚ÄúWe wanted to evoke the glamour of 1930s Shanghai, an era of smoky, alluring elegance,‚Äù says fashion and style director Jessica Diehl. ‚ÄúWe had the gentlemen looking dashing in black tie, whilst the ladies were radiant in spring’s gowns‚Äîfrom Gucci to Yves Saint Laurent‚Äîand glittering with diamonds from Chanel and other arbiters of glamour.‚Äù
The lion cub was a surprise to our cover subjects, but The Social Network’s Rashida Jones‚Äîwho caught up with her co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield (the next Spider-Man)‚Äîhad no problem with it even when it started gnawing at her Tom Ford dress. In keeping with our 30s theme, Joseph Gordon-Levitt wore the same slicked-back look that served him so well in Inception, while Mila Kunis showed off the dancer’s gams that she used to great effect in Black Swan. Anthony Mackie, who took a break from filming Man on a Ledge in New York, was amused to see that the bar on which he was to pose was actually serving (he accepted a mimosa).
