"Glamour" makes up some famous facesThis month's Glamour features some of the most iconic images of American women over the last 70 years — reimagined with some fresh Hollywood faces. The women range in impact from activists to television show characters to actresses to athletes. Here are a couple of my favorites: Camilla Belle as Mary Tyler Moore Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta Chanel Iman as Althea Gibson Lindsay Lohan as Madonna Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn and Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter are inspired, while Lindsay Lohan as Madonna frankly looks like the kind of hijinks she might get up to on a rainy Sunday afternoon. There are more images at Glamour.com, including the really odd choice of Emma Stone as Carrie Bradshaw. Not that Emma Stone is bizarre, but the influence of Carrie Bradshaw compared to, say, Michelle Obama (Alicia Keys) is kind of negligible. Check out all the photos and let us know which one is your favorite. Submitted by on March 5, 2009 - 9:00am. |

whoa!
The travelling pants girls look amazing. I've never been an Alexis Bledel fan, but that truly IS an amazing picture, and America as Dolores Huerta is awesomely inspired.
And on a side note, isn't Emma Roberts about 14? or am I just getting old?
you're...
Huh
I'm going to have to go look up Dolores Huerta and edumacate myself.
ps. Alexis Bledel is the 'We Can Do It!' woman (by J. Howard Miller), not Rosie the Riveter (by Norman Rockwell). Common mistake though!
CLASSY!
I love it!!!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
love!
my favorite
Nice!
I'm not usually into Hayden, despite being a huge Heroes fan, but for some reason she looks incredibly hot in the Amelia Earhart outfit. Which makes me feel a little sketchy, since she's 19, lol...
Um, is Carrie Bradshaw really a female icon? That's a little sad.

Stewie: Listen, why don't you save yourself years of sexual ambiguity and get fitted for a pair of Doc Martens and a plaid flannel shirt?
NICE
ummmm....
I like
Camilla, Hayden and Alexis.
I love these!
I remember my last roomate had a serious devotion to glamour magazine. I also remember not giving the mag a chance before i judged. boy was a wrong it turns out glamour is very woman friendly.
^_^
Elisha Cuthbert as Brandi
Elisha Cuthbert as Brandi Chastain I think also deserved mention.
And I think Alicia Keys as Michelle Obama was my fave of all of them.
I was surprised by how much I liked the Heroes girl as Amelia Earhart and the Gilmore Girls girl as Rosie the Riveter.
Alexis Bledel as Rosie the
Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter awesome

“These women didn’t have to look a certain way. They didn’t have to have a man. They could love whomever they wanted—that has definitely influenced who we are now.”—Spencer Grammer, 25, of ABC Family’s Greek
nice comment to the hippie ladies! I really like these pics especially alexis, america, elishas and hayden panettieres.
but the Audrey Hepburn one does not catch the elegance, style and grace this woman had as well as the melancholy. And the Carrie Bradshaw one is seriously disturbing. But what I find even stranger is the comment by Emma Stone that there is no girl in this generation that has not been influenced by Carrie ... uh, I think none of my friends have really been influenced by her ... ok, maybe different generation (I'm 23)? different continent?
It's not just you about the Carrie Bradshaw thing.
I don't know anyone who was influenced by Carrie. We had much more fun trying to be like Samantha. Maybe we were just naturally slutty. We even used to play a game making up scenarios then asking WWSD (What Would Samantha Do?). But I guess you had to be there, and kinda drunk.

So of those photos are very convincing. I would have thought the Lindsay Lohan photo was actually Madonna.

Real women wear sensible shoes
Great photos. But does glamour, more often than not, have to include high heels?

Can someone help out my
Can someone help out my unusually slow self, and point me in the direction of the rest of the pictures on the website? I can't find them, but I know they'll be right under my nose.
Alexis' and Americas are brilliant, not so sure about the Emma Roberts one, though. She doesn't seem as elegant as Audrey always looked.
I went through all of the
Oh god, I didn't think I
Oh god, I didn't think I could love Alexis Bledel more than I did...
But Oh my...
Can't find the article
Found link thorough google:
great concept
hayden looks fantastic. and i totally dig lilo showing off her... flexibility. the woodstock women pic is a bit out of place, but did remind me of the ariel levy article from the latest new yorker. if rumor willis were a van dyke, i'd be asking for a ride. also love the elisha cuthbert and alicia keys pics, but emma stone as carrie? ick. and even a little terrifying. but yay for more positive female role models!

amazing pictures!
I absolutely love the ones with Alexis Bledel, Hayden Panettiere and Alicia Keys. I think Alicia has a lot of class for a woman her age and she's a great choice as Michelle. Great concept alltogether, although I wouldn't have chosen Lindsey as Madonna - seems kinda weird to me. Lindsey might be really talented, but she's mainly in the media due to all kinds of gossip, and not real scandals the way Madonna was seen in the 80s and 90s. But apart from that, really almost all of the pictures are great!

Like it or not, Sex and the City has been hugely influential.
Like it or not, Sex and the City has been hugely influential. I don't think there's any woman in this particular write up that can compare with the influence of that show over the last 10 years. It's too bad, but yes, certainly influential. Strikingly so. Certainly more so than Michelle Obama so far.
Really? Seriously?
Emma Roberts to portray Carrie Bradshaw? Emma seems be lacking.. weight, energy and happiness.
Rumer Willis looks so great in that pick. Can she look like that all the time? Emma Roberts does not look like Audrey Hepburn at all. I'm surprised that they had her pose in that position instead of the other famous pose. Elisha Cuthburt. Swoon. Alicia Keys. Double swoon.
choices
Lindsay Lohan did work it
...
Awww I cant check it out, for some reason when i click on the link or type in "glamour.com" it prings me to "Glamour Paris" and they don't have those pictures on that branch. It offends me.
