Let's talk about...

Salma Hayek photographed by Matthew Rolston for The New York Times Magazine. The images are hauntingly gorgeous.

Elizabeth I, clearly, but this notion of concealed identities—a Mexican-American woman outfitted to look European—reminds me more of the one and only traditional portrait of Pocahontas (artist unknown, 1616.)

And I would say Mme. Antoinette, but it's a little too vampy, more debauched courtier than anything. I like that.
