Viewers Love Blake Lively And Hugh Jackman’s Retro Themed Cover Shoot for Vogue’s September 2024
Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman team up for Vogue’s September issue cover story directed by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. It has been inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s movie ‘To Catch a Thief’ and it has appealed a lot to viewers.
Blake Lively’s new cover story for Vogue where she is portraying a glamorous jewel thief has created a stir on the web.
The actress is seen sharing screen space with Hugh Jackman who is a good friend and co-star of her husband Ryan Reynolds.
The cover story snaps for Vogue’s September 2024 issue have struck the right chord with online viewers for its retro appeal.
Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has brought together a bunch of charming and breezy images, with Monte Carlo as the backdrop, that will take you back in time.
In the photoshoot, Blake and Hugh bring alive Cary Grant and Grace Kelly from Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief (1955) with Blake starring as The Cat and Hugh appearing as L’Ombre. The photo shoot has been aptly titled ‘The Heist of the Heart.’
There is a casino snap where the American actress is seen resting against the casino table. Netizens noticed Indian star Ali Fazal among the many faces in the background, who appears to be deeply involved in the game.
In one of the snaps, the couple appear delighted as they race in a Vespa scooter while in another, they are savouring the sun, sand and the sea!
Blake adorning a complete black Balenciaga catsuit, posing on the ledge, with her hands full of sparkling stolen gems is absolutely striking! The full moon in the background adds to the beauty of the snap.

“But when they said Baz will do it, I thought, Okay, I’ve always wanted to work with Baz. Even if it’s just a week doing a photo shoot for Vogue, that’s still working with him. Seeing through his lens and how he tells stories”, Blake said, also describing him as her favourite director.
In an Instagram post, Jackman called his collaboration with Lively a “full blown cinematic experience.”
“When one gets the privileged call to be a part of a @voguemagazine shoot - you don’t blink, you say yesssss!" the actor wrote in the caption. "No less for their September issue. To stand with my friend, the extraordinarily creative, smart and talented @blakelively. To have the vision come to life in what felt like a full blown cinematic experience by @bazluhrmann and @catherinemartindesigns. I keep coming back to one word … iconic. Thank you to the team of highly respected artists that made this happen.”
