MadMag: Amy Adams for W

We all know that Amy Adams is an extremely talented actress, but style-wise her potential is still largely unrealized (note some of her red carpet ensembles as of late).

Her recent W Magazine shoot is pretty amazing: it taps into her retro look but strips away the goody two-shoes image, leaving a turbulent yet vulnerable character that recalls both Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe circa The Misfits.
