Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz created this gorgeous spread for Vogue US called 'Love of a Lifetime.'
The theme of the spread is Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy about two young lovers whose deaths unite their feuding families.
In spite of being dark and tragic, Love of a Lifetime is a beautiful collection of images whose ultimate message glamorizes and beautifies Shakespeare’s tragic story.
I have to ask though, is Romeo naked from the waist down on the last image, or is he just wearing really, really snug ballet tights?
