Jennifer simply ages like fine wine, she’s in her mid 50s, yet she still looks gorgeous. She and Lily Collins look like they could be related, which is probably why they were cast as mother and daughter in a movie.

  Jennifer and Jodi Foster both look even more beautiful somehow as they age.

I loved the scene of the baby scene in The Beautiful Mind where she took the stance that it’s enough and enough ❤

She’s also wonderful in Argento’s Phenomena, was that before or after Labyrinth?

Surprised she didn’t discuss Career Opportunities. That mechanical horse scene was a pivotal moment in the history of cinema.

I pretty much grew up with her and still recall seeing the poster for Career Opportunities in a Greenwich Village Cinema where I guess I was seeing something more serious and thought “isn’t she that model turned actress or whatever doing more fluff…” How wrong I was. Requiem for a Dream was transformative and over the years she’s become one of my favorite actresses. Seeing her stunning green eyes and contrasting black hair I thought she must be this generation’s Elizabeth Taylor: but without the drama or weight gain. A stunning beauty ageing with such grace.

Very disappointed that they didnt cover The Rocketeer, Career Opportunities, Blood Diamond. She’s had some great roles.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

1 day ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
