Julianne Moore Covers New York Times Style Magazine

Julianne Moore looks stunning in dramatic makeup on the cover of Sunday’s T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

The 49-year-old actress modeled clothing from Donna Karan, Comme Des Garcons and Rodarte for her high fashion spread.

“I always find that aspect of a character important,” Julianne said of choosing clothing in a production. “But, you can’t say, ‘Ooh — I like that Balenciaga dress and I’m going to wear it.’ You have to wear something that the character has access to.”

“People tell stories about themselves with their clothing, their hair, with the way they move and the way they present themselves,” she continued. “I learned that when I was young. I was always on the lookout for clues. And there are a lot of clues in how people dress.”
