ugh ugly cover

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Oh hell NO!

 

[Fabulyss]

Bahahaha

 

[Les_Sucettes]

I have to admit I never heard of her before but Is that a Bond Girl?

 

[vogue28]

her hair is horrible

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I have to admit I never heard of her before but Is that a Bond Girl?

Its a Bond Girl indeed but that cover is a mess, whoever styled this needs to be fired, her haircut in contrast to that dress?The definitive no!

 

[greyeyes]

and i also saw her in St Trinians,she looked good, but this cover is a mess.

 

[MissMagAddict]

I've seen other pics of her that looked good. Miss D is right though... the hair definitely doesn't work with that dress. Who is she wearing on the cover?

 

[A.D.C.]

Why would anyone want to be a Bond Girl?? They all go the way of the cassette recorder, even Halle didn't escape unscathed.

 

[eternitygoddess]

Whoa...I saw her pics before and she does NOT look like this. I can't believe this styling went through. She looks like a WAG.

 

[vogue28]

^ at WAG
That gold dress looks far to tight on her

 

[A.D.C.]

^ what's a wag???

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^WAG is a moniker that UK press came up with for footaballers wives and girlfriends.

What a dreadful cover! But I can't blame them, Gemma is really, really ugly! And yes, she does look like a WAG LOL!

The Bond girl that nobody's heard of... and nobody can believe has been chosen. I have no idea who she is - and good on Tatler for going for an unknown on the cover - but somehow I was expecting something more sophisticated than a 'backstreet Cleopatra' look. Looking at other pictures, she's better than this.

 

[Glittery_Bug]

She might be better than expected (remember all the fuss about Daniel Craig before Casino Royale came out?) but on first impressions she is no Eva Green...

 

[vogue28]

^ she sure isn't no Eva Green
When i'm in town tomorrow, i'm going to have a look at this issue to see the cover with my eyes

 

[Bahiyya]

For a minute there I thought it was Zara Phillips after a weird makeover . I'm sure she looks better otherwise if she's a Bond girl, though, as others have said.

I feel a bit bad for Gemma, yes this is her first really huge role and it's in a Bond film but the constant comparisons to Eva Green have to suck. Who can compare to Eva Green really? Eva has this sort of mystique surrounding her that is very hard to emulate - her image is more set in stone whereas a newcomer like Gemma doesn't even have an image yet.

But enough about that - I think Gemma is a very pretty girl who has been done up to look horrid on this cover. Everything about this is wholly unflattering. If I were her I'd be hunting down the photographer with a sharp, pointy stick.
