A nice cover ruined by the layout 😅

The stickers spelling out her name ruin it.

The drop shadow x bevel and emboss effects look extremely cheap. The shot is beautiful, though.

Cate always sells, even this cover challenge attempt 🤗

I love her GAZE! (If you know you know).

Besides that, the layout ruined everything indeed.

The cover select is the only worthy shot— drop dead gorgeous, actually. Very reminiscent of Barbra Streisand in the 1970s. The rest is admittedly technically solid enough: Good lighting and composition; complimentary styling; solid retouching that doesn’t turn her into a 20yo version of her current self. But Nico has absolutely not an individual expression other than copying Lindbergh. The entire shoot just rips off Lindbergh shooting Amber for Liz’s Bazaar wholesale. And unfortunate the art direction ruins a strong portrait: Spanish Bazaar can’t decide if she wants to mimic her French or Italian sister’s style. And the unfortunate, unskilled results end up looking like Glenda’s Bazaar.

What... on earth is with that magazine "effect" in the editorial? I looked at the copy on Libby and that "effect" isn't on the ads, but on most of the regular magazine editorial pages. Please tell me this isn't how the magazine looks in real life? Oh my god...

Questionable art direction aside (which does make complete sense for an issue centered around paper), I am loving this. Cate Blanchett looks fantastic here, love how the team has profiled Cate here. The two covers are terrific. You can never go wrong with a classic black and white studio shoot.
