Don't like the hair, but I'm happy for Joan, I'll buy it because of her.

 

[mikel]

This is great for Joan. She looks really good.

 

[Srdjan]

Great!!!! So happy a model (who doesn't have a celebrity status) got American Elle cover. Never thought it would happen.
I doubt models will take over the magazines covers, but I believe they will become more frequent than in the pat few years.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

How refreshing to see her on the cover of US Elle, and looking glorious, love the styling, the hair, and the make-up here, it takes away the annoyance of that sea of text! And wow Michael Thompson!!!!

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Out of all those angles they couldn't have taken a shot from straight on?

 

[HeatherAnne]

Great to see Joan, and I like the edgier (for them) styling. Nice to see US Elle thinking outside the box!

WHAT?! This is the actual cover, not the subscribers cover?! I cannot believe this. I won't believe it until I see her face on newsstands. Very shocking that Elle chose to put a model on their cover after snubbing Linda for Miley.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

OMG this is huge!
GET IT, Joan! Slay, mama, slay!

 

[mikel]

Very shocking that Elle chose to put a model on their cover after snubbing Linda for Miley.

This is new for me. Could you give more details?

It was Harper's that did that, not Elle.

Great exposure for Joan, she deserves it.

 

[thiago:)]

That's indeed great for her! Love how 90's it feels.

 

[mikel]

It was Harper's that did that, not Elle.

Now it all makes sense. Thanks

I'm sooo excited for Joan, this is major!!!
And even more excited to see models on Fashion magazine covers!!

I have a feeling we're going to start seeing more relevant models on Magazine covers from now on.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

this is huge! a black model who isn't a celebrity, great for joan

 

[justaguy]

US Elle is moving forward in the right direction! Beautiful image of Joan.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Joan looks amazing on the cover! And I'm so happy to see that Elle actually put a model on the cover for once, and one who might not be a household name yet. It's a good way to start out 2014 magazine year.

This is wonderful, I think she looks stunning. First issue of Elle US I'll be buying in a long long time.
