She's so beautiful on that Cover, amazing!

Her stomach looks so big because she is still so skinny! Its weird but you cant take your eyes off her, she looks beautiful.

 

[OriginalSin]

yes finally! a bigger scan of the cover! thanks so much toohipforbrooklyn

 

[arlekindearrabal]

it isnt my scan, but thank you for thanking me (?) haha

The cover looks kind of awkward, because she's so thin with this huge stomach. And the wink looks a bit off also.

I think that she's absolutely gorgeous, though. I think it's nice to see models of color be successful, since so few of them are.

the wink is def. off...its like her eye is winking but the rest of her face isnt. sounds really odd but its a bit like smiling but the smile not extending to the eyes (thus u know the smile is fake). same thing here but the opposite. u've got the eye working but the rest of her face doesnt seem to follow it. allow the wink smiley to be ur example lol: << the mouth follows the wink...liya's wink looks flat

Thought you Liya fans might like this pic from Hello Magazine

Ethiopia-born beauty Liya Kebede, best known as the face of Estee Lauder, is among the cover girls who are also, literally, model mums.

Pregnant with baby number two – son Suhul is X – Liya is also a UN Goodwill Ambassador for the area of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. She's particularly emphatic about bringing help to her home country, where two in ten children die before their fifth birthday.

"As an Ethiopian and a mother… I am completely committed to using my profile to help ensure that these women and children's deaths no longer go unnoticed and unchallenged," she said.

The New York-based model, who grew up in a middle-class home in Addis Ababa, also focuses on teaching her son about her native culture. "I am who I am," she says. "My parents are still in Ethiopia… I want him to understand the country and feel it as I do."

Thanks boho babe.

^^Thank you for that. I hadn't known that much about her before. It's nice that she's a UN Goodwill Ambassador and wants to give back.

I do like her and i really think she is one of the perfect examples of the NATURALLY thin model.....look at her as a pregnant woman for gosh sakes!

 

[PinkVolcomShirt]

my gosh, liya is absolutely gorgeous. besides gisele, karolina, and heidi, she was the most memorable in my mind at 2002 vs fashion show. pregnant, or not, she is AMAZING.
