Does anyone know how long it had been since a model had been on the cover? (not counting Kate Upton or the special VS issue)

 

[MagFan]

^Erin Wasson probably was the last one in September 2003

 

[GlamVal]

Joan is a great model one of the best, too bad this cover and editorial will not render tribute to her beauty

 

[GlamorousBoy]

I am surprised it is not that bad, I was expecting much worse cover, but it is actually nice

 

[[Piece Of Me]]

So good to see Joan! Very unexpected and fresh choice. She looks absolutely stunning on the cover.

 

[Fiercification]

I love the MJ, Armani and Dior shots! Even though it's naturally a very commercial shoot, I like that Thompson's flawless lighting comes through in some of the images.

Can anyone review it, please?

 

[Srdjan]

I don't like her editorial. Typical for US Elle, never leaves me appalled.

YAAAASSSS!!!!

Joan Smalls. Number 1 model in the world for a reason!

 

[Mockingbird]

She looks amazing! Love the cover and the first picture of the editorial. Hopefully she gets some mainstream recognition in America thanks to this because I noticed that the vast majority of her fans are in Puerto Rico.

Not loving her editorial but there are some nice shots. A few close-ups would have been nice, too.

Street Cred and Boardwalk Empire look great! Joan's on the other hand is pretty boring.
