Jennifer Connelly’s Fall 2009 Balenciaga campaign is out! But it looks a tad awkward. While Connelly is definitely rocking some hot ensembles, the images show her posed in haphazard positions that any normal person wearing Balenciaga probably wouldn’t do.
For instance, Jennifer Connelly seems to float half-off of a chair with knees sticking ungainly in the air in one image. A chaise lounge and chair see her in the same position. Another picture shows her on a brocade arm chair with one leg extended and the other crossed over it--flamingo-style.
And finally (this one is definitely worthy of note), a velvet chair gets pushed back by Jennifer Connelly’s right knee while a mahogany end table gets friendly with her, uh, front side.
