Blake Lively doesn't like photo shoots. Over the years, the 36-year-old actress has been voted the world's most desirable woman and made several most beautiful women of all time lists. She's also acted in many fashion-forward roles and repeatedly dazzled on the red carpet .
Yet, Lively reveals to Vogue that she dislikes photo shoots because she's "just too shy." "I'm a very shy person, so I don't like doing photo shoots, really," she tells the outlet. "Because when I'm acting, I'm playing a character.
And I don't...
I don't feel super comfortable in front of a camera. It's part of why I don’t want to be in magazines." She continues, "I know it's not something I'm supposed to say—I mean, this is I think the first cover I've done in four years.
Because I just- I'm just too shy." But Lively doesn't let her shyness show on camera. For the September 2024 issue, Lively stars as "The Cat" alongside her good friend Hugh Jackman as "L'Ombre," in Baz Luhrmann 's Hitchcock-inspired Vogue fantasia, "The Heist of the Heart.
" Lively stuns in a Michael Kors Collection dress and Cartier High Jewelry necklace alongside Deadpool & Wolverine star Jackman, who wears a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit. Lively credits Luhrmann for her agreeing to the photo shoot. "I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say Baz is my favorite director," the mother of four says.
"I just love Baz so much. Because he celebrates love. Nobody does love like that.
" Lively says her "life has become more intimate" since she'.
