I think Scarlett looks pretty nice, and it's a lovely departure for Elle from their usual cover stars, like that abhorred Alexa Chung. I think the styling is pretty fantastic, though I do wish that they'd have got her to look towards the reader, rather than to an aside. The Victoria Beckham dress really suits her, and I think the hair is nice - Scarlett is always styled, or at least associated, as a bombshell or given a 'sexy' look, so I think something a bit edgier is really refreshing and fun!
I'm hoping that Anja will have a cover though, they typically do that with the February and August issues, like Isabeli and Marloes last year. In saying that, I'd guess she'll be receiving, or is in the running for, their Model of the Year award at the ELLE Style Awards, just like Isabeli was.
Kind of excited, even if it is just a bit of a filler month!
