W February 2008 : Keira Knightley and James McAvoy by Steven Klein

[meowmix]

she looks like one of the dead pirates from her pirates films.

I like Keira but she looks exactly like a dead goldfish on the cover.

[iluvjeisa]

^Thanks for putting words on her look. Dead goldfish. Yes. Not just there, almost always, really.

[cette fille]

what is it with american publications using the same celebrities over & over & over again...?

seriously. i dont get it.

[adorefaith]

i cant believe that chanel disaster ! come on . . it's like a bad joke

as for keira . . i know i shouldnt say anything if i dont have anything nice to say . .
but i cant help myself ! she always looks so self conscious in photographs ..
and the minute she opens her mouth she sounds so arrogant . . ugh

disappointing . .

[fouroclock]

When I saw the cover, I saw what looks like an inexperienced heroin chic model that gets hundreds of replies in this site.

Also James McAvoy is my husband. Therefore, Y'all B. Hatinz.

Anyway, they're really milking that movie.

No one has this yet?

Yeah, he looks very uncomfortable...like he doesn't know what to do with himself

James has a weird expression on his face in the entire shoot.

I've been away for a while. Left the whole wide world behind. Today, I clicked on this thread as the first one to read, and what do I find? Yet another lacklustre cover from W, and Lily Cole styled to look like a cross between Chucky and a plastic mannequin.

And is W going to start pulling the same 'let's sell more copies trick' of putting out two different covers every month? If the articles are to be believed, and the era of celebrity covers is coming to a close, is this what we have to look forward to as its replacement?

[cestmagique]

Well, here's an accessories edit called 'Enchanted' while we wait.



Enlargements on the type in the last two photos:

And is W going to start pulling the same 'let's sell more copies trick'

that would be good if it works because i think W is not selling that much......

HAHAHA

First of all welcome back Tigerrouge,you have been dearly missed.

And girl yes,its a new year,but it seems the covers are just as bland.And i think its a bit unoriginal that W started doing different subcsribers covers aswell.
