So, is there really a Marcos who's not fond of shoes? Ilocos Norte Governor Maria Imelda Josefa "Imee" Marcos poses for the cover of the October 2015 cover of society magazine Philippine Tatler, wearing a very red terno gown -- and barefooted. The striking magazine photo is a complete turnaround from the image of her mother, former First Lady and currently Ilocos Norte 2nd District Rep. Imelda Marcos -- who, at one point in her life might have owned about 3,000 pair of shoes. Imee Marcos on Philippine Tatler cover The magazine cover also reveals her true age, which is 60 years old.

Nicole Kidman goes topless on the cover of the fall issue of the V Magazine, wearing only black stilettos and a very kinky rear-baring skirt. The "cheeky" cover photo is styled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele, and inside with interviews on her upcoming film, 'The Paperboy', in which she co-stars with Zac Efron (there was a scene where she urinated on the male actor).   Photos inside. Kidman said, "I don't really make decisions, I go with the flow. If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career. But I would be more outlandish if I could. A lot of times you just don't get the chance." Kidman has been married twice: first to actor Tom Cruise, and now to country singer Keith Urban. She has an adopted son and daughter with Cruise as well as two biological daughters with Urban. Photos courtesy of V Magazine.
