Cover Rumor Thread

[gunsnroses]

Lana Del Rey is shooting a magazine cover with Steven Klein

 

[MON]

If Captain Marvel is a blockbuster (as expected) you think Brie’s “triumph over misogyny” narrative would be featured on any magazine? Its a US Vogue / Vanity Fair talking point tbh.

What she faced was unfair and unthinkable, but if I were part of her PR Team, i’d milk it

Also, maybe we could create a SPECULATION THREAD. So that
1. Cover Rumor Thread would be exclusively for those with credible/undisclosed insider sources, or exclusive sneak peeks ++; sample: “demi will be on the april cover of Vogue”

2. 2019 Wishlist would be for who each the member personally wishes to grace the covers : sample - “US Vogue 2019 - Kerry Washington”

3. Speculation Thread where members can post who they think might get the cover based current events, theories, online features. Basically a place we could all speculate like “you think Cardi B might get a cover as Vogue.com heavily features her and has a highlight on their IG”

There is a thread, it’s called Cover Predictions I believe.

By all accounts Captain Marvel isn’t a great film. I think Cam will be the one who lands all the covers come Wonder Woman 2.

Marie Claire UK is Miranda Kerr - a reprint from Marie Claire Australia.
It baffles me how a monthly magazine is happy to settle for a buy in.
Supplements and weeklies over in the UK shoot talent often. Why cant they?

For some reason, I think they just don't have a features strategist on board. The game of getting a celebrity for your cover has changed so much that you almost need a person in charge to court the celebrity first, then the brand they're associated with to help cover the shooting costs. That is if you're not UK Vogue. For instance, I very much doubt that they sought Gwyneth out to introduce Goop to the UK, it must've happened vice versa. Same applies to Brie, who isn't associated with a brand. For celebrities hoping to tap into the UK market it's like, if we can't get Vogue/Elle/Harper's, we'll settle for Marie Claire. And that's fine to be the underdog, but use that to your advantage at least.

For me, it's just embarrassing that there are so many British women to cover, yet they go for a reprint of an Australian model.

American Vogue’s Instagram posted several videos about the 2019 edition of American Women. Maybe the new issue is about the celebration of Women’s Day?

Surely Jodie Comer should get a cover soon?

 

[honeycombchild]

Wouldn’t it be great to see Sandra Oh on something too.

i mean, a clever editor would do them together!

By all accounts Captain Marvel isn’t a great film. I think Cam will be the one who lands all the covers come Wonder Woman 2.

Can you explain this? For instance, don’t you mean Gal Gadot and not Cam?

Also, I’m not sure how Gal landing covers for her movie next year impacts Brie’s bookings for her movie this year.

Lastly, there have been plenty of actresses who have landed covers for not great movies/roles. And some of them have gone on to win Oscars for those same roles! I’ll take that any day of the week than the cover subjects we get on magazines nowadays - Instagram famous, for weddings, on the most prestigious magazine at that

I don’t know much about Brie outside of reading JustJared and the likes and I won’t be seeing Captain Marvel (just like I didn’t see Wonder Woman, for reasons) but Brie’s been looking great on her press tour. And I like how after winning an Oscar she made her directorial debut and after doing this big Marvel movie she’s doing an Apple series in the prime of her career, breaking down the movie/tv barrier.

Brie really should have been on Vogue this month because Anna has given covers to her pets for superhero movies, but she’s out of touch, clueless trash, and her magazine reflects this.

Do you guys think we can expect a Vogue UK with Irina Shayk?

God please... No! I already thought that would happen sooner or later, I think Natalia by Meisel is also something that is in Edward's plans.

@tigerrouge and @vogue28 are you subscribing to Vogue UK? Please request a cover for Doutzen.

By the way... Jennifer Lopez is turning 50 this year and will be touring in celebration (it seems there are trading rumors for the Super Bowl in Miami next year). Can a Vogue US cover be possible?

Brie is also going to be in the Avengers movie that's out in late April/early May, could she perhaps get the May cover? By then Captain Marvel will have been in theaters, she'll be a box office star, and she'll be in what is almost sure to be the biggest movie of the year (Avengers), plus Vogue won't be competing with InStyle at newsstands. Another possibility is she could get a fall/winter cover. She's in an Oscar buzz-y movie coming out then with Michael B. Jordan.

Or april? Considering that tomorrow is Women's Day and the premiere of Captain Marvel, Anna would give us a surprise.

 

[octoberchild]

Brie is on March’s InStyle. There’s no way she’s going to be on the April cover of Vogue or even May, not only because of that exclusivity contract (which only applies to some stars, others can skirt that rule, see Alicia Vikander for one) but May is the Met Gala issue and while people think of superhero movies as campy, it’s not Met Gala theme campy.

Also, not to mention that it makes much more sense to give Brie a cover for a movie she’s the star of versus a movie in which she’s a part of an ensemble cast.

May could very well be Lady Gaga again because Anna’s that unimaginative/running on fumes at this point. Or she could even give the cover to Harry Styles and a couple of models or even one model like Bella Hadid. Give Bella the Gigi treatment where she only appears on covers with others and not by herself. I think that’s more likely than Brie for April or May.

I read somewhere that Brie chose to do Instyle as she is a fan of Laura Brown.
Plus, on all Captain Marvel press, she wanted to work with women, so all her shoots have had all women teams (Instyle, Stylist, Marie Claire all shot by female photographers)

 

[reesewu]

I think at this point, any cover of Brie Larson for Captain Marvel would be too little too late despite us wanting her to be far more ubiquitous than she is at the moment. Her publicist is to blame for this. So far, she has appeared on many important talk shows, doing the carpool karaoke, and Wired’s Autocomplete Interview. They treated her press tour like most press tours done by male celebrities when they are promoting a blockbuster film, which is not a wrong approach whatsoever, but considering that she fronts a female-led superhero movie, they should’ve helped her get more coverage from female-driven publications, too.

 

[octoberchild]

I didn’t realize Brie was a Laura Brown fan, hence the InStyle cover. So at this point it looks more like Brie was not interested in Vogue period, whether she was asked to cover the magazine or not. Good for her. I find that very endearing

Brie does have it all. She acts, directs, has an Oscar, a major Marvel role and is now doing prestige TV. You can’t have it any better in today’s Hollywood. I guess she’s not interested in checking off the Vogue cover on the ‘all the things A-list actresses have to prove they’re A-list’ to do list because she doesn’t have to in terms of career accomplishments plus I’m sure she has access to any designer she wants to wear on the red carpet.

She’s no Blake *cough* or Priyanka *cough* who use Vogue covers as a proxy for how accomplished and/or important they are in Hollywood when that’s hardly the case.

 

[mepps]

Perhaps Brie realizes that a Vogue cover is absolutely worthless to an Actress. It's just cheap pr for about a week, and that's being generous. It's an ego stroke, that won't effect the box office, or paychecks. Vogue needs actresses, actresses don't need Vogue.

 

[dodencebt]

It makes total sense that Brie wouldn't want Vogue for many reasons when I think about it, actually. I doubt she likes Anna.

 

[Benn98]

Not that I'm saying it's unheard of for an actress to dislike Anna, but do we really think that Brie has the power to toss an American Vogue cover if she were offered one? Especially with so much at stake, it being such a hyped movie, backed by a studio (I don't care for this whole Marvel/DC/superhero whatever movies, but I'm aware of how intense the marketing for their movies are.) Let's not get it twisted here, I like Brie and her style enough, but she's hardly that A-list or that in-demand to make all these demands. She may not have actually campaigned for a cover, and that's a different story, but if Vogue came knocking we'd see her on the cover. On her terms of female team etc etc, yes, but I very much doubt she'd turn the shoot down.

At the end of the day her promoting the movie goes beyond her personal beliefs. It affects others from the suit who writes her cheque to the gaffer on set. I'm not saying strip half-naked for FHM, but of course, be reasonable.

^ She would and she did, the rumor is that she not only passed on Vogue, but on Vogue's March cover. Also Emma Stone was approached to be on February cover, and passed it so she could do Edward's Vogue instead! That is what I heard, at least. The simple fact is, if you talk to anyone important in Fashion, they will tell you Wintour's Vogue is no longer "King". Celebs and their teams, don't have it at the top of their lists anymore.

Also, of course Brie has the power to "toss" the cover, and she IS an A-list actress on top of every producers list!
