Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman grace Vogue’s September cover with a Baz Luhrmann-directed, Hitchcock-inspired shoot, featuring a surprise cameo by Ali Fazal.
The cover of the September Vogue featuring star Blake Lively has been going viral. Directed by the ace filmmaker Baz Luhrmann known for helming films like ‘The Great Gatsby,’ the illustrious issue features fabulous photographs with one of them even featuring Ali Fazal. Exuding quintessential Baz vibes, the shoot features several scenes-like snapshots that give off a maximal charm. In the retro-style cover shoot, Blake shares the space with ‘Logan’ star Hugh Jackman.
The photoshoot was directed by Baz as he styled Blake and Hugh as characters from Alfred Hitchcock’s famous film, ‘To Catch a Thief,’ evoking Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. While Hugh was styled as L’Ombre, Blake was styled as The Cat. After Blake dropped a series of pictures, Bollywood fans took over the comment section after they spotted the ‘Mirzapur’ star Ali Fazal in one of the photographs shot reflecting the Hitchcockian mysterious casino scene. While fan wrote, “Ali Fazal is everywhere these days. Loved seeing him with Blake and Hugh,” another fan commented, “Baz Luhrmann’s vision for this shoot is incredible. Blake, Hugh, and a cameo from Ali Fazal? Perfection.”
