The new and improved Lindsay Morgan Lohan is back to setting the fashion world on fire. First, with her Harper’s Bazaar Spring 2008 Fashion cover and 14 page editorial spread in the March issue and now with a Marilyn Monroe tribute cover and photoset for New York Magazine.
For this legendary photoshoot, Lindsay Morgan Lohan poses nude for world famous photographer Bert Stern in a recreation of one of his most infamous photo shoots of Marilyn Monroe.
Stern photographed Monroe in 1962 at the Hotel Bel-Air in California, six weeks before she was found dead from an overdose of barbiturates. Stern recreated those images with Lohan this month, at the same hotel, with Lohan wearing a blond wig and not much else.
In the essay accompanying the photos, LML, who admitted to a serious interest in Monroe, said deciding to do the photo shoot was easy.
“I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor,” she told New York Magazine.
Stern told The Associated Press that he found women like Lohan and her tabloid companions Paris Hilton and Britney Spears “interesting.”
“They’re girls that draw attention to their notoriety and their celebrity through their behavior,” he said Monday.
He noted that Monroe and Lohan had similar problems with alcohol but added that — in contrast to the sessions with Monroe — there was no alcohol on the set when he photographed Lohan.
He said he thought the photo shoot would be good for the young actress, giving her the chance to portray herself as a grown-up. He also lauded her for her willingness to do it in the nude.“I thought she was a natural, not at all squeamish,” he said.
