US ELLE September 2008 : Jessica Simpson by Carter Smith

[FashionJunkie]

The cover is pretty bad, and jess is a beautiful girl.

I love Jess but the Elle shoot is more fitted for maxim or any men magazine than Elle!

 

[maffam]

she is photoshopped to high heaven and not in a good way...

 

[newprincesita]

Omigod! Tacky is just an understatement....

 

[Style-Addict]

Oh no, why?!? For September? It's the September issue!!!

Commenting on the inside editorial in post #60:

I can't believe how clichéd and uninspiring Jessica Simpson's editorial was. Everyone probably just went: "Oh, she's coming out with a country album, let's dress her up in country farm-girl clothes! It'll be awesome."

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

pure skanky

 

[cestmagique]

^^Exactly, it's the shallowest makeover ever. 'My gooey pop songs don't work on anyone any more, so I'll puff up my hair, wear plaid, and become a country star! Tee hee!'

 

[honeyisle]

She was always a little "country" IMO. The cover looks ok, why is anyone surprised? Love it or hate it, It's all about money and Jessica Simpson sells issues. Whatevs.

 

[HappyChanel]

the cover is too much like her september 04 version...

Holy crap, you're right. The shirt looks identical too and they made her wear dark jeans as well. I never thought Elle would be this bad...

 

[Raych]

Jessica, NO! This is so disappointing. Her 2004 cover looked pretty good though, but guess what? WE GET IT. You're 2008's excuse of Daisy Duke.

Sorry to post again, but I found this on JustJared.com

HSM is such a guilty pleasure. I can't get enough of Zanessa...

horrible cover, don't like anything about it at all!

I thought the same thing when I saw it. Awful!!

Thanks for the scans MissMagAddict!!

 

[fafafafashion]

This cover really isn't that much of a step up from Lindsay Lohan on last year's September cover. The whole outfit is unappealing and nothing about the cover screams "fall" to me, which is quite disappointing. I'll still be getting this issue in the mail anyway, but I'm not exactly looking forward to it.

 

[SnejanaIsMyMuse]

Ughg at the HSM edit.

I can't stand anyone from the cast.

 

[Stylephox]

the wall scenes remind me of prison break...like they've been locked up for tackiness

ok anyway if I was 13 again I'd probably be loving the ed. so err..good job trying to reach out to a younger demographic??

 

[Paws]

^You are right about the younger set liking that ed and really how many 12 - 13 yr. olds buy US ELLE!!!!

 

[MissMagAddict]

Really... wow... so harsh with the criticism... I thought the styling of the HSM editorial was darling.

 

[Paws]

^It is.........it's just too bad that the younger set probably won't see it!
