Demi Moore graces the December 2009 cover of W Magazine in a striking Balmain leather and metal mesh dress that exemplifies haute couture mastery. The design’s bold aesthetic and impeccable construction showcase Moore’s fearless approach to fashion and enduring appeal. The accompanying editorial presents a compelling portrait of the actress at a pivotal moment in her career. Below are the interview highlights:
On being married to a younger man: “I`m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl. . . I don`t know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, ‘There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?”
On being labeled a cougar: “I`d prefer to be called a puma. . . [I] Twittered it out. People wrote back hilarious stuff, saying, ‘I`m going to get T-shirts that say PUMA POWER.'”
On meeting Ashton six years ago: “The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time you`ve had to actually be with one another. Now we`ve had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible.” Full cover story on WMagazine.com!
