Unless Angelina Jolie has a not-quite-identical "look-alike" who was sent to pose for the latest Vanity Fair cover, I'd say the person responsible for the digital retouching of the photo has gone mad. Or severely myopic. Or both.
Be it as it may, that person obviously doesn't like Angelina's natural nose: shortish (like her father's), a bit stumpy - and cute as a button. A nose that makes her eyes and her lips look even bigger than they are - and also as sensuous as they look. It may not be a "perfect" nose by certain standards, but it is an unobtrusive nose that helped make her face an icon of sexiness because it doesn't stand in the way of her eyes and her mouth. It doesn't assert itself, if you will. And it certainly isn't a "refined" nose.
Which is perfectly fine, because Angelina's beauty is supposed to be unconventional, if it is to reflect her Sturm-und-Drang-turned-Mother-Earth-placidity public persona.
Which is exactly why the unnatural nose she features on the Vanity Fair cover is so off.
It's about a third longer than Angelina's natural nose, with an uncharacteristically thin tip (I suppose "refined" is exactly the adjective the artist was after), while the also thinned bridge is even slightly crooked.
Unless, of course, Angelina did send a look-alike to the photo shoot and forgot to tell.
In which case it makes sense that the lady's nose grew long...
