Jessica Alba Feature

Jessica Alba is the clear centrepiece of this issue. Her cover image uses a beach/swimwear theme, while the interior photography continues this look with full-page and double-page photographs in a tropical coastal setting. The feature combines glamour photography with accompanying editorial text and is one of the strongest collector attractions of this particular issue.

Keira Knightley Feature

The photographed Keira Knightley section is titled “The Domino Effect” and presents her in a more editorial celebrity-interview style. It includes a large studio portrait and discussion relating to her film work around the time of Domino, giving the magazine additional appeal beyond its main Jessica Alba feature.
