Cover:
Shakira in Fendi shot by Gilles Bensimon.

"Marquee Days" Ph. Ruven Afanador - Spread inspired by looks from Walk the Line, i.e. big hair, flowy dresses, cowboy boots. 6 pgs

"Scents and Sensibility" - Short article about Rachel Weisz and her Burberry campaign.
"Crown Heights" - Maggie Bullock goes all-out-glam for high-society galas.
"Party Platform" - History, etc, etc of platforms.

"Muscle and Flow" - Q&A with Vin Diesel.
Overall: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Look somewhere else other than Elle if you want great eds. But the accessories guide and the always-great articles make this a good issue for others. 6 out of 10 stars

I like the editorials with the exception of Shakira, it's impossible to pull off some trends with her because her looks aren't original or unique.
