MANILA, Philippines - Bulgari has chosen Julianne Moore to represent the style and personality of the Bulgari woman. It is a choice inspired by her timeless charisma and her place not only in cinema where she has done 48 films and merited four Oscar nominations.
She is a woman of magnetism, confident and daring, never conventional yet at the same time, a connoisseur of refined beauty. Moore’s extraordinary combination of pre-Raphaelite splendor, sharp intelligence, and contemporary charisma was captured for the occasion by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, who chose a setting with an Oriental flavor.
Opulent and richly colored as an exotic boudoir, furnished with sumptuous pillows, plush brocades, purple satin, and peacock feathers, this is the frame that transforms Moore’s unique beauty into a contemporary odalisque — mysterious, luminous and sophisticated. The utterly unexpected presence of exotic animals underscores her irresistible eccentricity and a temperament that defies all preconceptions.
The featured item in the “Eccentric Charisma” campaign is the Chandra bag, seen in the nuances of chestnut and Prussian blue. Already an icon of contemporary luxury and style, chosen by numerous divas of the international jet set, its name means “moon” in Sanskrit. And just like that nocturnal orb, its sinuously rounded forms evoke a radiant and magnetic femininity.
Stylist Julia von Boehm selected a splendid timepiece and some of Bulgari’s most iconic jewels for Moore’s photo shoot, including a spectacular pair of Haute Joaillerie earrings mounted with two large teardrop emeralds of the rarest green in a setting of baguette-cut diamonds. The actress also wears jewels from the new Serpenti collection, among which is a bracelet in yellow gold with white mother-of-pearl inserts alternated with brilliant-cut diamonds, inspired by the magic and mystery of a creature that has always been an emblem of wisdom, vitality, and eternity.
