Fergie’s Photo Shoot for Allure Magazine

by Lynn on December 1st, 2007

Fergie is on the December 2007 issue of Allure Magazine and has a very cool feature in the issue as well, Here’s what Allure’s web site has about the photo shoot for the issue, but be sure to pick up Allure Magazine this month to get the whole story!

Fergie has been a Wild Orchid, a Black Eyed Pea, and most recently, hip-hop royalty—”the Dutchess.” In person, Stacy Ann Ferguson is more demure than her risqué stage persona would suggest. It turns out the girl with the “lovely lady lumps” is laid-back and very modest. View exclusive outtakes from her shoot with Michael Thompson in New York City. For more photos and the story, “Behold, the Duchess,” pick up the December issue of Allure.

“The lyrics to “My Humps,” which she describes as “a little bit racy,” made Fergie nervous at first. Although she considers herself a flirt, she’s quick to point out her dedication to her boyfriend, actor Josh Duhamel. “I’m a very sensual person…and I love being with one man. My man.”

Singer, actress, model—Fergie knows how to multi-task. Although she had already put in a full day shooting for M.A.C. cosmetics, she was ready to go when the Allure team showed up at the studio around 5 P.M. As hairstylist Serge Norman worked on her hair, she watched a sample of the proposed concept for her new video, “Clumsy.”

Normant styled Fergie’s hair with a windswept, sexy look. He applied a volumizer to her roots, blow-dried her hair with a round brush, curled sections using a hot iron, and topped it off with a dab of shine serum.

Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury chose soft, warm makeup for Fergie. She applied rose cream blush and a dusting of bronzer, then smoothed on a brown cream eye shadow, added a swipe of mascara, and pink lip gloss.

Unlike many celebrities, Fergie is refreshingly honest about how much work it takes to get that body. She exercises daily, orders most of her food from Diet Designs, a food delivery service in Los Angeles, and is thinking of adding pole dancing to her repertoire. “It’s a really good workout,” she says.

Fergie hasn’t always been so polished. After the breakup of her first band, Wild Orchid, she became addicted to crystal meth. She recovered after attending therapy and joining Narcotic Anonymous, which is why she has an enormous amount of sympathy for celebrities in a similar predicament. “I know we live in a voyeuristic world right now, but—how are you supposed to get better when people are constantly leaking stories about you in rehab?”

Fergie is a bona fide fashion risk-taker—as well as a regular target of snarky what-were-you-thinking fashion blogs—but she isn’t overly concerned with the criticism. “I’ve never had a problem with doing something first, even if it might not look the best. Sometimes, I look back and say, ‘That was a horrible choice.’ But at the time it felt good. I would be too bored with life being safe all the time.”
