Woman we love – Katy Perry

From the moment Katy Perry swaggered into the studio for the shoot of our August cover, we could tell the results were going to be something special. The issue, on shelves now, has already got tongues wagging, but as an extra treat here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at Perry on shoot, courtesy of photographer and director Yu Tsai.

First look at August – Katy Perry

aug_cover_final

The August issue of Esquire, featuring the utterly splendid, pop-chart topping and soon to be Russell Brand-marrying Katy Perry, hits the news-stands on Monday. Until then, here’s a sneak preview of the UK and special, cover line-free subscriber covers.

Style, Women we love

Daisy pulls it off, literally

When we filmed this month’s cover star, Daisy Lowe, getting down on our recent shoot, we had no idea the stir the film would create. So as a hump-day treat, here it is again. Enjoy.

But then along came model and Bond actress Olga Kurylenko and, as our video shows, everything else was forgotten. See the full shoot and interview on page 127 of the May issue.

Cheeky Book / Ugne Andrikonyte / Erotic

The exhibition, which as you might have guessed celebrates the naked female form, runs from 11 March to 12 April at the Annroy Gallery, London, NW5 (more…)

Video clips, Women we love

Woman we love – Talulah Riley

Another fine video for our Woman we Love archive which proves the St Trinians actress is no ordinary girl in more ways than one – she wrote a novel at 18, is married to the millionaire founder of PayPal and, perhaps most intriguingly, has a thing for quantum physics. “Dark matter is interesting,” she told us. “Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. There’s whole swathes of stuff we can’t account for…” We couldn’t agree more. See the full shoot and interview on page 154 of the March issue.

Why we’re crazy about Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana

She’s the star of the biggest film in, well, since James Cameron last rewrote the record books, and according to the Internet Movie Data Base (www.IMDB.com), she’s the hottest actress on the planet right now. More importantly, Zoe Saldana, who plays Neytiri in Avatar and appeared as Uhura in JJ Abrams’ rejuvenation of the Star Trek franchise, is a Woman We Love. Here, we present more of the exclusive interview she recently did with Esquire… (more…)
