[Manuva]

What a run of great covers i-D is having!
Cate's the only actress I like seeing on the cover of a fashion magazine.

[mikel]

WOW, it's great, but it looks to airbrushed for Matthias' work. But still great that he shot the cover.

[testinofan]

[Jeisa_]

She looks like Madonna there

[MulletProof]

Beautiful.. what a way to wrap up the year.

[Miss Dalloway]

WOW as much as i love Cate,and this is a Brilliant cover,i am just over her.She is on all the covers,its to much.

[seanutbutter]

The white stripe in the background looks a bit off to me. I think the cover would look nicer without it, but overall it's a fitting way to end the year.

Am I alone when I say the person on this cover this does not look like Cate Blanchett, though? I'm serious!

[Jeisa_]

like I said..she's Madonna
