Sky Ferreira gets the full Madonna treatment in the next issue of V, doing a multitude of Ma-poses for none other than Mario Testino. I've seen and met Ferreira, who is pretty and quite talented. But I don't see the reasoning behind her as Madonna, and aside from some aggressively accurate styling...I don't really feel this transformation. She has more of an exotic look or something. But I will say she is, in some shots, fairly close to 1981/1982 Madonna. More here.

Madonna's latest fave photog, Tom Munro, does the honors in Vanity Fair (September 031 2011) of helping to show off stylist/designer Arianne Phillips's work on W.E. 

Gorgeous work—Phillips had better get an Oscar nomination for this. Remember when Evita failed to get a nod in spite of its dizzying array of unbelievable frocks?

The photos remind me of Madonna's work with Mario Testino for Evita, which is coincidentally sampled in the same issue as part of a feature on master works by celebrity portraitists. It's also reminiscent of Madonna's "manor" shoot by Tim Walker for Vogue in 2005.

More great clothes after the jump. all hi-res...

Taylor Lautner strips down for Mario Testino in GQ. When I do it, I'm a dirty old man, when Mario Testino does it, it's art. In the article, Lautner continues to stress that his massive build-up to play Jacob Black in the rest of The Twilight Saga after playing him in Twilight was all-natural—he wolfed down cold meat from bags every two hours.
