For the first time, probably, I quite frankly dislike her make-up and actually the whole outfit - seems kinda pointless. But her makeup here just looks aging. Loved the dress and the necklace, but the hair is not helping and, yeah, neither is the makeup.

Wow...! We can barely recognize her! Frankly, I don't see the point of hiring such a beautiful woman if they're going to Photoshop the image this much and mess with her facial features. Thanks anyway, pautinka.

Natalia Pour ETAM Fall/Winter 2011-12 ANV And also: "Mega-model and up-and-coming actress Natalia Vodianova talks film, photo shoots and her fall fashion must-haves By FASHION Staff September 2nd, 2011 11:00 am Natalia Vodianova My Style By LauradeCarufel What’s your approach to modelling? ‘It’s like acting for me. I always try to understand the inspiration behind the photo shoot—the woman, film or book that we’re translating into a photograph.’ Which photographers do you enjoy working with? ‘Everyone who works with Steven Meisel gives 100 per cent of themselves because they know how incredible the result will be. Steven is such an enigmatic person that he makes you feel really important, but at the same time you never quite know what he’s thinking. It’s liberating because you have to learn to trust yourself.’ What is your most memorable photo shoot? ‘There was an Alice in Wonderland shoot with Annie Leibovitz [for Vogue] that was magical. Tom Ford, who played the rabbit flying into the black hole, turned up in a picture-perfect suit with white gloves. Then Annie said, ‘Tom, do you mind standing on your head to make the picture work?’ That doesn’t happen every day!’ You’ll be acting opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Belle du Seigneur. What attracted you to the role? ‘I’m not a professional actress, so I had to pick a project that really spoke to me. I felt I understood Ariane’s character so well. She’s young and immature, but still so innocent. It’s a beautiful, complicated love story.’ Who are your style icons? ‘Audrey Hepburn. I absolutely adore her style, and the way she lived her life was so inspiring. I also admire Marlene Dietrich for always pushing the boundaries of fashion.’ How would you describe your style? ‘Because I’m a model, I’m quite flexible with what I wear. Sometimes it’s more rock ’n’ roll, sometimes more elegant, but the core of my look is very feminine.’ What will you be wearing this fall? ‘Sofia Coppola designed a beautiful bag for Louis Vuitton that I’m in love with. It’s very simple, very her.’ What is your favourite fall shoe? ‘A Christian Louboutin shoe with Swarovski crystals. The crystals are like a rainbow—they keep changing colours. It’s a fairy-tale shoe.’ What was your first fragrance? ‘CK One. When I arrived in Paris, it was the first thing I could afford to buy. I was so excited that I bought one for myself, my mother and my grandmother.’ What are your must-pack travel items? ‘Vitamins, and an eye mask in case I get tired—Guerlain does these wonderful Super Aqua individual masks. I also travel with my own chocolate—I love Green & Black’s 85-per-cent dark chocolate.’ Do you have any hidden talents? ‘I’ve been cooking since I was six, but I haven’t done it enough to really develop my talents. I have quite a good palate and nose. I can taste something and know what’s in it, so I can steal it from the chef! And I’m passionate about making salad dressings.’ What’s on your iPod? ‘My favourite band is the National. I also like the XX, Fever Ray, Johnny Cash, the Killers and Snow Patrol.’ What are you reading? ‘Life of Pi, and a brilliant history book called Catherine the Great and Potemkin: The Imperial Love Affair.’ What is your ideal weekend? ‘I try to have all my weekends off so I can spend time with my children. We go to the beach and the cinema, eat ice cream, watch Russian cartoons. Sometimes we go riding. As long as we’re together, I’m happy'." Source: FashionMagazine via ANV

I find this a bit rich. I don't see what's there to be "upset", especially about her kids seeing the pictures, because, well, wasn't she snogging Arnault in front of her kids in the first set of pictures? Look, I completely understand that her kids are very young and would in all likelihood be upset to see they mum kissing another man, but the onus to ensure that they are not affected by the separation lies with her and her husband, not on her fans. She needs to exercise some parental control over the internet content her kids are exposed to. If by giving them unrestrained, unlimited access, they happen to see something which they upsets them, well, that's her "mistake", not anybody else's. She's a public figure by choice - a model and now even an actress - who's dating a public figure, and it goes without saying that she will be hounded by the paps; comes with the territory. She really can't whinge about pictures being posted on fan sites. She had no qualms in parlaying her personal life and her fairytale story into editorials and spreads galore; so it's not like she's really drawn a clear line between her personal and professional life, is it? Also, I'd be curious to know what the "mistake" is. Well, it was definitely the mistake of sites like Vogue UK to have taken for granted that it's her official page without verifying it, but it really isn't the "mistake" of the ADMINS of that page in question itself. Those pictures were also posted on sites like ANV, tFS etc; and there's bugger-all she can do about it. ALL 'slebs put up with it. If she gets photographed in a public place, and if those photographs do the rounds on the internet, then it's obvious those pictures will be posted on many sites. If she doesn't want to see such pictures, she needs to choose her holiday destinations more carefully, and exercise a bit of discretion. If she doesn't want her kids to see the pictures, she needs to set up internet filters or restrict their access to only a limited number of age-appropriate websites. cachet, I entirely agree with you. That's why I found this whole story curious. If the "friend" person who contacted the Facebook administrators is indeed relaying a message from Natalia herself, which might perhaps be the case, then she needs a new publicist, stat. And to grow up. As a celebrity, who opened her life and her home to the press during the golden years, from Vogue to Hello, she needs to understand that there's no way back. She may whine about it, but this is the way things are. Once you invite newspapers and magazines to take pictures of your living room, and you talk about your husband, your children, it's not like you can turn the channel off when things get a little less editorial perfect. This is a too good a story for photographers not to follow. And, yeah, Ibiza is swarming with paps during the summer - she knows that. I myself had the impression that she was trying to be seen. There are exclusive resorts all over the world where you're absolutely alone, shielded from the photographers. It's not like they can't afford it. As I see it, you either do as you please and don't bother about what people think and say afterwards, or you behave. She was making out on a beach. It's not like the paparazzi climbed over a wall to take pictures. They were on a public place, for Pete's sake. If you don't want your children to see something you're doing in a public place, then don't do it. Simple as that. This works for any and everybody. Parental control over the internet also works. Many, many fan sites posted those images. ANV, Natalia-v.net, TFS. And I don't blame any of them at all. I found the images a little too flaunting, but nothing out of this world. I believe the administrators and members of these sites thought, like myself, that she was well aware of the paparazzi around her and simply didn't care. Pictures had been taken of her and the children with Antoine on the beach the day before. She was laughing, playing with the kids and hugging Antoine. The photographer must have been very close, because the pictures are very clear. She seemed very ok with that. I know people will defend Natalia's inalienable right to make out on a public beach and not have pictures posted all over the net. Yeah, sure, I wish I could fly too. It'd be lovely to revoke the Laws of Gravity, open my arms and simply jump from the Empire States. However, that's not the way it works. You jump, you fall. Natalia is a celebrity, she needs to learn how to deal with the press. I'm one not to condone paparazzi, but this episode reeks immaturity. If, of course, the "Facebook friend" is indeed a friend of Natalia's, and is speaking for her. We never know.

Curioser and curioser. <_<

Yeah, thedarknv, the album was deleted, you're right! Too much of a headache for them, I believe. It's interesting: NYMag says Natalia doesn't have a Facebook page. Are they guessing again? Did Natalia herself or her publicist say that? What about the old Facebook page? The one which was allegedly hacked? And what about the new one, that she's supposedly rebuilding?
