Well, I think the fact that nobody has commented on it even though it was posted almost an hour says it all, lol.

I find this banal and obnoxious, almost to the point of being obscene. I guess they were going for the 'raw beauty' type look, but it came out really egoistical. It's strange to say this about a magazine cover, because like, it's not that serious, but for some reason I just really dislike it.

^ It's positively refined compared to her last cover:

Boring and snoozeworthy, just like the cover girl.

I love Julia, but nt on this

[Psylocke]

Such a generic image. This could be the cover of InStyle or any other magazine out there, it's that boring and plain. And the two-toned, semi-italic font does nothing for me. Julia looks nice, though.

love her, she looks amazingggggg in both covers: fresh, inviting, kind & warm and simple. The coverlines aren't distracting and the colors used on her also compliment with the background: good job

[CharlottefromCA]

well like it or not she is a woman of charisma, and its not a very fashion-ish image, but people will def open up the magazine to see what she has to say.

So boring cover imagine shot Michael Thompson or Patrick Demarchelier

[chanelh]

Interesting because i like, and think this cover is much more fun than the new one. At least she looks engaged, and lively in that one, instead of just being there.

In Vanity Fair’s April 2012 cover story, Oscar winner and Mirror, Mirror actress Julia Roberts tells contributing editor Sam Kashner how Meryl Streep’s daughter gave her precious insight into raising kids as a famous mom. According to Roberts, her children have yet to understand what it means that their mother is a celebrity—but she talked to Grace Gummer about her own realization. “Grace comes up and goes, ‘Gosh, it’s so sweet seeing all your kids on the set. It reminds me of when I was little, and I would go see my mom at work.’ I asked, ‘Were you happy?’ Suddenly, I thought, here is a source of information,” Roberts says. “I said, ‘How old were you when you realized your mom was Meryl Streep?’ She said, ‘I think I was probably nine when I put that all together.’ I said, ‘Were you cool with it?’ She said, ‘Yeah, it was fine. There was no trauma.’ So that was hopeful.”

Roberts recalls a time “on a crowded street, and somebody noticed me, and then another person noticed. Somebody said as we were walking past, ‘Oh, that’s Julia Roberts.’ We all just kind of kept going, and then Finn said, ‘Yeah, my mom’s Julia Robinson.’ That’s what gives you perspective. It could be Robinson, it could be Johnson, because it has nothing to do with me as a person.”

Roberts tells Kashner that there had been “a time when I was encouraged—as all young actresses are—you know, ‘You’ve got to keep going; you’ve got to get out there.’” Unfortunately for them, Roberts says, young actors nowadays don’t have the benefit of the same kind of experience that she had when just starting out: “The business is so different; you can never be that new girl that has that moment of ‘Where’d she come from?’” she says. “There’s the express elevator and there’s rehab. It’s so awful; nobody gets a fair trial-and-error period that everybody deserves and everybody needs.”

Pretty anti-climactic cover

Julia? I thought she was finished in Hollywood. She's as mundane as Jen Aniston. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
