Wow, a bunch of bad pics.

 

[liberty33r1b]

I'm not sure which one I'd choose....probably none, they all look bad...

 

[MON]

The only one I like is Maria's. Bella's is okay.

Hailey Baldwin.. HAHA. That cover. It's like they didn't even want her to be on the cover. They covered her with her hair plus the logo! Goodness. I'd be insulted.

 

[Simera]

Oh blah. I saw the title and was hoping it was a group photo and that Candice, was Swanepoel.

 

[LastNight]

I feel like these were so close to being great covers but there's something just slightly off about almost all of them. Maria's is the best by far!

Damn I also got excited thinking this was the first post-pregnancy work of Candice Swanepoel (whom I'm veeerrry excited about coming back, as a sidebar - really didn't realize how I'd miss her).

None of these are good. Bella's face looks bright and beautiful, but her head is doing some crazy exorcist-style turn right there and it's freaking me out. They've photoshopped it too dramatically; it's like her head isn't remotely attached to her body.

I like Maria's, but the lighting is drab and makeup is dark and that blaaaah grey background. Maria's got such a vibrant and contagious JOY that emanates from her - I typically pretty much always love her photos. But this time there's a disconnect between her eyes and that smile. Looks a bit forced.

Although I will say I'm very happy for her to be on the cover of US Elle. It's a pretty big step in her career!

The other covers are really bad. Pretty much nothing good about any of them, sadly.

Also - seriously?! "Swimsuit Issue"?? Am I blind ... or is there literally not a single swimsuit on any of these covers?

I only opened this thread because i thought Candice was going to be Candice Swanepoel. Disappointed...
I think Maria's cover looks the best , the other covers are really bad.

 

[DutchHomme]

Elle USA covers with models always suck
Very strange

Candice S. not avaliable?

 

[Marc10]

Maria and Jasmine's are the only good ones.

 

[anlabe32]

Bunch of insufferable Insta-girls by a mediocre photographer.

Nothing to like here.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

Maria looks great in hers. The lighting in the pics on here are different to the ones i've seen online.

 

[crosidan]

Bella continuing to prove she's the only one in that family who has any business modeling, but her posing in that shot...

Jasmine and Elsa are so good looking it's almost dumb

Maria and Candice are beautiful. Candice has such a strong, powerful feminine silhouette, I wish they had done more with her styling wise

Hailey

 

[Benn98]

Oh wow, so many bad covers!! Maria is literally the only one who looks good here, hers is the one I'll be getting. Like many of the others, I too was looking for the Swanepoel cover only go find they've gone with Ashley Graham-lite instead.

Elsa and Hailey look terrible on their shots, and I simply cannot abide Jasmine Tookes so I don't even regard hers.

My biggest disappointment is Bella. She was supposed to be the star here, being US Elle's house model. I hope she gets out of whatever slump she's in (and soon), because I'm beginning to lose patience with these bad covers. She always delivered good work for this magazine, with Terry. Not sure what happened now.

Maria's is the best, she is so beautiful and I'm so pleased she's booked such a big cover. Her smile literally brings warmth to the shot. The Bella, Candice and Hailey covers were completely unnecessary. I like the Elsa concept but it could have been executed better, Jasmine is stunning but it doesn't really grab me

 

[badgalcrush]

Miss Maria Borges is the star ! Her cover is with no doubt the best.

Really hope to see her more often on covers ... Now vogue girl

 

[GlamorousBoy]

one worse than other

 

[Moofins]

To echo the majority sentiment, Maria is stunning, but the rest of these are so unnecessary.
