UK Elle covers these days have a formula where they take a pretty girl, style her in some semi-alternative way, and place her against a backdrop which is the colour of depression.
But Chloe Sevigny is a professional - she's clearly busting to go to the toilet, but she's staying on that chair until they get the perfect shot.
Sometimes it takes me ages to appreciate the content of UK Elle, because I'm not impressed enough by the cover shot to properly take a look at it. Maybe it's because I don't find blue to be a stimulating colour for a cover, and that's the tone that a lot of the shots take.
