Amanda Seyfried appears in the December issue of Vanity Fair in a gorgeous photoshoot that VF has just made available online. She’s currently promoting her roles in both Les Miserables and Lovelace, which are two movies that probably couldn’t be more different. Oddly enough, VF describes Amanda as “very pale and very interesting” (which seems like a strange way to describe an actress, right?) The shoot shows her draped in various couture outfits including some selections from Valentino, Dior, and Elie Saab. Mostly, this post is about eye candy because Amanda is so seriously beautiful, but she arrives with very little gossip fodder, so this is merely a chance to ooh and ahh over pretty clothes. Also, this dog is pretty damn cute.
There’s also a brief interview to go along with the shoot, and it’s not terribly interesting stuff, but Amanda does say a few mildly amusing things about Hugh Jackman and going down on a popsicle. Don’t worry — those two topics do not belong together at all. Here are some excerpts:
On shooting Mean Girls: “Back then I thought every movie that was made found an audience and things were all stars and butterflies,” she sighs, “before I developed a relationship with this world.”
On working with Hugh Jackman in Les Mis: “There is nothing bad to say about Hugh. He isn’t human. I bet you anything he’s got some kind of superhuman capabilities, beyond just being just the kindest, gentlest soul I’ve come across.” Plus, she says, he has a wildly inappropriate sense of humour, which she shares. Together they invented alternative story lines that transformed their characters’ tender relationship into something altogether less innocent, like the old Renault “Papa!” and “Nicole!” ads gone wild. “We sexualized everything as much as we could. It was really funny, the moments we could find . . . It’s like every movie has another version, another satirical version of itself.”
On the challenges of Lovelace: “We were doing a scene where I was supposed to be going down on Peter Sarsgaard. We used a popsicle, and I had my arms covering the popsicle. It was footage that he was going to show the Deep Throat guy, to get her into the movie, to get her cast. I was laughing hysterically throughout. I couldn’t stop laughing.”
[From Vanity Fair]
I wonder exactly what Lovelace will do for Amanda’s career. This isn’t the same movie that once starred Lindsay Lohan (that was Inferno and went on to cast Malin Akerman), so it’s probably not quite as trashy as any pic that involved itself with a Lohan. Still, playing a pr0n star seems like an unconventional choice for Amanda Seyfried, who does best in romantic comedies, musicals, and weepy Nicholas Sparks films. Oh well, here’s some more clothing pr0n!

That Irish wolfhound is GORGEOUS! Look at its paws! Amanda looks small standing next to it!
I love her expressions in the photos. She’s has a serious bitch face in the third one. And let’s give her and the photographer some credit, at least they didn’t go for the usual open-mouth route.
I give Vogue top marks for this photoshoot.

I agree!! I love Irish Wolfhounds!! I’d love to own one. Right now we have three mini dachshunds…can you imagine dachshunds and an Irish Wolfhound? They’d come up to it’s ankle! LOL!
As for the movie…I don’t know about most people but I have no desire to see a movie about Linda Lovelace no matter who’s in it. I doubt it’ll help her career.

I have two 12 pound miniature doxies (who are getting to be a bit elderly) and a 95 pound black lab (who is still a puppy). They look SO silly next to each other! But I love how careful and gentle the lab is not to jump or step on them even if her rowdy puppy-ness. One of my doxies had back surgery for IVDD and is severely handicapped and in diapers…and my lab acts as her protector. I love dogs so so so much. (That Fiona Apple story made me cry when I read it last night and then again today when I tried to read the comments on the story here. Dogs should live foreverrrr!!)
The Irish Wolfhound in the pics is gorgeous!!

My money says if you got an Irish Wolfhound, the dachshunds would rule. Your poor new dog wouldn’t know what hit him.

That was the first thing I noticed. The wolfhound. I’d love one… but they have such a short lifespan, I couldn’t handle it.

Same here. I want one too, but I want them to live longer with me!
It is kinda sad that the bigger dogs generally have shorter lifespans than their smaller counterparts.

lovely shoot!
I love that chair/couch hybrid. I’m sorry I don’t know the english word, we call them chaise longue…
Report this comment as spam or abuse
That’s what it’s called in English, too. We borrowed the word.

~Thank You Both!~ (themummy & Sisi) as dim as this is going to make me sound… I’d rather wondered what that type of furniture was called (as well as often wondering just what a chaise lounge was when I would come across it in a book) – but I’d wonder, and then promptly forget to look it up later. (which is odd. I’m normally good at that.) My family has had several, but we also called it a fainting couch – nice to finally know just what the dratted thing really is. (and wow doesn’t this make me look like a nitwit.)

It’s chaise longue in French (“long chair”) but in English a lot of people do keep the chaise and substitute lounge rather than saying longue. But in Victorian times they did call it a fainting couch. So you were right all around.

She is pretty boring but not everyone needs to bring the crazy in every interview.
I love the photo of her in the Valentino gown. I think it is the same one (or something similar Anne Hathaway wore a few weeks ago. Amanda would win in a “bitch stole my look” scenario.

she is beautiful, but her acting seems very vanilla, she’s decent enough but once the movie is over I don’t really remember her performance, if that makes any sense..

She’s vanilla. Inoffensive, wears clothes well, very pretty – but also a titchy bit forgettable.

As an actress I think she’s just plain bad.
Don’t like her demeanor either — especially annoying were her interviews where she mentioned her former boyfriend even though the relationship had ended long before. I’m actually surprised she didn’t mentioned him this time.

Nope, Dominic Cooper. She constantly mentions him in interviews, really sounding like she’d get back together with him (if he wanted to).

Let’s be honest she is one of this starlets who will never get her breakthrough moment. She is around forever and will be around forever but never as a star.

Bland as an actress. Playing a pr0n star is not going to change that.

She was absolutely corgeous in Casanova and I thought “this girl has unique beauty”. Somehow she can’t manage to do it at all outside Casanova, it’s just somehow dull in an odd way. There’s something off the way they style her (and she styles herself). As if she’s supposed to be really corgeus, everything just right, but something simply dims her light.

Hi! I think you are mistaken her with Natalie Dormer: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3887110400/nm1754059

Natalie is a goddess and a talented actress. She’s in Game of Thrones and I heard she’s playing a small part in The Counselor.

Gorg! Love her. She was in a movie called Chloe with Julianne Moore that was very sexually explicit with lots of nudity. It wasn’t a porn or anything buy I think Lovelace would be along that vain. She wouldn’t pick anything trashy that would ruin her career. She seems pretty together.

Yeah I was going to say ‘Lovelace’ is not her first suggestive role bc of Chloe and..wasn’t there one with she and Megan Fox being naughty? ‘Jessica’s Body’ or something? Anyway, my point is we have seen her be something other than the good girl and it’s pretty cool..shows she has range. Plus, she is obv a beauty. She’ll be around for a while.

Love the dresses. Does anyone from which designer is the first and the second last one? I´m guessing Elie Saab first, and Dior/Gaultier the second last one, but I´m not sure.
I can´t really be bothered to care about anything Amanda Seyfried, she is so meh.

Ha! I read your comment/reply upthread and quickly gave up posting my opinion about Seyfried because I thought you’re talking about her — didn’t want to rain on your parade. Then I scrolled down and saw this one. Phew!

Haha, NO, my comment was about Natalie Dormer(the Tudors), who someone has mistaken for Seyfried. I don´t care about her, except Mean Girls I haven´t seen her in anything, yeah she is bad, but I just don´t care. Thanks for your sensitivity.

I think she’s just ridiculously pretty. Incredibly good gene pool, there. She may be a bit dull, but, well, you can’t have it all. As I say about my very stupid cocker spaniel, she doesn’t have to be smart, since she’s a natural blonde

It is weird that while she is playing Cosette, Anne Hathaway’s making more headlines, even though Cosette and Fantine are both major roles.

Probably bc she is not near the attention wh0re that Anne is.

I have a soft spot for her since Mamma Mia and can REALLY sing!! I loved her chemistry with Meryl in that movie.
She is gorgeous, with those big eyes, a very unique beauty. She may seem dull to some, but I think she’s sweet and seems like a hard worker, like she has her act together (especially compared to her Mean Girl costar Lindsay Lohan!!), no bad behaviour reports form her.

She’s beautiful and hard to believe Lindsay Lohan is only 2(!!!) years younger than Amanda yet she looks 10+ years older than her. I like to imagine Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfriend snickering and LOL to themselves about Lindsay’s delusions of Oscar winning. Because you just know La Lohan was probably full of her own importance even in her Mean Girls day and probably acted like they were the lesser stars. Yet Rachel and Amanda are constantly working on big projects with big actors and Lindsay well, she has a job on Lifetime(!!!) and is possibly headed back to jail (again!!) her career as a has-been is going great!

Such a beautiful face but the photoshoot isn’t all that interesting, don’t know what it is about her that just fails to really capture my interest :/

In the right role she’s good. She’s a pretty gal and not boring, maybe on the quieter side and nothing wrong with that. At least she is sweet and pleasant and doesn’t come with Kirsten’s bad attitude and director-loving reputation or Lindsay’s constant drama and self-entitlement ways, so likely a good hire for the movie people.
