A FEAST FOR THE EYES

Mirror mirror on the wall: Who’s the fairest of them all? It s a tough call, with Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, the stars of **Tarsem Singh’**s aptly titled Mirror Mirror facing off against Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart in **Rupert Sanders’**s Snow White and the Huntsman (out this June). To add to this tale of dueling Brothers Grimm, Hollywood has a whole storybook full of reimagined fairy tales, fables, and the like set for release soon—from Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and Jack the Giant Killer to Oz: The Great and Powerful to Maleficent. But if you’re looking for true flights of fashion whimsy, search no further than the pages of Vogue. From Belle (Drew Barrymore) gazing into a magical looking glass in Annie Leibovitz’s take on Beauty and the Beast to Lady Gaga playing _Hansel and Gretel’_s wicked witch in a face-obscuring wig created by Julien D’Ys, a trip through our archives is nothing short of fantastical.
