Julianne Moore has posed for conservative American fashion retailer Talbots’ fall advertising campaign. The flame-haired actress looks at ease in these commercials, and well she should as it’s her second season fronting them.
The commercials certainly aren’t revolutionary, but I think they sell the brand well. Moore might be dressed conventionally in her brown suit, hat, and shoulder bag, but she’s looking wonderful for her 50 years.
Michael Smaldone, the chief executive officer for Talbots, said Moore was a natural choice for the advertisements as “she’s a classic beauty who is an extraordinary actress, mother, author and a true modern woman.” It’s high praise indeed, but I think it’s deserved.
The last time we saw Julianne Moore fronting a fashion campaign she was getting her kit off for Bulgari. She looked youthful beyond her years, but I think I prefer the Talbots ads. They might not be as racy, or feature products as luxurious, but they’re much more approachable. Moore looks like the kind of woman you’d want to be friends with, and that’s really attractive.
Do you prefer seeing Julianne Moore all glammed up and dressed down for Bulgari, or are you more impressed by the down-to-earth Talbots commercials?
