Justin is sure generous. And I guess he cares about Natalia's knees, that's sweet!

I personally have not seen the first one, I think. Do you know where it is from? It seems relatively recent.

It is Natalia, no question in my mind (the mole on her left cheekbones is def hers!) I also think those may not be freckles but oddly enough some dirt speckles for an artistic touch (?) because some of those spots are also present on her hand that holds the cigarette, if you look carefully.

Is it said where you found the scan that it is Nati? because to me it looks like more Caroline Trentini for the ed "Lipgloss & Cigarettes" in LOVE SS 2011... but maybe i'm wrong, as Natalia is also in an ed of this issue... I think it is Natalia (for one, Trentini is much bigger chested )

Aliceinfashionland, I think after you elaborated your point I can see that I am agreeing with you much more. yes, I think success in her industry and self-promotion through whatever avenues and means go hand in hand. Back in some old interviews words like "clever, money-oriented" come to mind to me now. Somebody, I recall, said about her that due to her childhood poverty all she could think about in the beginning of her career was money (I am almost quoting). Well, that's not surprising, especially given that she was new and had to "make it' and was supporting her mother's family. And yes, I also recall how she said she loves attention and spotlight. But I am glad that she used her celebrity to change the situation in Russia, shake up those wallets in that country for her charity. So her means to me justify her purposes. To me it simply speaks of her gradual maturation. I don't have much to say/guess about Justin - clearly he has not been bringing her down so far on this separation issue but Is it due to his gentlemen-ness or because he is not asked? we can't know. You are definitely right that reality has hit for her. Hopefully, it does not impact kids in a terrible way. Afterall, it is important for THEM not to feel lonely/alone: their mother works a lot and their father seems to be absent.

Eos, I could not agree with you more - on all of the points that you made.

I personally disagree that Natalia suffers from self-pity. True, I felt squeamish when she eluded to her "unhappy" past moments with Justin - simply because it was about a very private moment - such as the arrival of their first newborn and taking care of him. That, and because of the fact that indeed in the past she only had good words to say about Justin in various articles/interviews about their life. I would not call it self-pity, though. If reports of his extravagant life style are true it could be very difficult for her to tolerate on daily basis: a non-working husband, easily burning mutual money down, not doing anything with his life. To argue by your own logic, Justin is his own man, he did not HAVE to follow her, he could pursue things interesting to himself, so it is not like she made him sacrifice his young years for her and the family. I suspect that due to his upbringing and wealth, he may not have sufficient drive to pursue things in life. But these are all our guesses. But mostly I disagree that she is a strictly business-woman. To me, she has a huge heart. She does not sit still, enjoying her success, pursuing beauty projects only, or filming herself in Hollywood, her heart is obviously with poor children in Russia. Other than that, I agree with your initial statements that she had a great life with Justin, a fairytale-like and that perhaps it is not generous of her to bring him down now for whatever reasons that may seem obvious to her. Private life should remain private, especially the negative moments of it. The lesson I learn from it is perhaps a cliche but still holds: nothing is ever perfect for anyone, no one is exempt from hardship even when they are on top of the world; every marriage/relationship has multiple dimensions.

never seen this one! Natalia looks a bit too manly for my taste here.

thanks eos, I il have to look for this interview wow, you really think that she is still with Justin? it seems to me that he is out of the picture and this is why there is sadness in Natalia's eyes. so much good luck with Naked Heart foundation and appreciation of her as a model come along with her being lonely. But maybe I am incorrect. I hope so!!!! I hope they are together and she simply lets him so thoroughly find his artistic fiber again...

guys, which interview where Natalia was supposedly rude, are you talking about? is it the one, which was posted here above? where she answers about her preference in cosmetics and daily fashion style? I did not notice anything marginally rude about it... Have I missed some link? I also see some sadness in Natalia's eyes, or at least that overwhelming glow of happiness and euphoria, which was constantly present when she was young and in love, is gone. But she is unstoppable. How does she have this energy? does she need to fill her days with as much of responsibility as possible to survive?

yep, that's them! I guess they are period-appropriate- thus, work for the film. I also noticed that Natalia wears her diamond earrings while filming. I noticed that these earrings are among her most consistently-worn jewelry items of her own. <_<

I'd have to agree with Eos, that golden or honey-colored hair is the best look for Natalia. I do not think that she reduced her lips (it never even came to my mind simply because the rest of her face slimmed down so much compared to her baby-faced features in the very beginning of her career). As many have said that hey loved her fuller face, I think they responded to how consistently full her face was - nose, lips, cheeks, chin back then (along with her neck, shoulders, chest, hips)... But that's why she was compared to Lolita as it is somewhat childish. Natalia does not have an easy life style and it now shows in her sharpened features. As it should. I personally think that yes, she has dyed her hair subtly towards more blond or towards more honey on various occasions. I believe that when she started modeling her natural hair seemed darker than nowdays and typically it is the reverse: as people age, their hair get darker, aside from going gray of course. (I had naturally sandy-colored hair but it turned darker as I aged.)

Thank you fashionmistake1234! I have a question. Natalia said that she never dyed her hair. On these pics where she sits on the couch smoking, her hair looks very light to me. What do you think? Eh, I also miss Justin with Natalia - they looked good together, as if they belonged to each other...

wow, thanks Eos - I have not seen the one with red fan.

these are awesome, thank you Fashionmistake! I love Natalia's candids especially from vacations.

posted by Liran Yana on TFS. Sounds like the divorce has happened but is kept under wraps. Don't know if we are to trust the source (Russian magazine "Jara" = Heat)
