I feel like I'm in a crowd where everyone is clapping at the sight of someone who's chronically bad at running but has suddenly managed to finish a 5K with the help of everyone around her. Your best result yet! Well done!
I love the set-up of the story, it's classic Elle - but her modelling here looks like rubbish to me, she looks cross-eyed on the cover, and I don't know why everyone's giving her a pass when her sister Kim brings more to any shoot she does, and she's generally seen as an abomination.
She's had this cover and a US Vogue one thrown at her recently, and while you can get a nice shot out of her these days, she's still not up to any real standard. But we've been worn down to the point where we welcome the most paltry signs of improvement from someone who was never a natural in front of the camera in the first place.
