What do you get when you take Christina Hendricks and style her in some TO. DIE. FOR. Oscar de la Renta, D&G, Holly Fulton and Errickson Beamon?
Perfection.
I want every single item she is wearing.

On a side note – I know there has been talk about Christina’s London Fog campaign and whether or not she was photoshopped in some of the images. If you compare these two side by side, it certainly looks like her waist and hips were slimmed down for the official ad image:
I would also argue that she has been slimmed down in the photo below, especially when compared to the killer curves she’s modeling in the GQ UK photo:
What do you think? Photoshop or no? And if so – why do companies so often insist on minimizing curves, especially in a case like this when the woman in question is celebrated for them?

I agree it is perfect and beautiful. I hope she continues to ignore the comments from people who “RF35″ above. It is wonderful to see a beautiful actress to success is not a size 2 I think it is an excellent role model for young women. (I think it is interesting to note that in the late 1950′s Marilyn Monroe had the “ideal” body, and that the average person was much thinner than now, when the “ideal” body is much thinner, but the average person is greater than the ideal.

I actually read somewhere that GQ UK photoshopped her chest down on the cover photo. I can't decide if they did, or if it's just the design of the dress.

Agreed on all counts.

I agree – the hair really makes her look different. I like her new shorter hair-do, but I have to say I LOVE the long locks.

These are fantastic! I think she looks totally different in the first set of photos – I believe it's the hairstyle.
Yes, she definitely looks photoshopped in the last photos. They always seem to do that don't they?
