Sex sells, and it certainly gets attention but is it becoming more difficult to tell when sexiness is inappropriate?
In the latest of sexy images, Jennifer Aniston posed nude for the cover of GQ magazine, wearing only a strategically placed tie. This image arrives in the midst of a well-publicized war of words between Aniston, ex-husband Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.
Yet Aniston is on the cover of GQ magazine to promote a family-oriented comedy Marley & Me.
Will Aniston’s publicity, both her nudity and her personal life, be beneficial for the movie, or will it detract from it by distracting audiences from the film?
A previous example of the personal lives of stars overshadowing their projects was Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s engagement and Cruise’s negative publicity over his Oprah couching. Holmes was dropped from subsequent Batman sequels and was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
In another example of attention-garnering sexiness was Jennifer Lopez at the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Lopez showed up in an ultra-sexy, revealing dress that showed off her cleavage and toned body.
Some critics deemed it inappropriate, as it drew too much attention to her, and drew attention away from the event she was attending.
Was it disrespectful? Too desperate for attention?
Fashion is about demonstrating a mastery of social codes and more. Over or underdressing is considered a faux pas. But has the line of sexiness blurred to the point of confusion?
What do you think?
