Allure May 2009 : Blake Lively by Michael Thompson

[cake_batter]

she is so not photogenic, is she? i kind of like the cover actually. allure blows though.

^^ I agree. She always does something awkward with her face or mouth. I don't know who is worse, her or Scarlett Johannson. I guess they were going for a 90s Gwyneth Paltrow look but it fell flat.

Has anybody cued in the "it should've been Blair Waldorf comments yet?"

 

[LUXXX]

Gwyneth's features were more refined at Blake's age and could pull it off better, Blake looks too hard for such harsh make-up.

i saw the cover yesterday and thought,oh i have to see what people are saying in its thread...i didn't expect thisI like it.I think she looks pretty and i love the extreme closeup.Sorry.

 

[michelabella]

the cover isn't bad IMO but a little to close up, if they would have just zoomed out a bit it would have looked better I think.

There are TWO main editorials in this issue: one for Carmen Kass and another for Edita Vilkeviciute. Here's the UHQ scans of Edita's 10-page edit.

[WerbowyStegner]

Omgosh Thank You

 

[Melly5525]

Edita is so amazing, she looks so fab in every dress, they should put her in every issue!

 

[mikel]

Thanks for the Edita scans. She looks gorgeous!

 

[Fiercification]

Edita's editorial is gorgeous and finally some deeper hues of colour in a Demarchlier shoot!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Edita looks beyond hot there, not to exciting styling wise though, and can you tell us who will be on the next cover?

 

[kroqjock]

YES, there is a preview of what is in the June issue! There's no word who's going to be on the cover, but it is going to be called the "Summer Issue" and will contain a feature edit with none other than Hana Soukupova.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^Oh that is unusual, since they always mention the name of the next cover girl, thanks.

 

[tigerrouge]

Personally, I wish they'd put Gisele back on the cover (and then extract a lot of ad revenue from Max Factor). Again, maybe not a close-up facial shot, but remember the days when we'd see a bikini on the cover?

Anyhow, if the Carmen edit is as good as Edita's, I'll be able to overlook the shot selection on the front of this issue. And Hana in Allure next month...

 

[kroqjock]

I didn't see a celeb name for the next month's issue, but I'll double-check later when I get back from a long day at the office. But I can confirm that Hana will be featured in a new edit.

@tigerrouge: Unlike the Edita edit, the Carmen Kass edit has her wearing lots of tiny bikinis and swimsuits (and sporting a very, very tanned body). She almost looks crispy burnt! So if any of you have always wanted to see an edit with Carmen in a bikini, now's your chance.

I would love to see Gisele get June's cover or Rachel McAdams getting her
2nd cover soon.

 

[kroqjock]

Alrighty, I just checked the issue again and if it turns out to be true, the cover girl for the June 2009 ofr Allure will be..........JESSICA BIEL. Ain't that somethin'?
