US Elle December 2012 : Jennifer Lawrence by Carter Smith

hoo boy... not good. I thought the newsstand cover was a cosmo cover, heh.

 

[MON]

I kinda like it! If it weren`t for the hideous yellow background, the Newsstand would be perfect! The hair is beautiful!

The subs cover is amazing!

i like the second cover! the first one i though it was taylor swift

 

[KoV]

I agree! The tagline is a bit strange considering this cover is to promote an indie and will probably prove that she is an indie star as well as a blockbuster star.

SLP isn't an indie, though. It was produced by a Hollywood Studio with A-listers staring and a nearly $30 million production budget. To me, the tagline still makes sense, especially considering her breakout role was in a true indie, Winter's Bone. Semantics, though.



Personally, I don't love either cover, but they're both better than Elle's average Newsstand/Subscriber covers.

She's a phenomenal actress but she's SO painfully dull looking. I really don't think she photographs very well at all.*

...the sub cover is merely okay, and that's only because her face is turned away from the camera.*

I like both covers, although I think the newsstand version would have been much better had it not been for the yellow backdrop. On the other hand, the subc version is pretty amazing as is!

 

[TeeVanity]

They both are good, Jennifer is a star.

 

[thiago:)]

I don't like any... And the first one is really odd. It looks like it was an outdoor shot and they put that awful yellow background.

 

[JesseDillon]

I received this in the mail today, and I love the entire shoot! Jennifer is such a gem.

Review please!

 

[HelplessnessGray]

Gosh if you didn't tell it's Jennifer I couldn't recognize! Now I'm not sure about the main cover but the 2nd shoot is freaking amazing.

 

[vintagemuse]

the subscriber cover is amazing. I wish they would have used that instead. I can't wait to see her editorial.

 

[ChrissyM]

I'm getting tired of these uber bright, garish background covers. The subscriber image is soooo much better.

 

[LoveKatFashion]

Better Quality of 1st cover...

I am in love with her ed.

 

[justaguy]

The ed is really nice. I like all the shots, especially the one with her lying near the water. They could have done better with the newsstand cover.

 

[Mat Cyruss]

i assume the newsstand cover won't be yellow, just like the Selena Gomez cover
