Cameron Diaz channels old-school Madonna for V Magazine

camerondiazvmagazine

I’m not sure what in the world is going on over at V Magazine. Their cover shot is of Cameron Diaz channeling “Papa Don’t Preach”/“True Blue” era Madonna. And now I have that song stuck in my head. “I’m gonna keep my baby… oh…” Anyway, a source close to the photo shoot (who I guess didn’t want their name mentioned with this strange cover) says that this shows how Cameron “toughens up”. Uh… sure. Because Cameron’s image was so soft before? And I really hope that hair is a wig.

Cameron Diaz has gone from golden-girl Hollywood actress to teasing tough-girl in one sexy cover shoot which seems to completely overhaul her image.

With cone bra, thigh-high black leather Prada boots and tiny shorts, she looks like bad-girl Madonna from her controversial 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour.

And her hairstyle – in an Agyness Deyn-style peroxide crop – is the spitting image of Madonna’s in the 1986 True Blue cover shot.

If there was any doubt of the look Diaz is going for, the cover’s strapline ‘Get into the groove’ gives the game away – a chorus line from one of Madge’s most famous songs from that tour, ‘Into the groove’.

The 36-year-old actress was photographed by duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in London for the cover of the V Magazine Beauty Issue 2009, set to hit stands on July 7. The bra was fashioned by the stylist and made from gaffer tape.

To complete the image she has even had a tattoo of a naked woman in a rose painted onto her arm by an on-set artist.

Cameron Diaz is certainly making a statement by following in Madonna’s rather lewd groove.

My favorite part is this line: “The bra was fashioned by the stylist and made from gaffer tape.” The magazine wouldn’t even buy or rent a true old-school Gautier cone bra. They made it from tape! Hilarious. And if Cameron pretending to be Madonna wasn’t rough enough, this month’s V Magazine also has a NSFW topless photo of Lady Gaga. I could have gone my whole life without knowing what Lady Gaga’s nipple looks like, but there you go. She’s wearing a “a space orbit hat” and nothing else. Enjoy.

Here’s Cameron leaving a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in New York City on June 25th. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

    Meh. I’ve always considered “True Blue” to be my favorite Madonna song. Must be the video, with Debi Mazar shaking her butt in those spandex pants!

  2. Sauronsarmy says:

    I think she looks great. Its nice to see her do something out of her usual “beachy california girl”. Then again I never had a problem with Cameron.

  3. lizzie says:

    I love the way she looks and totally agree with Sauronsarmy about her doing something different.

  4. Ester says:

    This is more from the “Express Yourself” era…with the bullet bra.

    True Blue was much earlier. Same hair, but no cones.

  5. Cinderella says:

    That look took a lot of hair gel.

  6. TinaWithPom says:

    Fantastic photo, but to really look like Madonna, Cameron’s eyebrows needed to be darker and bolder.

  7. Ron says:

    It’s a Madonna/Gwen hybrid. She looks great.

  8. jennifer says:

    Love it, looks fantastic.

  9. Bodhi says:

    Great idea, but she still looks like a smushed frog…

  10. yourmother says:

    i thought it was marilyn manson till i read the title, i was like ‘wtf is he doing now… oh.’

  11. BlueSkies says:

    Diaz is just not aging well. Her face is just all shmoosed up and clay-like. Some age well and look better but she is the opposite. The nosejob actually screwed her up or is it the botox and face fillers?

  12. db says:

    All I can say is, “ICK.”

  13. Sam says:

    Gotta go with Bohdi on this one. Does anyone else think she looks like the guy from the movie “Powder”? I like her and all, but…

  14. waldemar says:

    The cone bra is from the blonde ambition era, Madonna at her best. Cameron looks nice, but then again, doesn’t she always? Am not gonna look at Lady Gag and her nipples. Yuk.

  15. Nneikha says:

    umm…she kinda looks like Gwen Stefani!!!

  16. Mon says:

    She looks more like Max Headroom

  17. pumak says:

    she so needed to make a change towards exactly this direction! i think shes not ordinary and its about time to start living her own way

  18. Lisa lis and tha cult jam says:

    I don’t mean to be well uhhh mean but Cameron is really not cute… I don’t know why but she really takes unflattering pictures whether it be on magazine covers or in real life she just isn’t that cute
