Jennifer Connelly is one of those Fab women who makes me swoon. Not only is she an intense actress but her green eyes and fierce brows are transfixing. The house of Balenciaga is a full force to be reckoned with as well. When I heard Jennifer was to be the Spring face of the brand I got giddy. And here they are. As expected, David Sims' photography is bold, simple and beautiful. There are no frills — just Jennifer and Balenciaga. A fine choice to showcase both of the extraordinary talents. Only thing: Does Jennifer look a bit masculine? Maybe it's just the sculptured shoulders of the clothes. You didn't love it the first time around, do you love it now?

She does look very masculine in these ads.
1I don't like the ads at all, but Jennifer does usually make me swoon too, Fab! I've thought she was gorgeous since I saw Labrinth as a little girl!
2I usually like these things but this one, ewww too much!
3I think she's stunning but I preferred her when she was a size or two bigger.
4I enjoy the ad, but bring back the MODELS!!! Please no more actresses in Fashion ads!!!!
5the expression on her face is off or maybe i'm being nitpicky. and the body stance in the first looks a little off b/c of the placement of her head lol i know that sounds weird but i think there are little things that don't work in this ad. i think she has gorgeous eyes too btw
6omg she looks so skinny..2 much photoshop if u ask me
7I saw these yesterday and thought they were hideous.
She looks like some anorexic doll.
8Can you say Ugly.
9I think I just threw up in my mouth a little!
10I hate the way her body look like a robot or a broken doll. Weird, even for art's sake.
11She looks like a Baseball.
12i liked balenciaga's fall 07 ads a lot better.
13Fashion is for models, not for actresses, period. Why don't they stick to movies ? I would have loved to see Daria doing this ad, it would have turned out a lot better I'm sure.
14Oh geeze, when is it going to stop, and we'll see again only models on the cover and in the editorials of fashion magazines ?
If the ad aims to sell the clothes, this is not an effective ad. The clothes are ugly, the model looks awkward and looks "dumb"...i dunno, it's just weird looking
15She normally looks cute, even more when she's wearing her man on her side, but these ads look scary! The balenciaga colection does nothing for me.. It's kinda scary! I've passed it along, and showed it to my friends and they pretty much have the same opinion. It's a no no!
16who approved the extreme photoshopping?!?
17The ad itself is just bad (for the above mentioned reasons). As for the clothes, I like the concept of the exaggerated structure, but I don't care for the way it's been executed at all.
18Not good AT ALL.
19Love the ads. Hate the dress. The shoulders make it look like a football uniform. I've seen better stuff from NG for Balenciaga!
20Talk about tooo skinny, yikes.
21I give it points for being unique BUT the dress looks like it was made out of Paper Mache.
22is it me or does she look like she's in pain?
23looks like she's a bendable doll. horrid ad.
horrid.
24I didn't even notice that she was so skinny in the photos--my eyes were sore from looking at those ugly sandal-boots things. But after reading everyone's comments, wow. I mean there is photoshopping to get rid of the "flaws" and then there is PHOTOSHOPPING where you take a beautiful actress and turn her into a freak. She also looks extremely uncomfortable...which is not the best look for a clothing ad.
25Reminds me of Rumer Willis...
26Not a look most people are going for!
27she's really pretty, but
28I think to much photoshop
she almost looks NOT human
Freaky. Reminds me of Marilyn Manson's music videos.
29Love it.
30Horrible! I like Jennifer however I hate the dress and shoes together.
31she looks like a boken manequin..creepy.
32Lala77, Daria shot an editorial for British Vogue's February 2008 issue and it looks 100% better. I think part of the problem is those boots looks ill fitting on Jennifer something a long legged model like Daria could pull off without difficulty.
Here's Daria: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2336/2173101432_f8c2790ce1_o.jpg
33i'm glad everyone else thinks these are as gross as i do!! models are so much more interesting
34That is a seriously ugly look. I don't like it at all.
35I think she looks stunning. And I agree with you Fab, she is so gorgeous. I wouldn't wear it, and even if I wanted to I probably cound't (note the size of the waist). But I still think it's gorgeous.
36I liked her better when she had curves.
37I think Jennifer looks awkward and just plain hideous and in the second picture she looks like she's been cinched up so tight she's in pain, there's nothing remotely beautiful about her face in these pictures. Blech, blech, blech.
38i don't like it at all , she look so uncomfortable it make me uncomfortable too
39They managed to make a beautiful and graceful actress look really awkward.
40I looooover her but I hate this ad.
41I think the reason why she looks so uncomfortable is because of the lack of air, cause that tight dress seems to be doing the job.
42Can we say photoshopped? She looks like her legs grew about a foot and her waist is impossibly skinny. Weird....
43I think the dress is lovely.
The boots make me want to throw up in my mouth a little.
44she is beautiful, but that dress and boots uf soo ugly!
45shopdiary Im so agree with you !!, the model look stuning and the outfit doesnt look that terrible...
46i don't love the dress, but I like her. My boyfriend is in LOVE with her, he thinks she's perfect
47she is truly beautiful, but i could create that hairdo right after i get up in the morning. and her face looks like she's in pain.
48yeah, and on daria you can see her entire knee in those boots.
they are swallowing
up jennifer! of course they'd cover my entire knee too!
49she looks kind of sick!
