The Devil wears Prada? can't see Natalia sounding like that...Can you tell us he gist of the article and which statements made you think of that movie? Yes that's the title Pautinka, thank you. Actually it is mainly the "2 personal assistant" and "11 full time employees" detail that made me think of it. I realize my yesterday statement above is an over reaction to a slight personal disapointment regarding the spirit of this shwo. People who were there obviously enjoyed, as pictures show. As I said yesterday, may be it is just me. Very surely it is. So sorry if my words sound like a judgement. I aknowledge it does'nt have to be.

Thank you too Ariti Except the shoes, too sharp for my own taste, I like what she wears there better. Though it looks old and out of fashion, it does in a rather pleasant way.

Thank you FashionMistake for the scans Well, I've got an incresasingly weird and unpleasant feeling reading the Grazia article and watching pictures from the show. Everything looks so vulgar , anyway nobody seems to enjoy, and all the reported words from Natalia sound so dry, sad and soulless. Desperate. But maybe that's just me. Surely it is. I can't believe she likes this kind of show. I try to imagine somebody told her to go in this direction. Maybe a man, I don't know. Maybe she paid someone to conceive it entirely instead of her. Anyway it is said she's got 2 personal assistants and 11 people full time working for her. Again, weird is the feeling I get. Like this character in this book /movie (sorry don't remmeber the name) with Meryl Streep acting a US Vogue main director.

Thanks natalia-v.net "What's this guy telling to Natalia making her interested ?"

Thank you Eos. I like that she said "you've got to be able to get detached from your feelings sometimes" and that, as Oscar Wilde, she doesn't like changing fashion, that she'd like to do long lasting things. I don't like the fact they didn't even listen to what she was saying. I only watch this channel 10 minutes a year, it's not gonna change. No question was talked about her relationship with a french man.

Thank you Eos, is it over already ? I missed it... (BTW, I'm watching their news, what a stupid channel)

Just gorgeous ! I wish I was her !

I get the same feeling Pautinka, Natalia looks to be very visibly "very much into him" when AA simply doesn't seem to care about her presence. I'm glad to see Lucas was there, though I wonder what fun he could get from this diner, unless there were other kids. At least it shows AA is involved enough to regularly meet Natalia's kids ? Just a suposition. Thank you BigMax and Fashionmistake for the pictures.

Old but so cute Thanks to vodianova-online.net

Very interesting thoughts, Cachet, thanks for sharing ! And happy new year to everyone !

On other pictures of this serie there is Lucas who is maybe 3 then so it must be around 2004 or 2005. You should find them on nataliavodianova.net galery.

Thanks Pautinka, Ariti and TheDNV for your inputs. Well this story is turning pretty weird. I totaly agree with the fabrication feeling you get The DarkNV. Anyway though buttoks teasing with clubs, I don't feel any strong chemistry between Natalia and AA. Their communication looks pretty poor. Just a feeling from me. I am mostly surprised by the "interview". Is Justin really refusing to divorce ? Hm what a weird situation. Anyway I'm also surprised by the news of spending New Year skiing with children in the north of France. OK it's AA's family background, but you don't have the slightest chance to ski there (flat country), unless Natalia is confused between east and north. In addition as far as I know children are in Uruguay right now (cool they see their dad) and shouldn't be back before 2012. So well I look at these pictures, interviews and pieces of news with greatest interest, but with a grain of salt too

My feeling is that Natalia has and will always have the need of emotional and social revenge (on her missind dad, on her mom's loneliness, on being put apart by other children because of her taking care of Oksana, on poverty etc...). I think she is led by this extremly human need of revenge on life. It leads her to do the most wonderful things. It can also lead her to act with almost unscrupulous ambition. I am not saying it is. I say it can. One can also look at it from another angle : she is led to repeat the same pattern : being attracted by unemotional men (leaving dad, unemotional husband, andI like the picture of the cold fish you paint with AA). Or from a last angle, the best possible one, queenlike : she would like to lead AA to use his part of the LVMH fortune in a more philantropic way one day.

Thanks Meloni. But why am I so unconfortable loking at these two ? I can't explain but I feel something is fake. I hope Natalia will not be hurt.

Thank you so much Ariti ! I am confused about the photographs of Natalia's sisters. I only heard Oksana's name when it seems to me they also show Kristina. And what do Natalia's grandparents say which would be new ?

Extremly elegant, fresh and simple. Would be perfect with a bra. IMHO.

I agree Maryna, the red lipstick is too much. The whole make-up is not her best. I wish she could grow her hair longer. And blonder too. I know she aknowledges hair issues. I wish she hadn't. At the Digital Art Collection Website Launch her joy looks unatural, I can't explain, I have the feeling she is a playing an excited little girl which she is obviously not anymore. To add a positive note I like the Etam pics, both the suits, Natalia and what they made with her, cheap but simple and very fresh. Thanks everyone girls for bringing pictures.

Thank you for the new pictures. I feel unconfortable looking at the pics at "Russian Fairy Tale' Jewelry Launch". I don't find her so gorgeous and stunning than before, I don't like her style and I have the feeling she tries too hard to look radiant and happy, especially to the eyes of AA, who doesn't look so "in love" than she is (?), and I can see there's something fake, I don't know what. Maybe she's evene not in love with him but with what he represents. Maybe it's just me, but I wonder where the ancient Natalia, so simple, fresh and natural has gone...

Please can someone tell me who this guy is ? He talks a lot in some russian video about Natalia... He is the scout who "discovered" Natalia in her home town. Thank you Pautinka ! At some moment I was wondering if he was her russian BF.

Please can someone tell me who this guy is ? He talks a lot in some russian video about Natalia...

Thank you so much Ariti ! I don't like her recent style, too much classical and out of age. It doesn't suit her very well and makes her look older. In addition the black lace up and the sharp edge shoes look almost vulgar to me. She looks much better as a young girl, which she still looks like. She has plenty of time in front of her to dress and look like a Madame.

I don't know why but comapred to AA, Natalia seems so much more alive. He always looks half-present to me. Maybe I am totally wrong - I hope I am! I think understand what you mean. He looks a bit weird, uneasy, and he's uneasy to look at. On some level, Justin too looked slightly weird, looking nice and happy but not implicated in any situation. Justin was more handsome, Antoine is virtually much much much richer ! To me the main question is : as a relatively young bachelor, would AA engage with a mother of 3 ?

thank you ariti! The reporter asked Natalia whether she can confirm that Justin was a womanizer and Natalia absolutely denied it. She said that she got married when she was very young and since then developed a lot as an individual which led in turn the two of them to fall apart, like "oil and water". She said that her career was never the primary goal for her since she had a baby very early in that career, which obviously made the baby the priority. Natalia said that she is on very good terms with Justin now because when it comes to making life of their children easier the two of them have a complete consensus and for her children their daddy is always right and good. She also mentioned that her destiny was foretold by an old man, to whom she kindly gave some fruits back in the days of her selling fruits. He told her that she'll marry a lord - which was astonishing to her and her two friends to hear because she was then in the most unlucky domestic situation growing in an underprivileged family. But it turned out true and when she met up with those two girlfriends much later, they all had a laugh at this story... Thank you so much Pautinka ! I like the way she opens up about her relationship with Justin. Like if things were ok now. Maybe that's not true yet (may be it is !), anyway, that's a respectuous and mature way of clearing things up for the media. And for the goodsake of her children.
