Former child star and Hollywood regular Jennifer Connelly has been roped in to be the face of fashion giants Balenciaga. Connelly has already featured in the fashion house’s upcoming spring line, where she’s modeling Nicolas Ghesquiere’s floral-printed short dress. Eerily similar to frock-dresses more suitable for very young girls, the ensemble unfortunately does nothing to flatter the figure or the feminine graces of the Oscar-winning actress.
She won an Oscar for her portrayal of Marion Silver in ‘Requiem for a Dream’, released in the year 2000. The frightfully high-fashion photo-shoot was conducted by acclaimed British fashion lens-man David Sims and reminds one of promotional posters for polio-eradication drives in some third world country. One could only hope that the next ad-collection from Balenciaga, featuring Connelly, are less 1990’s and more contemporary.
