Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman join forces for a stunning Vogue photoshoot directed by Baz Luhrmann, showcasing the timeless allure of Old Hollywood. The feature, titled “The Heist of the Heart,” presents Lively as “The Cat,” a glamorous jewel thief, and Jackman as the enigmatic L’Ombre. Styled by Tonne Goodman and photographed by Felix Kunze, this captivating shoot is featured in Vogue’s September 2024 issue.
Blake Lively, renowned for her roles in “Gossip Girl” and “The Age of Adaline,” expressed her excitement about working with Luhrmann. “I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say Baz is my favorite director,” she stated. Despite her initial hesitation towards photoshoots, Lively eagerly participated due to her admiration for Luhrmann’s work. She described the experience as transformative, stating, “Because it was Baz and we turned it into a multi-hour photo shoot with hair dryers becoming wind machines.”
Hugh Jackman, dressed in a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit for the shoot, praised Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as “old-school megawatt stars.” He admired Lively’s versatility, noting her seamless transition from a relaxed, family-oriented persona to a dazzling movie star. “It’s someone who is comfortable in their own skin,” he explained. “She’s walking around in pajamas and then five minutes later—it’s Elizabeth Taylor!”
The photoshoot captures the essence of Old Hollywood glamour, with Lively adorned in luxurious outfits, including a Michael Kors Collection dress and a Cartier High Jewelry necklace. The narrative around her character was inspired by her performance in “A Simple Favor,” which Luhrmann described as showcasing a quality that demanded a role beyond her usual repertoire.
This collaboration highlights Lively’s creative enthusiasm and Jackman’s enduring star power. Luhrmann emphasized the importance of play and authenticity in their work, stating, “A movie star projects light. They’re more luminous in a scene or on the screen.”
