Paz de la Huerta for S Moda Magazine

Posted on Dec 12, 2011 in Fashion

Someone used a pressure washer to get the makeup off Paz’s face! Exciting development!

Paz de la Huerta featured in the December 2011 issue of S Moda magazine.

Say what you will about her acting style or personal style, this little chickie has LOADS of on-camera presence. It’s not just that you can’t take your eyes off her; it’s that you can’t stop trying to figure her out. She really should reconsider her normal way of wearing makeup, because underneath the paint she’s got an earthy, stripped-down sensuality she shouldn’t be trying to hide.

Boys! Do they list a manufacturer on those polka dot stockings? Because I NEED them!

And I think I’ve said this before, but there are very few times when I “get” the Paz appeal. This is totally one of them, though.

      I might not be after you figure out how much they cost…..but Wolford’s last FOREVER.

        That’s why I let myself invest in legwear — ultimately it’s cheaper to buy a few $50 pairs that last for years than it is to keep buying a bunch of 2-pairs-for-$20s that I get two wearings out of.

        Recent convert to this way of thinking about tights. As with shoes and panties, sometimes it is so worth spending the money! Foundation garments like this so key.

        This! hand wash them and they will last for years

        I HATE spending money on clothes, it’s usually depressing and rarely gratifying. But I will shit $50+/pair without batting an eye on Wolford legwear.
        
        Another thing that will save your fancy tights? Hoisery gloves. They’re really helpful if you have nails.

        Really? I had one pair of Wolfords that were so super-delicate, I ripped them within 10 minutes of putting them on. Throughout the day, I proceeded to add 3 or 4 extra tears and runs. By evening I had to intentionally demolish them to go for the “artfully ripped” look. My boss at the time said that was par for the course with expensive hosiery. Meanwhile, I’ve had numerous pairs of cheap nylons last for years without a problem. NEVER AGAIN am I spending that kind of money on tights. (I confess I bought them at the Wolford sample sale, and even then it was three times what I would spend on a pair from VS)

        $50 for thigh hi’s??? I have trouble believing that these would last. There have been times that I went through 3 pairs of hoses before getting out of the door (prior to apparently developing some sort of allergy). It wasn’t my nails and if my hands are dry I have used lotion. But I’ve had my fingers or toes just go right through them.
        
        Tights with more cotton have lasted longer – but these are mostly sheer. I cannot imagine $50 for them (and they were over $70).

The cover images is genuinely intriguing. Deliciously lit, the colors are perfect, the textures are palpable. And her expression, semi-duck lipped as it is, hints at humor and mischief. It’s one of those photos that seems almost to move, as if had the camera clicked a second later, it would have captured a rascally grin.

The other photos look like they were shot in a battered women’s shelter.

Why does she always look like she just emerged from a coal mine?

In total agreement, what a nice surprise to see her look real and interesting at the same time, plus looking her real age as well.

  I get a serious 70s vibe off her in the first picture in the window, which I think works really well for her. Every picture after that sort of diminishes for me, though…

Wow, she’s absolutely stunning without make-up! Her typical trowel-applied get-up makes her look like a freak. But this? This is simply gorgeous!

same face same face same face

even scrubbed clean, its the same expression….blank and more than a little drunk

They may have pressure washed the makeup off, but you’ll have to pry the ducklips from her cold dead face.
Anonymous

her face does look young and beautiful here- less makeup flatters her. and i like her hair darker, as it is here, but still looking natural. so often darker hair just looks fake. the shot sitting on the bed with polka dot stockings is our favorite (me and my 3 year old granddaughter, maleena. she says i should tell you her full name is maleena belle salinas villasenor.

too bad paz is wearing that dead animal on the cover. in the second photo she looks like a bird. we hope she doesn’t think she can fly.
- Lori
  
  When I saw the feather dress I was less concerned that Paz would think she could fly than that she had killed the feathers’ original owner with her bare hands. She does look much better with a lot less make-up, but she still scares me a little.

She does nothing for me here…. or anywhere else.

I *finally* get her appeal. she looks really great here.

I agree she has “it” in spades, but what is with her and the duck lips?
Leslie Streeter

She’s beautiful! Why would she do that other stuff to herself?
Anonymous

Still no. Eeew.

Wow, I think she’s really gorgeous without all that weirdo makeup. Who knew?

Also, I don’t actually think she’s doing duck lips. Some folks have naturally full lips, and she’s one of them.
- Anonymous
  
  I don’t think so — compare the windowsill photo to the others. It looks to me like she’s intentionally pursing her lips in the closed-mouth shots.

That’s exactly it. I cannot figure this girl out, cannot get a bead on what she is.

  Which, I’m convinced, is entirely intentional.

Love the shot of her sitting on the bed looking like an innocent little vixen.

Yeahhh….I still don’t get it. Maybe guys find that look sexy, but to me, she just looks sloppy.

She looks so cold in most of these. Like, literally cold. Brrrr.

Why do her makeup artists insist in putting dark red-based eyeshadow on her lower lid? Makes her look ill, high, whatev.

The earrings on the cover are superfug!
spooki C

Eyeliner, get some please. I think if she would just line the inside of her eyes they would actually stand out instead of looking oddly beady. Thank the higher powers that she is not wearing dark brown lipstick!
Judy_J

I dunno…she just looks damaged to me. She does look better without all the paint, but she still looks like someone who is unhappy all the time.

She is MUCH better looking without all that makeup!
Anonymous

Wow, I’ve never seen her w/o brown lipstick. Such an improvement! The first few pictures, she reminds me of a cross between Leah Michele and Alanis Morissette. The last one is totally Octomom.

She looka-like-a man…
Rand Ortega

Less makeup = 10 years younger & 10x’s prettier.
Stop covering your pain & insecurity w/ insufficient paint, Paz. Like any good actress, use them in your performances onscreen!

(We’ll tackle the alcohol issue later. Much much much…)

Even though I’ve seen her cleaned up on Broadwalk Empire, I was surprised at how pretty I find her here. Shame she so cray.
Anonymous

She does clean up rather nicely and she definitely DOES have that “it” factor. Too bad she doesn’t seem to want to put away the cray-cray. Or the duck face. That said, these are pretty cool photos.
Anonymous

Crazy like a fox, that one…that was just enough vulnerable to keep us all wanting to see what’s next after next.

I love her, but then, I have always had a weakness for the broken girls who fix themselves with steel pins and a quick shellack. Smile, I’m ready for my closeup.

OK I am about to run outside to see if a another planet is about to hit earth because I am about to type words I thought I would never type ….

Paz looks sort innocent in this photo essay. Sexy innocent but still sort of innocent.

I hope those word don’t summon mega-meteoroids. If they do … sorry.

Hmmmm…. I’m not seeing it. She looks pretty amateurish to me (though I agree she looks a lot better w/o all the makeup).

She wouldn’t have to huddle up like that if she put some more clothes on.

Someone needs to take that pressure washer and use it on Miley’s face in your previous post!

Really, kittens? She’s giving duckface in every picture! EVERY. PICTURE. Sometimes I don’t understand you bitches at all.

Not a fan. I’m totally over her 1 look and pout.

She actually has a pretty face under all that stuff.
What I don’t like is her hair.

I don’t think she’s pretty. Even toned down I get a “skank” vibe off her, too.

In these pictures I get the feeling of someone very damaged. Either out on probation or waiting to get picked up and taken in (to jail)

Every time you have published anything about Paz de la Huerta, I get scared. Not this time, though. Can someone please tell her how much better she looks this way? I’m sure I’ll be screaming in terror at her next red carpet, but this was a welcome departure for her — she looks human.

I liked her a lot in Boardwalk Empire the first season–second season she became too sad. It’s like you say–you can’t take your eyes off her (and you keep waiting for her to do something crazy, which in BE she usually does). These pictures are nice because she doesn’t look stupid.
Anonymous

Now I’m itching to see her in a less voluminous hairstyle that will make the most of her bone structure instead of that would-be-sultry mop.

ETA: I don’t think they manage it on Broadway Empire. If her hair will do it, I’m thinking the kind of framing one does with the cut, not various kinds of curls and poofs.
Mary McClelland

I hate her hair.

She’s a beautiful and sexy woman, no doubt. I find her intriguing.

Yeah, I’m not feeling it. She seems so obnoxious, she makes Lea Michele look demure.

Say, without that nasty makeup, she’s actually really beautiful. Unfortunately this won’t last, will it?

If you’re cold, Paz, put on a shirt… or some pants.. or cut two arm holes in that wig.

I find it mildly ironic that on the cover the quote says: “I don’t agree with actresses who need to show off their bodies” and then we’re thisclose to getting full-on nip in the 4th shot.

Her expression is exactly the same in every single picture.

I guess…in all the photos where she’s hunched over, she looks like she’s suffering from cramps

Hate it that her bangs are a) so heavy and b) so long. I am sorry but the haircut looks like it was done by someone who also cuts the residents of the State Home for the Incurably Bewildered or something.

Oh sure, she’s better without all the makeup. Unfortunately she still has that face.

She’s not pretty at all, but she’s attractive. (Isn’t that the description of Scarlett O’Hara in the first paragraph of GWTW?) She’s so much more appealing when you go right to her eyes instead of her skin and lips.

  She could be stunningly jolie-laide, but she doesn’t have the presence/force of personality. If she’s alive (physically & in the sense of being open to life’s events) long enough, she probably will get there. I would bet that she will be stunningly more compelling at 40 than she is now. If she gets that far relatively unscathed, or, at least, recovered-from.
  
  Or, maybe she has it in person, but it doesn’t come across in photos? I don’t know.

she’s so much better looking when she stops trying to prove something that has long been proven & overthrown & given up & thrown away & exchanged for something emptier & cheaper which has become the thing that she’s trying to prove that can no longer be proven cos its essence has dissolved so it’s no longer there to worry about. if i make sense which i do if you know.

  I hope dissolution is just a costume she is trying on.

She is beautiful. Wow, in the fur and panties she looks gorgeous. Why does she do what she does to herself normally?

The bangs are still a tad scary, but she looks SOOOOO much better! Killer bod, too.

Wow. These are the first photos I’ve seen of her where she looks (1) her actual age, not 20 years older and (2) not drunk. Not surprisingly, they’re also the best photos I’ve seen of her. Keep it up, girl!!

PLEASE tell me you’re going to talk about the latter half of Boardwalk Empire S2 at some point this week!

Maybe some of these tips will rub off on her and she’ll have a “Eureka!” moment and start dressing and applying make-up more appropriately. One can only hope.

So that’s what she looks like! She’s pretty!
