Hold the front pages: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes get Forties makeover and separate front covers for style mag

With such high profiles nowadays it appears Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are both now too big to appear on the same front cover.
The couple have such star appeal that they have each been given the full-on Forties glamour treatment  - and their own individual covers for  T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

They've got it covered: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise  appear on the T: The New York Times Style Magazine to promote the actor's new film Valkyrie

This week's Reinvention issue shows Katie with curled hair and elegant gowns - evoking Hollywood's ultimate heroines such as  Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner and Veronica Lake.
With his upturned collar and his side-parted slicked hair, Tom looks every bit the war-time hero.
The Forties fashion spread has been selected to promote his latest film Valkyrie in which he plays German aristocrat Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg who led a plot to blow up Adolf Hitler in 1944.
The movie, directed by Usual Suspects writer Bryan Singer, has been created to showcase Cruise's acting talents and hopefully revive his career which has gone off course in recent years.

In the accompanying interviews, the couple open up about the dynamics of their high-profile relationship.
Katie tells the publication: "There's a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn't have any control of her life.
'And that's pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I've made choices in my life that have been very strong. '
For his part, Tom reminisces about their early romance and admits he bought Katie an engagement ring shortly after their first date in 2005.
'I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her,' he says.
'After our very first date, I was sure. At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I cut her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her.'
