US Elle July 2009 : Gwen Stefani by Carter Smith

I think the cover is a perfect example of the rule that wearing horizontal lines makes you broader. Because in this pic she looks very broad shouldered.

quick excerpt from gwen's interview from justjared:
On some conflict when she got back together with her band, No Doubt: “Everybody’s making it like there’s all this tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they’re jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that. But some fights aren’t really what they seem I think it was a little about the song (a cover of Adam and the Ants’ “Stand and Deliver”), and a little about our coming back together. There was this little air bubble that needed to pop, you know?”
On facing other challenges with being a mom of two sons: “It’s one thing when you have an infant but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, ‘Mommy, what’s the deal?!’ it’s harder. Kingston’s whole thing is, ‘I need, I need.’ He is insane right now. We’re just hoping for the best and that he’s not going to turn out to be a freak, but we’ll see.”

I love the LV outfit on Gwen...but I think her head looks odd. Like they've used the head from another shot and superimposed it into this one.
And pretty much EVERY US Elle cover looks boring and cluttered, so no surprises there.

That pic above of her and her son is gorgeous

On being a mother: “It’s one thing when you have an infant, but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, ‘Mommy, what’s the deal?’ it’s harder. Kingston’s whole thing is, ‘I need, I need.’ He is insane right now. We’re just hoping for the best and that he’s not going to turn out to be a freak, but we’ll see.”
On celebrity: “Obviously, I’m not anything more than I am. I’m just, like, totally normal. The fact that any of this has happened, that we’re sitting here at the Beverly Hills Hotel just gets me going, like, What?”
On leaving No Doubt: “Everybody’s making it like there’s all this new tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they’re jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that.”
On how her priorities changed from band to family: “I wasn’t even married. Now I’m a wife and a mother of two. It’s a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that’s what it’s like to be together for so long and go through what we’ve been through. I can’t really have that relationship with them anymore. My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That’s a huge, huge thing.”

[[Piece Of Me]]

I love Gwen and the cover looks pretty good. Can't wait to see the subscriber's cover and her editorial.

 

[yalil]

Well, the cluttered text is back. I thought they were on their way to a new beginning after last month's relatively clean cover.

Nice cover, btw.

 

[cesarcmma]

The male model looks like a baby next to Gwen. I'm not saying that she looks old, I just feel the male model is inappropriate for this ed, I don't like him at all.

 

[harmonious]

I'm not really a fan of the cover :/
