I'm happy the blue background and rock has gone. I like this cover. Not amazing but good. Thanks for scanning, finally.

The styling and colours is like a breath of fresh air from UK Elle. I was starting to get sick of this overrated 'Rock Chic' aesthetic.
It's got me curious about the subscriber cover now, hoping for something similar. Thanks for the thread Northern Star!

I really, really like the cover.

Thanks for scanning!

Ohh, thanks. It is nice as well! Thanks!

I love the colours on the newstand one however.

The subscriber cover is nice, but nothing spectacular. I would of preferred a colour cover shot, a bit like the newsstand.
I'm excited for the runway supplement already as well. Thanks again Northern Star!

Natalie Portman (yawn) isn't exactly a new cover subject (although I can't remember the last time, if ever, she was featured on the cover of UK Elle), but the shot itself is rather beautiful. Very unusual colors for a cover, but I like it -- should stand out to its advantage on newsstands amidst a lot the other issues this month. It'll probably look even better IRL. I'm seriously beginning to consider a UK Elle subscription...

Now if only they'd rethought the way they stamped the masthead on the picture -- using the Photoshop "Darken" layer effect on it and then leaving it at that seems rather lazy to me.

Finally. Karma, Northern Star. Looking forward to Skye's ed.

Finally something different from UK Elle! Not tremendously found of Natalie but it's not an awful cover - and given the number of new ads inside, I wouldn't be buying it for the cover anyway. They could have put a leprechaun dressed up as cupid on the front of this issue, and I'd have said to myself, "fair enough" - then ripped the front page off. And a runway supplement!

 

[honeycombchild]

Natalie's never had a UK Elle cover, and she's not a very UK Elle girl I don't think, which is why I like her being on there so much.

 

[Flashbang]

Aw I want the newsstand one. The earth colour's really nice.

 

[McQueezy]

Her eyes are a little bit off but gorgeous nonetheless. The colour scheme is beautiful

Heavenly cover! Not BLUE! Yey! Thanks for the scans! Adore the cover! So buying this in back issue!

I kinda love the cover. Can't wait for the supplement. Thanks, Northern Star!

 

[Franzy]

Thanks for posting! That is exactly the cover I saw. I like it.

Exactly what I was thinking. The colors are so dreamy. I really like it.

The cover is really good. I love the background colour they've used this time. Thanks a lot for scanning, Northern Star. Can't wait to see Colette's ed. She's such a great model.
