Winona Ryder and designer Marc Jacobs may be the best of friends in life, but you’d never know it from their latest pairing — recreating the emotionally volatile couple Martha and George from the Mike Nichols film adaptation of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. The veteran actress appears in the March issue Harper’s Bazaar in the role made famous by Elizabeth Taylor, threateningly hoisting a tumbler at her husband George, played by a meek oxford-clad Jacobs. Ryder admits, “It was actually difficult to yell at Marc because all I could think of to yell was how much I love him.” The compelling spread also includes a reimagination of the classic film The Graduate, in which fashion guru and CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg is pictured alongside up-and-coming designer Prabal Gurung. In a decidedly more vulnerable position—and far more scantily clad!—than we’re used to seeing her, the alpha female romances the fashion wunderkind. “I love Prabal. It was so easy to seduce him,” she says cheekily. And Gurung isn’t complaining: “I got to see Diane undressing. What more could I ask for?” To see the rest of Mark Seliger’s photos recreating Mike Nichols’ most iconic screen moments, go to harpersbazaar.com/mikenichols or pick up the March issue, featuring Kim Kardashian, on stands February 22.—Justine Harman
