I admit I had to google her to find out who she is. And I think she looks better than here in every single picture I found of her on Google :lol: I don't now, something about this is so dull and awkward. And the fact that there is not a single eye-catching, interesting tagline on the cover either makes me think this must be one hell of a boring issue :ermm:
 
I seriously love Vogue UK for putting her on the cover for reasons that I'm too tired to properly articulate right now.

She will never not be beautiful.
 
Wow, simply bask in this culinary queen's eternal, ageless beauty. Nigella is 54 years old and looking better than ever :heart:
 
I was so happy when I saw her name on the thread! I am really pleased with the cover. Very beauty. The color scheme is perfect too. Finally it's not Cole, Beckham, or any celebrity Vogue UK is obsessed with. <3
 
I love Nigella but this is horrible. It's like her face was photoshopped on the body, awful pose on both pictures. She has such a Maria Calla esque beauty so i'm disappointed that they went with this Testino for US Vogue boring route.
 
I absolutely love Nigella so I will overlook the fact that it's not very good, but you could put her in a plastic bad and I'd lover either way. I'm really glad she's on the cover!!

Aww.. it's lovely to see Nigella on the cover, she looks pretty and I like the way she was styled.
 
I had to google her too but she looks beautiful. It's a pretty solid cover. I only wish they had done something similar with Daria for March. Would have been much more interesting.
 
Huge fan of Nigella and I'm loving this cover!
 
I love Nigella but neither of these pictures do her any justice. The poses, styling and lighting are all wrong. I know she doesn't photograph well, but she's a chef, not a model, so whoever the photog was needed to work harder with her.

Happy to see her on the cover of Vogue though :-)

shaking and crying right now

Just kidding. But I do love this cover choice. I love love love it. I watch her on the cooking channel every day during my lunch break and I own two of her cookbooks. After the very past year she's had, I love seeing her look beautiful and confident on the cover of Vogue. Love the message it sends and she looks beautiful. True, she always looks beautiful, but I don't remember seeing her photographed like this before.
 
I love Nigella and I think it's great British Vogue gave her the cover, but I've certainly seen better images of her than this. I don't particularly dislike it but I'm sure there was potential for a better shoot there.
 
i agree with all the complaints, Nigella is wonderful, i've seen her show only a few times on Pay TV & fell in love immediatly :heart:
but the pictures are :sick: & i blame Goldberg for this, he's a great Photographer but this is just wrong, maybe Norman Jean Roy or McLellan would have done better?
 
It's great to see her on the cover, her presence feels like such a breath of fresh air, I love how a bit undone she looks, a little less make-up, her hair isn't perfectly placed - she's just a natural beauty.

I love the soft-elegance of it all.
 
According to the Daily Mail article on it, the Vogue team have said she's wearing nothing more than some blusher and some mascara, and that -

Miss Lawson received a little retouching as we do with all cover images. Oddly given that she is a woman in her fifties, less than some people decades younger.
 
HQ of the cover and preview of Nigella's shoot:



NIGELLA LAWSON is this month's Vogue cover star. Reclining in a jade green lace Burberry Prorsum dress, the chef wears only the most minimal make-up on the April cover, as the interview gives a real taste of the woman behind the headlines.

"I was terrified of being photographed without make-up," Lawson says in the piece, "and I hate having my looks talked up. It always makes me feel I'm going to be a disappointment in the flesh."

A long-time contributor to the magazine - Lawson began writing a cookery column for Vogue in 1995 - she has this year added judging other people's cookery to her already bulging CV, with a panel slot on food show The Taste. But the author and chef says she may soon expand into another field entirely.

"I love what I do, but there are other parts of my brain that I haven't flexed in a professional way," she said. "I do sometimes think that I've let the more analytical part of my brain slump slightly. I do like writing about food, but there's so much that interests me... I've been working - in a cottage-industry way - on an app, which, if it works, could be deeply thrilling."

Read the full interview and see the shoot in the April issue, on newsstands March 10.

Wow, this is quite a boring and unimaginative cover. I know it's a long shot, but I hope that the import copies for the international market will have a model on the cover, like for November 2002 with Carolyn Murphy and a bunch of TV stars. But I guess that Nigella is too well known outside of the UK, so alas.

I do applaud Vogue UK for putting a curvy 54 year old woman on the cover and that they actually show her curves instead of going for a safe head shot. Too bad that it looks like her head is lifted form another photo. It's obviously photoshopped and not in a sleek Mert & Marcus kinda way but in a cheap H&M catalog kinda way. I also don't like the muted colours. It doesn't feel like a spring cover at all.
 
Probably one of the most unexpected choices for cover this year!
