Marion Cotillard for W Magazine

Posted on Nov 14, 2012 in Fashion

And now, your Pretty of the Day, darlings; Marion Cotillard getting her cray-cray on for W Mag. This one doesn’t need words; not because it’s breathtakingly beautiful, but because it’s so freaking weird we don’t know what to say. Still: eye candy. Enjoy, kittens. For fun, try and make up a story to go with the pictures; maybe something along the lines of Dominatrix in Wonderland.

Marion Cotillard is featured in the December 2012 issue of W Magazine photographed by Tim Walker and styled by Jacob K.

“The Rubber Nutcracker Suite”
Ruth Preston

…aaaaaand cue nightmare with full-grown painted-face toy soldier. And me trying to escape but wearing whatever those things are in the last shot and not getting anywhere.

  Where does one commission a latex nutcracker suit? Extremely-Rare-Fantasies-R-US?
  - Ruth Preston
    
    Well, you might check at Fetish Mart dot com* and search “Giant Patent Leather Human Ear Culottes.”
    
    *I have no idea whether that’s an actual online store; I’m not sure I want to know.
- Sara LaBatt
  
  Oh god I didn’t see those, had to scroll back up!
- Kristin McNamara
  
  He looks like the TERRIFYING love child of V (from V for Vendetta) and one of those display-on-your-mantle-in-December wooden nutcrackers.

  Rose McGowan anyone?

I would’ve loved to see Keira Nightley rock that last ovary dress.

  Iris Van Herpen I believe …

Okay, that’s fucking awesome. Ridiculous, but awesome.

Cool styling, but i feel the photographer was off his game here. It takes a village.

JAY-SUS! Nutcracker man is scary!
- cooperalden
  
  A little like those creepy burger king ads a few years ago.
  - http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie
    
    I haaaaated those commercials.
  - http://eclectictsunami.blogspot.com/ Cassie
    
    Oh, those were THE WORST. Who decided to link “Burger King” with “existential terror”?

  He’s going to be in my nightmares for ages.
- Qitkat
  
  Especially the 4th picture where he appears to be missing half his right leg.
  
  This creature could supplant clowns for terrifying small children and not a few adults.

FABULOUS!
Pennymac

Good Lord, weirdly creepy, especially that last pic. Are those HANDS holding onto her upper arms through the back drop? And I title it “Fetishes in Toyland”.
- http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie
  
  I had to go back and look at that one. Creepy.

  EGADS!

That nutcracker dude is weirding me the f out.

Marion looks GORGEOUS in these shots, though.
- 3boysful
  
  I am not sure the Nutcracker IS a dude. He has awfully slim thighs. Marion’s pretty tiny, right, so it could be a tall woman wearing shoulder pads?

    I noticed that too! and if that toy soldier IS a gal, that really adds some cross-dressing vibe to the fetish toyland, which is ever more wierdly cool, isn’t it/
  - http://twitter.com/marared Jaime
    
    I’m reasonably certain that’s visible schlong in the first photo…
- Laylalola
  
  I don’t understand how the mask makes his head look SMALLER — I mean almost inhumanly small.
http://victoriapavlova.com Victoria Pavlova

that third picture, it’s so Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction… Love this shoot, visually arresting.
- MintyRefreshed
  
  Marion’s wig and Uma’s wig are slight variations of the bobbed haircut popularized in the 1920s by Louise Brooks.
  - http://victoriapavlova.com Victoria Pavlova
    
    Yeah, but there’s also something in the facial expression, being sly or something…
TieDye64

Third pic down, that is one terrifying massage therapist.

What is that last thing that she’s wearing? It’s almost as scary as Tin Soldier Man.

  Vulva Pants.

Her hair is very Swing Out SIster. I adore SOS.

  You beat me to it. I was going to mention that. I’ll gladly join your club in adoring SOS.

  Break out . . .

  They are all copying Louise Brooks’ hair.

I love MC, but I hate her hair here. Too Pulp Fiction-ish, too geisha-ish.

In that last pic, you say cray-cray. I say vajay-jay!
Isana Leshchinskaya

i think this may be inspired by the steadfast tin soldier *hans christian andersen geek right hur* and she’s supposed to be the paper ballerina…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/21151157@N00/ rawrgrowlrawr

Yes, I do believe I love this. The second photograph is breathtaking. And I may be creepy, but I want a gigantic tin soldier as my friend.
WittyCism

For me, it was Alice in Wonderland meets Dune. (Really showing my age here.)

And is it awful to secretly want to own a pair of those latex-like boots in the fourth picture? Teehee!
- adnama79
  
  I think those are latex stockings w/ pumps. Which is even better than boots, imo.

“babes in toyland” obvs.

Nutcracker. Heavy on the crack.

Nutcracker nightmares! The last picture is almost JLo in ‘The Cell.’

bitch may be shutting it down, i just dont know what IT is.
l_c_ann

Woman enters her rose garden with her gardener, both dressed to prune roses.
But first she’s enveloped in a pesticide haze as she tries to kill the beetles that eat her roses.

She…misplaces… her knickers

She begs him to find her knickers

He gives her a bloom instead and the largest beetle decides to eat her and her rose.

She finds a perfect bloom.

Fabulous black and red fantasy. Weird, but fabulous.

i like this editorial. but sharon needles should have been the model.

  you. you are the chosen one.

That last outfit made me think of Alien and The Fly. Science fiction. Disturbing science fiction.

“Oh, mon mari, do you remember our wedding, so many years ago in this very garden?”

“I blew into ze ceremonee enveloped in a red veil, wearing a red dress and red lipstick, like ze naughty not-so virgin I was. I carrieed a single red rose just like ze first rose you gave me when we met ze week before at the backstage partee celebrating your debut in ze Nutwacker. Ze ceremonee was agonizingly beauteeful…”

“But not as agonizing as ze wedding night…”

“We couldn’t wait! We deed it on ze bench, right under ze statue of your father! Oh ze ecstasy!”

“Oh ze swelling!”
aumerle9

Geoducks aren’t pants, Marion.
nannypoo

This is strange and interesting, but I think she’s a lot more beautiful when she’s in the real world.
Carla_Charlton

As as kid I thought nutcrackers were scary and these photos have reinforced that!
Kato16

So many nightmares between this and tonight’s AHS episode.
hazydaydreams

She looks like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=724916801 facebook-724916801

The only thing I don’t like is the last one…it looks like a vinyl vagina. :/
MK03

I’m gonna see that toy soldier in my nightmares tonight…
kmk05

This is FABULOUS. I don’t know how I hadn’t noticed Marion Cotillard’s legs until now, because that fourth picture? OH MY GOD.
Puck Thornton

I would love to see the full version of that Nutcracker!
RzYoung

Hmn, interesting!

The last weirdo thingy is from Iris van Harper couture collection, if I’m not wrong.

Nutcracker meets nut cracker.

Nutcracker + V for Vendetta = something in this shoot is going to eat your face.

Roses make people do strange things? Babe in Toyland? Petal Pusher?

wonderful!

LOVE the hip cage corset (who knew?) with the thigh high vinyl boots! How does she manage to look sexy and sleek in that and not slutty?
Vaniljekjeks

Ok, I am getting those thigh-highs. Yum!

Was no one else getting “American Horror Story” bride of Rubberman here?

If it wasn’t for the giant kidneys (complete with ureters) on her legs, I would love that last pic. I really like the gauzey red one too. Decidedly bizarre editorial.
Lola67

I want to BE her in the 3rd picture down. Can’t quite explain it, but I adore it. The look on her face says “Don’t worry, I have this under control, and crazy nutcracker doesn’t even know.”

I fear that nutcracker will soon appear in my nightmares.

  Yes, me too! Freaky.

I just love that last dress by Iris van Herpen, it’s cracktastic.

I am trying to figure out what W Magazine is trying to sell with these pictures. Usually fashion magazines are all about showing clothes, so the readers will buy them. There is nothing in these midly grotesque pictures that anyone (in general) would want to buy. And, the freaky clothes with the Nutcracker props does not promote the holiday. Yikes.

  ” Usually fashion magazines are all about showing clothes, so the readers will buy them.”
  
  You’re confusing fashion magazines with clothing catalogues. Fashion mags are more about highlighting trends or showcasing fashion as an art form.
tereliz

I would have gone for “Babes in Domanatrix-land.”
Kate4queen

I can’t even look at them because of that creepy soldier!!
http://www.lippsisters.com/ Deborah Lipp

And then, at the end, her legs exploded.
Sara LaBatt

Wow, that is weird. I assume those vinyl thigh-highs were so tough to get on their just decided to leave them on for the whole shoot. Love the cage dress in 3rd & 2nd to last shots, but that last “dress” (?) is nuts!

Also, can’t sleep, Nutcracker will eat me.
http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

Weird and wonderful.
Scott Isaacs

Cannot analyze logically. She crosses the line into Helena Bonham-Carter territory, which is to say: LOVE LOVE LOVE. You get down and crazy with your whackadoo self anytime you want if this is the result, Miz C.

Last picture: THOSE PANTS! Love. Also, OMG CREEPY HANDS!

Oh that was fun. Though my legs are little sweaty now….
librarygrrl64

Sorry, but I can’t see the pretty because that nutcracker scares the everloving shit out of me.
PeaceBang

I love Miss C but this called for a real model.
http://twitter.com/annalizabet Anna Elizabeth

Holy crap. She looks just like Rose McGowan in The Doom Generation. I love the hair.
Judy_S

A cross between Louise Brooks and Alice Liddell (as photographed by Lewis Carroll). I love these pictures but I worry about the thing that is swallowing her in the last picture.

Fetish accents and historical references? From Tim Walker? What a surprise.
