Very in-demand were Amanda Seyfried and Rihanna, getting two covers each. I have to say that I love Rihanna's Rolling Stone cover more than her Vogue one. The former just seems to suit her more. Everyone seems to think Amanda looks best in Prada as she is wearing just that in both her covers this month. She looks perfect in both covers and she even seems to be working the same pose. If it ain't broke why fix it?
A bunch of these magazines, I don't really care much about like GQ, Men's Journal and Women's Health, but when they have people like Alessandra Ambrosio, my ultimate VS girl crush, Daisy Lowe, my once favorite It-Girl, Emma Roberts, my idol when I was 13 and still such a style icon, Jake Gyllenhaal, who starred in one of my favorite movies (Brokeback Mountain), they manage to catch my attention. Daisy's is probably my favorite of the three, because she looks so sexy even without her whole body being shown.
Dolce and Gabbana S/S seems to be another popular choice as it is seen in two Vogue covers this month, one for China and the other for Paris. The Paris cover is Gisele in a Dolce and Gabbana dress. This dress is actually the most used dress this month because it appears in three, yes three, Vogue covers, Espana, Germany & Paris. Interestingly enough, this is also Emmanuelle Alt's first cover for Vogue Paris. You'd think she'd want to make it a big one, but instead she chose a dress that everyone's using. In her defense, this dress epitomizes Spring. My favorite cover this whole month has to be another one that uses this dress. It is Vogue Germany. The vibrant blue and the beautiful sea just draws me to it, and isn't that the purpose of a magazine cover?
I love when models are on the covers of magazines. Vogue Nippon has the still stunning Kate Moss on their cover. I am always bothered by the amount of text in these Asian magazines, but I guess they have more characters in their writing and we can't change that. Another model on the cover this month is Abbey Lee for Vogue Russia. This cover is so-so, as I love Abbey, but I am bored with this picture.
Celebrities in magazine covers always sell. Mia Wasikowska is on the cover of Black Book looking fantastic. She is promoting her movie, Jane Eyre, which I am so excited to see. Robert Pattinson is also on the cover of Vanity Fair promoting Twilight maybe? I used to dislike Rob for his Twilight role, but I started to love him when he expressed his disdain for the franchise of which he is the leading man. Another celebrity here is Scarlett Johansson for Vogue China. She looks super sexy in another Dolce dress. Nothing much to say as ScarJo looks amazing all the time. Then there are the singers, Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears, on the covers of Elle and Out Magazine respectively. I'm so excited to see Brit in magazines as I have an undying devotion for her.
Last and certainly not the least is that one person you're dying to see on a magazine cover, but thought you never would- she, herself, who makes amazing magazine covers possible- now on the cover of this month's Wall Street Journal. So, this isn't Anna's (yes, first name basis) first and only cover, but it's one of the very very rare few (If I'm not mistaken she's only ever been on the cover of one other magazine). It is so regal looking. Her profile makes her look like a Queen on a coin. A queen she is to us fashionphiles. Thank you, Mrs Anna, for the present that is your presence on a magazine cover on my birthday month.
It's going to be a good month, guys! Happy 18th to me! :)
