Finally.

So I lived through Twiggy and The Shrimp. Survived acres of flatness comparable to Iowa’s fields of wheat. And I hated every minute of it.

And Shape is rarely better personified than in the guise of Emily Blunt, photographed by Michael Roberts. Her direct gaze and strong features match the exotic dress perfectly.

Barry Lyndon, anyone?
