Blake Lively plays a jewel thief in VERY glamorous Vogue shoot directed by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and featuring Hugh Jackman

BBG News

As a dedicated follower of Blake Lively’s career, I must say that her recent collaboration with Baz Luhrmann for Vogue is nothing short of extraordinary. Having been away from the limelight for a while due to her focus on family life, it was refreshing to see her return with such grace and poise.

In a stunning photoshoot directed by the renowned Baz Luhrmann for Vogue magazine, Blake Lively portrayed a dazzling jewel thief.

‘The Heart’s Caper’, depicts Blake, aged 36, adopting the role of a stylish cat-burglar nicknamed The Cat. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman, at 55, portrays L’Ombre, a man who pursues the thief romantically but clandestinely aims to capture her, unbeknownst to her.

In the pictures, A cat is seen chasing after a stunning Cartier High Jewelry necklace that isn’t its own – eventually leading to its arrest, thanks to L’Ombre’s intervention.

On the cover, the actress from It Ends With Us is pictured elegantly standing while clutching a sparkling necklace. She’s wearing an elegant black gown and has her hair perfectly coiffed in a grand sweep.

In the glamorous setting of Monte Carlo, our tale unfolds as The Cat gazes lovingly at her newest acquisition – a jewel-encrusted necklace, once owned by the iconic Elizabeth Taylor and pilfered from its rightful place.

She wears a black Balenciaga pantabodysuit, hat by Hood London, and sunglasses as she perches on a railing overlooking the city at night. 

Throughout the article, a script details the glamorous tale of The Cat as she attempts to steal a Cartier necklace belonging to a Doyenne.  

In a party setting at a casino, Blake dazzles with a shimmering LaQuan Smith gold gown. L’Ombre becomes captivated as The Cat readies himself for his turn to roll the dice.

However, The Cat seems more interested in the Cartier necklace worn by The Doyenne. 

In a different mission, L’Ombre is tasked with apprehending The Cat, yet he surprisingly develops a closer relationship with The Cat against his given instructions.

I found myself drawing near to The Cat on the sandy shore the very next day following our dramatic encounter at the casino, and subsequently, we embarked on an exciting adventure as we roamed around, exploring various sights together on a powerful motorbike.

Shadow navigates the motorbike while Kitty, adorned in a stylish polka-dot gown by Dolce & Gabbana, beams with joy and hangs on tight to him.

But eventually, she is captured by the authorities.

As I watched, the climactic scene unfolded, with Blake getting apprehended, her gaze fixed on L’Ombre. Yet, in the script, it was revealed that he averted his eyes from The Cat, despite a profound desire for one final look, which shows his unwavering self-control.

As L’Ombre restrains himself from taking a final peek, there’s a hint of curiosity hanging in the atmosphere, asking itself, “What could have been?”

During an interview with Vogue held in Rome, Blake expressed that he particularly enjoys working with Baz Lazarus, going so far as to call him his favorite filmmaker.

‘I just love Baz so much. Because he celebrates love. Nobody does love like that,’ she added. 

When asked if Baz influenced her decision to do the photoshoot, she explained: “I’m quite timid by nature, so I generally dislike participating in photo sessions. You see, when I act, I embody a character, and that gives me a sense of comfort. However, being in front of a camera makes me uneasy, which is one reason I prefer not to appear in magazines.”

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must confess that this opportunity marks a significant milestone for me – it’s been four years since I last graced the cover of a publication. Yet, amidst the excitement, I find myself at a loss for words, for the simple truth is, I’ve always been a bit timid.

She mentioned that her life has grown more personal recently, as she’s been focusing more on their shared three kids with Ryan Reynolds and, consequently, taking on fewer acting roles.

When they mentioned Baz would handle the task, she mused, “Alright, I’ve long aspired to collaborate with Baz. Even if it’s only a week for a Vogue photoshoot, that’s still working alongside him. Gaining insights into his perspective and storytelling methods,” she shared.

She chuckled mildly, saying, “It’s not so much a gift from me to the world that I’m placing here. I recognize how fortunate I am to be able to do this.”

In reference to the moment when she was handling it, she exclaimed: ‘That was Elizabeth Taylor’s necklace I was holding!’

‘Elizabeth Taylor’s necklace in my hand. I have to show you. So there were these people there that had these rubber covers on their fingers, and I had a foam mat below me in case the necklace fell….’

Hugh has a friendship with Ryan Reynolds, who’s married to Blake, and they are co-starring in the recently premiered movie titled “Deadpool” and “Wolverine.”

Hugh described the couple to Vogue as having immense charisma, reminiscent of classic Hollywood stars. However, they’re surprisingly ordinary when spending time together at home with their numerous children and pets. “Blake will be baking or cooking, suggesting we make pizza one moment,” he shared, “and then suddenly she transforms, revealing her star power, which is just as astonishing to me.”

Blake and Ryan tied the knot in 2012 and are parents to three lovely offspring: daughters Inez who is 7 years old, Betty at 4, and a 1-year-old son named Olin.
