US ELLE September 2008 : Jessica Simpson by Carter Smith

[Libra Skye18]

Dont think its that awful, for instance her pink monstrosity from few years back takes that title. But yes like Kimair pointed out,the styling is to much like her September cover from 2004 at least her face expression no matter how fake is better here.
!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Now that (below) was a bad cover.

I also agree that the styling is far too similar to her 2004 cover. That was the first thing that popped into my mind. I understand that Jessica is now doing country music but seriously how cliché can Elle be?


Thanks Jeanster for posting.

This is a Sept. cover????

Exactly my thought. Jessica is such a waste of space!! The cover is hideous-- the colours are all wrong and there's way too much text.

 

[Jeanster]

she's not that thin

Indeed. Out of curiosity I just skipped through the latest candids in her 'art of noise' thread and it seems to me, that something is wrong with this photo

Thanks Jeanster for posting.

You're welcome

that pink cover from march 2007 was ELLE's best selling issue of the year.

 

[ThisVixen]

why does she keep getting a cover?

 

[ThisVixen]

elle cove that is....

 

[jf813]

This is really starting to annoy me. WHY is she on the cover wearing the same thing she wore in the magazine 2 years ago??!!!

 

[jf813]

This magazine is not half as good as it used to be (it used to be my favorite). The August issue was good and the one with Mary-Kate was decent but the others this year have been awful.

 

[cette fille]

that is THE most DISGUSTING cover i have EVER seen



& for september??! ahh, so sad.

The only thing that I love in US Elle it's the articles. Comparing with Elle Brazilian Edition, US it's 10.000 times better. (Elle BR sometimes does really good covers, but the content it's horrible - there's no text!!!! Just images) =/

I subscripe Elle US, and it starts this month (sept/08) I'm really happy.

Now this september cover it's awful.

Country Cornpone at its' worse. I can't believe Carrie Underwood is getting the september allure cover

I dig the pink font, anyway...

Tired of her being on the front of FASHION magazines, that's for sure.

She's been on Elle covers practically every year since 04? I don't get all the love...And guess what, the 04 and 05 ones actually look good then they got tackier and tackier with this one being the absolute campiest worst. And, uh, did they photoshop those jeans on her? The angle on her left hip looks a little weird.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

yuck!
wat eds r in it?

 

[scriptgirl]

Why doe she have 3 Elle covers under her belt? Why? What does Elle see in her? Thank God she never got the cover of Vogue.

 

[Palindrome]

I hate how they tried to fit all that text onto one cover. It looks all cramped and ugly.

 

[fer19dog]

what were they thinking

 

[eternitygoddess]

Can anyone please explain what,

"captivated by my heart" means?

seriously, what the heck is that suppose to mean?

 

[Grunged]

^I don't know either, it doesn't make sense.

This is probably one of the worst Elle covers I've seen. Really trashy, the colors don't mix well, the peachy font the red plaid and the blue? Not to mention why the heck is Jessica Simpson on the cover? They need to start being more original with their cover choices. And I seriously doubt that the inside content will be as good as the cover because Elle editorials are always boring. Just studio shots, no creativity.
