US Elle May 2012 : Rihanna by Tom Munro

[Srdjan]

^ I adore Rihanna, and that's why I feel like this cover didn't do her justice.

Hope this one is the subscriber's cover:

Elle

 

[Gary101]

awful and vulgar in very bad way...

A bit like Rihanna then

Her "New look" is gone already so this is dated. I don't think any of her 3 Elle covers have been anything special. Her Vogue US cover still remains her strongest cover IMO.

 

[TeeVanity]

loving the editorial preview more than the cover.

Bad cover.but the ed looks still gorgeous

 

[justaguy]

Awful...it just looks so cheap.

 

[saann]

There is something too try-hard about the entire thing for me to find it beautiful

 

[Fashionturnip]

WOW so surprised for the dislike on this cover!

Personally i love it. The colours are really strong. She looks amazing (shame she JUST changed her hair so this is old before its even out, but hey)....The text clash perfectly with her outfit. Its a really 'of the moment' cover & in 2-3 years time i could definitely see it defining 2012.

Shame the editorial has a completely different theme to the cover!

 

[Nepenthes]

What an unfortunate cover. The ed looks gorgeous though.

 

[YourMonster]

It just looks really cheap and not worthy of the pages of Elle.

 

[blueorchid]

^ Oh please, it's not any more cheap looking than any recent Elle covers.

 

[Srdjan]

^ Yes. Except Blake's, the covers of USA Elle in 2012 are awful, looking so not-Elle.

Personally I love this cover. There's just something about it that says fashion to me. I don't think it's supposed to look perfect with everything put together just right. The hair goes right long with the look I feel... I can't explain it, I just think it's like an old fashion editorial yet still modern

 

[Bruggelidda]

The only thing I like about this is the picture where she's wearing black lingerie. The cover, as you said before guys, it's a waste.

 

[ckgirlbr]

The very first thing I see in this cover is the top of her head.
but then I realize the rest of it is also a mess

 

[lukaslohan]

her hair is terrible to her

Lana del Rey is featured in the issue, does anyone have the snaps or something? I can't find anything on the internet.
