I remember this Annie Leibovitz cover and love how it makes the gaze travel from the left with the super-styled actors to finally rest on Diane Keaton as an exclamation point, looking also very stylish, but in her own inimitable way.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
