Chloë Moretz: ASOS Magazine Photoshoot


You may remember her as the foul-mouthed, purple-wigged, 10 year old, anti-heroine from Kick Ass, the alternative take on super hero movies, or indeed as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's younger sister and love guru in 500  Days of Summer.
But Moretz is slowly marking her territory as a developing actress (she is currently pairing up with Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer in Dark Shadows) and as a potential style crush for many. As well as featuring on, über cool, LOVE magazine's amazingly innovative virtual advent calendar for December the first (there's a new celebrity each day of the Christmas month), she also starred in her first main style photoshoot for none other, but, ASOS.


The ASOS magazine's January 2012 shoot perfectly captures it's cover girl's youth. It is set in a carnival with innocent, preteen-esque details, such as braided hair, adorned with streaks of vibrant colour and the choice of trainers with cutesy and appropriate dresses. Moretz poses playfully, whether it be blowing a bubble with her gum or with a stuffed animal won at a fairground game. The clothes are wonderful suited to the model and the theme of "forever young".

Moretz also mused that the clothes from the shoot reminds her of photos of girls on her favourite website, Tumblr (I have to agree with that one), who devote their time and money to buying clothes purely for the sake of having their photo, of themwearing these garments, making it's rounds of the website. The Unofficial Moretz Dictionary terms this as a "Tumblrina".
"I'm on Tumblr all day, they always have pictures of Converse shoes with a platform on them. I found a website where you can buy them but I stopped myself because like, where would I wear them?" she says.

  5. Apart from the fact that the pictures are wonderful, she is a very good actor, for such a young age. Maybe you watched "Let Me In"? She played very well there. She can be one of the best actresses in the future.

    I don't know whether I wrote correctly, but I hope you understand... My English sucks -.-
