What a wonderful surprise to see Daria on UK HB! And its a gorgeous shot.
 
Very nice. Always happy to see Daria. Is this her first appearance for UK Bazaar?
 
Simply beautiful! What a nice surprise to see not only Daria, but also Nico Bustos at British Harper's. The thumb version made me appreciate the shot much more. Wonder what the newsstand cover will look like.

Thanks for the speedy upload, Vogue28! ;)
 
Well it's a surprising choice considering their consistent actress choices. However, I am not fond of the shot. It looks like a wax figure unless that's the point.
 
Oh this is so beautiful. Very happy to see Daria, it's a pleasant surprise. I also love that she looks a little more romantic and serene, feels like she hasn't shown this look in a while.
 
So pretty. It´s nice to see her made up every now and then :D
 
AHHHHHHHH Soooo nice to see her back, it´s been a while, so happy to see her on the cover, she looks amazing! We will always all go for that incredible face in fashion :) she is the real deal : height, body, face, looks, personality, career and such an endearing smile :) Love this girl; can´t wait to see the editorial and read the interview.
 
"The woman we want to be" seems like a very anti woman cover line if you ask me.
 
I agree with you A.D.C.
Daria's much discussed project with Teller and Pop was more womanly and also more beautiful..... They've managed to make her look a bit Downton Abbey here.....
UK Bazaar makes everything look like Downton Abbey!
She left the nose ring down at the stables.....

They have a market they're aiming at. If I remember rightly their reader is 45+, it has the oldest demographic of the British glossies and so usually tend to pitch to them with a very sophisticated, muted glamour. It's no surprise they removed the nose rings to me.
 
What a pretty cover! I'm happy to see Daria on Harper's Bazaar, especially with such a lovely result :wub:
 
It's a very beautiful cover but it screams photoshop. I highly doubt Daria's skin looks this flawless in real life. But anyway, it's beautiful!
 
Once upon a time, I practically worshipped the ground that Daria walked on. It was that unforgettable August 2004 Vogue Italia cover by Steven Meisel that did it for me. But in recent years, I can hardly look at her. She almost seems to be phoning it in, not making much of an effort at all. I'm all for rawness and realism but a little make-up can also go a long way for some models. And sorry, but to me, Daria is just one of those models that NEEDS make-up, otherwise I'd rather not be bothered. And even her photography ventures (Equipment ads with Moss) don't exactly make me salivate more more, but I digress.

And then there's this cover. She's got a modest amount of make-up and she's pretty again. But the post-production is sloppy. They left the upper eye areas raw, perhaps to give a sense of realism but every other sign of age has been erased which makes it look odd and unconvincing. I'm hoping the editorial is good and brings back the old Daria I loved and adored.

Which magazine cover these days with a female cover model does not "scream" photoshop? We can count on one hand.

It's a lovely shot but she looks a little dead behind the eyes, which I don't like and am not used to, from Daria. Am pleased to see her, just the same.
 
^true :lol: but after seeing Daria makeup free on the cover of Pop for example, or for the Equipment campaign, I can see the photoshop even more.
 
I'm actually a sucker for British HB's distinct and sophisticated cover direction. You can rest assured that they'll mould the cover model to their requirements, and not the other way around. Very similar to Vogue Australia. The mere concept of this brashness is so remarkable in this era where the cover subject and photographer calls the shots. If Daria had her way this would be yet another bare shot, with her looking haggard. I'm actually at a loss how she still continues to maintain that Lancôme contract.

For some reason I feel like I've seen this shot, or angle, before (not being snarky).
