Jessica Alba Is a “Knockout” in Tatler Magazine
May 11, 2010 in Jessica Alba by Versus
Jessica Alba looks fabulous in Tatler Magazine this month, where she’s posing outdoors in lots of girly, feminine outfits under the “She’s a Knockout!” headline.
How are you liking this ponytail hairstyle on Jessica? And do you agree that this beauty has the potential to become Hollywood’s hottest heroine (after Angelina), as the magazine claims?
See the rest of this shoot after the jump!
the second last photo is the best
wonderful!
She is so pretty here. I love everything!
I think she`s the only famous actress im actually jelous of!!:) She looks so good..although a bit asian ..due to her tight ponytail?hehe im kidding..probably her multicultural heritage as well and make up. Love her baby blue dress…!
Doesn’t look Asian at all to me (I’m half Asian). Though maybe the eyeliner can give a feeling the eyes are shaped a bit differently.
her eyes just aren’t all the way open, but i agree, not asian.
I guess the fact that she’s squinting can make them look like the super stereotypical Asian eyes.
Classy comment, Ella.
I thought she looked a little asian in the second last photo (i’m also half asian)
so what if she looks a bit asian? is that bad? lol I wish I looked asian
She looks amazing in these photos and I love the ponytail. The make-up and outfits look great too.
Really pretty pictures. The hottest heroine, i think not. She has that little something that keeps people interested, she’s constantly pictured by the paps, but i almost think of her as a socialite more than an actress. As an actress, she’s boring to me.
Too much photoshop. Just like her other session uhm can’t remember which magazine.. but they made her waist a hella lot smaller.Same here. Never really liked her to be honest, not a real good actress, looks are average and she gets photoshopped as hell, has no spine to say otherwise. She’s the kind of person you’d get scared of if you saw her in real life.
I saw her at geisha house before (on a saturday night, where was her child you may ask?) but she is actually super pretty in real life. To where I would look at her even if she wasn’t famous.
She is attractive and pretty no doubt. And she has the most facial symmetry I have ever seen but I doubt she willl be the next herione b/c her beauty boring and commmerical; very cookie cutter. For some one to go from attractive and pretty to gorgoeus you have to have a unique feature or something a litttle off, For example angelina is considered gorgoeus not just pretty b/c of her huge lips.Lenny kravitz( goregous *sigh*) and wife also gorgeous had a daughter who was plain pretty just like alba. No stand out feature and no character the face. I think this mag used pictures that are old as well, like fromk last year. b/c i saw these pictures last year.
In candids, Alba looks past her prime, there is always something alittle off about her overall appearnce. And not in a good way. whether it be dress or facial expression, etc. I think she be out of her groove for a long time nowas well as out the spot light.
**aha, Ok remember on ANTM last week? on season 14, episode 9? Jessica got kicked out his week b/c she was pretty yes just very commerical. No edge for high concept except for her doe eyes( her one and only stand out feature)and even then no passsion was evoked.
if she;s boring then…how about you? god

“if she;s boring then…how about you? God”
O.o Wow way to make it personal. …” god”. If you disagreed with my comment why didn’t you just say so??
Clearly you did not read my comment because no wear in my comment did I say she is “boring”.
Since you did not specify, I assuming you’re not referring to me, personality wise because you don’t know me and if you are, well that would just be a fairly uneducated statement.
So from the aspect of my physical attractiveness, I would actually describe myself composed of unusual and unique features. So I guess yes I do not consider myself boring. By the way, you failed to correct your grammar before you pressed enter

TO CLARIFY
I stated a subjective opinion and used examples to help illustrate and give reason to my thoughts, which clearly you fail to have read and/ or did not understand. Facial beauty and physical attractiveness can be measured or examined to extent on objective scientific principles, which I referred to. For example: facial symmetry and golden mask ratio being one of the factors.

^ go to evidence –> Beauty ranges
I analyzed her beauty based on a scientific and sociological level. I examined her based on aesthetics and the basic principle I was addressing is that she is “pretty” because she has an averageness to her face. However she is not “gorgeous” because she lacks a certain character or uniqueness in her face.
If you’re entire facial features and structure is average, what makes you have a superior beauty than anyone else? The word ‘pretty’ and ‘gorgeous’ are not synonymous, they are two different words and both not negative in any sense. I think is pretty not gorgeous based on the reasoning I just explained previously.
Clearly my statement is not to out of place because several people above and below share my opinion.
When you’re ready to not to make a fallacious ad hominem attack and non-ignorant remarks, I’m sure we can have proper discourse without being rude.
you’re really pretty! you have such nice lips (not in weird way lol)

*ps* ok I did say boring but my point still stands:p
i read both your comments and i think you are perfectly right. first of all, beauty is a very subjective, personal matter. i know lots of girls who i consider beautiful and my best friend says just: “well, they are ok…” so we cannot all agree upon beauty standards..but i do agree with you, FREEDOM, cause i feel the same way. JESS ALBA is a BEAUTIFUL woman, nice, pretty, with perfect features, but NOT GORGEOUS, because she lacks that special feature to take her out from the crowd. her beauty is just common, nothing outrageously sexy, eye-catching. her features are so perfect, that they get us bored. sometimes, the small imperfections are the ones which transform a pretty woman in a gorgeous one.
THANK YOU Gabrielle
You said my point way better than me! Thats what I was trying to say, but you articulate it better:)
i dont know about her…she has all the right pieces, and put together she is very pretty and cute. But, I don’t consider her beautiful or a “knockout”…to me a knockout is someone who oozes sex appeal, like Angelina Jolie. I guess it goes back to the point that somebody made earlier, that Jessica’s beauty is very generic…
Absolutely superpretty.
very pretty and the pictures/styling are lovely, but there is something about her that is just so overrated to me. she’s so irrelevant, i don’t even know what work she has done recently but because guys think she is a ‘knockout’ she’ll always get lots of good press.
plus her eyes are squinty/closed in 2 of the pictures, it doesn’t look right.
I actually think she’s a lot hotter than Angelina! Angelina looks old, tired, veiny, pale, and scary skinny half of the time. I do not think she oozes sex appeal. Jessica is a knockout indeed!
Maybe true…. the only thing that would hold her back is that she doesn’t have ANgelina’s acting chops. I though Angelina looked too skinny and sick in “wanted” but she still almost gave me a heart attack from her badass-ness.
I think she looks pretty, but in most of these pictures you can’t even see her eyes. A bit like a mannequin.
I think you can till be plain-beautiful. Monica Bellucci and Salma Hayek are both gorgeous women who don’t have huge lips or anything. Grace Kelly also had a refined, though unexotic, beauty. Jessica Alba’s features aren’t really striking or strong, but she isn’t just ‘pretty’. She is gorgeous.
I would say a Blake Lively is pretty…but not beautiful.
You make “pretty”(lol) good points in contrast to my arguements. I can see where your coiming from but I would agrue the ppl you mentioned still have stricking features.
like grace kelly for example had large slighlty downturned eyes, a strong jaw line and a wide base cartilicous nose. All these
features took her from just pretty to gorgeous. The same agruement can be said can be said for monica and salema. The features don’t have to go to unhuman lenghts to be gorgeous, just need that “striking or unique feature”.
Granted yes this feaure is hard to define or quantify.
I guess it all comes down to a matter of opinion.I agree,Blake lively is a perfect example of a pretty girl.
*edit* I now see what you mean by ppl can plain-beautiful, I just looked up monica, which is a pretty good example:)
gorgeous pics!
She is gorgeous, way hotter than Angelina is looking these days. BUT Angelina is a better actress, she has done all kinds of stuff, and she has proven to be a good action heroine, she has an edge, while Jessica is pretty boring…so no, I don’t see her as the next hottest heroine. Jessica is only 6 years younger than Angelina and she still hasn’t done anything “big”…can’t even name a movie with her as the main character…
I love the yellow dress, I want it. Carey Mulligan has also wore it and looked perfection in it.
She looks really masculine on the cover. I find her to be quite beautiful, but when she’s not smiling, she looks masculine and angry. She has a sweet smile and I think it would have gone better with the outfits because they’re very girlie.
very pretty
I’m glad you agree that she is “pretty” ^_^
I like jessica. She’s always so pretty. But I’m not digging the high ponytail.
I LOVE it ! And i gotta say, Photoshop can’t make anyone look this gorgeous.
She is really close to my definition of perfection
She is perfection, body, face, lips, everything…i’m so tired of that phaties like B or Riri and super skinny girls, her body is an example how body should be shaped….and she still looks 20-25
she’s obviously gorgeous, sexy, and just plain good looking. i don’t think she’s a terrific actress though. angelina’s a great actress.
She’s ugly, horrible acting skills and plain and annoying as hell!
she looks like JLo in some of the pics
She’s sooo pretty but I’ve never really seen her in any GOOD movies like Angelina Jolie…only mediocre or bad ones like Fantastic Four etc
most beautiful – YeaH
the sexiest – YeaH
the hottest mom – YeaH
great actress – um…..maybe in future?
she’s so pretty!! I love her skin tone!
hottest heroine ? mhh in the “dark angel era” yes, she was too beautiful but today not so much …dont get me wrong she is still hot and beautiful but she lost a little bit…
ps: i love that she looks often angry and pissed in her privat time ^^ better as fake smilling and allways happy.
She is gorgeous and really don t need photoshop
Loved her since Dark Angel (she looks just as young now as she did then). She’s gorgeous, and a better actress than people give her credit for. Her turns in Awake, The Eye, Meet Bill, and recently Valentine’s Day were prefectly fine (even Ebert praised Awake). I’d like to see The Killer Inside Of Me and Machete when it comes out though I’m not sure about the violent aspects.
She’s one of the few celebrities nowadays who looks more beautiful in candids than on the red carpet. I know levels of attractiveness are in the eye of the beholder but to me she has an interesting quality that I don’t get bored of watching – I think it’s the slight ‘tude.
So I’d actually agree with the cover: yes, she is a knockout, definitely moreso when you take off the media spun UBERBABE-coloured glasses (don’t care much for the Angelina comparison, they don’t seem the same AT ALL, so that comes across as someone’s attempt to sell an article). Jessica’s also a hard worker; that, her looks, AND her appeal are likely why she continues to get work.
I love her skin tone! Oh really She is very gorgeous.i like wipasa basu .she is very sexy heroin.
