Emma Stone Gives Her Best Pin-Up Girl Pose To Vanity Fair

by Verena von Pfetten | 12:50 pm, June 28th, 2011

Vanity Fair has a very well-known habit of putting dead people on their covers, but even when their star subjects are alive and well, they can’t seem to help giving them the old-timey treatment. Emma Stone snagged the mag’s August cover, and like Katy Perry, Lindsay Lohan, and Tina Fey before her, she’s got a variation (in this instance, a decidedly tousled one) of a finger wave, red lips, and pin-up pose down pat.

Stone looks gorgeous, if a little overly made up, and we’re curious to see how this issue sells. VF is following it up with a Lindsay Lohan cover feature for September, which gives them two back-to-back blonde starlet issues in a row — though their respective career trajectories currently couldn’t be more different.

Inside, Stone talks about dieting (hers consists of heroin, sugar, and wine), working out (it makes her angry), and her least marketable skill (making dog biscuits). She comes across as charming, self-effacing, and delightfully down to earth — which gives Ms. Lohan a very tough act to follow.

What do you think of the cover?

    I have a love/hate relationship with my VF subscription. The investigative political articles are seriously top-notch– incredibly well-researched, well-written and valuable for engaged citizens. The opinion pieces and essays from Christopher Hitchens and James Wolcott are generally brilliant and worth my time.

    But good God– the fluff pieces that sell that mag are a travesty. Diversity is an obvious problem for VF (I once unsubscribed because it was so tiring to see the same folks featured over and over). And almost every single ‘hot tracks’ piece ends with a Frank Sinatra line. Every time! (Ok, I admit that’s a ridiculous whine, but come on– they can do better than that old formula.)

    Anyhoo– Emma Stone is lovely on the cover, which counts for something, but it’s not groundbreaking or even particularly artistic. Pretty for a moment.

    Can we go back to putting models on the cover?
