Behind the Cover: Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake

ELLE is taking on L-O-V-E this month, casting on-screen Friends With Benefits Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in a portfolio inspired by a sexy, seemingly candid 1963 LIFE magazine photo essay featuring Hollywood legend Steve McQueen and his then wife, actress Neile Adams, at their Palm Springs bungalow. On an April morning in Los Angeles, Kunis, whose turn in last year’s Black Swan earned her a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actress, and her Grammy-winning costar arrived separately on set—a midcentury home in the Hollywood Hills boasting panoramic views of the sprawling valley and mountainous landscape. With Arcade Fire on the iPod, Kunis and Timberlake surrendered their Starbucks, slipped into wardrobe, and got busy playing house. Photographer Carter Smith captured Kunis wearing Tom Ford, Gucci, and Ralph Lauren Black Label and Timberlake sporting Lanvin and Jil Sander in photos that ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee called «cinematic and cool». A brave Kunis effortlessly stirred marinara sauce in a silk tulle Chanel dress and then cozied up with Timberlake, who sipped coffee in a Viktor & Rolf suit. Later, Timberlake, always the dashing showman, serenaded Kunis while she lounged in a muslin Chanel jumpsuit. When it was time to break for lunch, L.A’.s M Café provided the spread—sushi rolls, salmon wraps, soba noodles—and Timberlake entertained, bewitching the crew with his Saturday Night Live–worthy impersonations. Come July 22, this Ukrainian-born actress and southern Renaissance man will be giving «friends with benefits» a whole new meaning.
