JESSICA BIEL: Her Allure Photo Shoot in Allure Magazine

JESSICA BIEL: Her Allure Photo Shoot in Allure Magazine. For her cover shoot with Michael Thompson in Long Beach, California, actress Jessica Biel wasn't even slightly fazed by posing on a four-story platform in an electrical plant. What actually fazes her? Being typecast by directors and followed by paparazzi. See the exclusive outtakes from the shoot here, and for more photos and the profile "Body of Work," pick up the June issue of Allure, on newsstands May 26.

In an effort to keep Hollywood focused on her acting ability, Biel made sure that some of her early film contracts had a no-nudity clause—which meant that she got to choose a body double for love scenes. "I tried to get breasts that I thought were similar to mine," she says. "But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? OK, I did want that."

Since meeting Timberlake two years ago, Biel's private life has become very public. "It's wonderful to do what I do, but everything that goes with it? It's bizarre," says the actress. "The invasion of privacy is very tough. I am followed all day, every day. Going to the dentist, the cleaners. I guess I could look like shit going to the dentist, but only if I didn't care what I saw in the papers." Here (with photographer Michael Thompson), the actress wears an embroidered silk shantung dress by Louis Vuitton.

"I wanted to create a rich, sun-kissed face for Jessica," said makeup artist Stéphane Marais. To that end, he rubbed bronzer on her temples, nose, and chin and peach blush on her cheeks; rimmed her eyes with brown liner; and added shimmery taupe and gold shadows. The final touch: sheer coral lipstick.

When Biel studied the racks of clothes at the shoot, she zeroed in on a jacket by Louis Vuitton. "I'm wearing a new Eres bra that would look great under this," she told Allure creative director Paul Cavaco (right), who had brought lingerie from the same line. (Yes, Biel is wearing her own bra in this photo.)

Biel showed up dressed head-to-toe in William Rast—boyfriend Justin Timberlake's clothing line—including a pair of fringed angle boots. "These are the exact ones they had at the show in New York," she said. "They sent me a pair the models wore, because they hadn't been produced yet, but I loved them so much." Here, the actress wears a jumpsuit by Derek Lam with earrings, belt, and a bracelet by Louis Vuitton; brass and Lucite bangles by Alexis Bittar; and a glass bangle by Hilary London.
