Wow Steven Klein at Elle. I’m all in!
Why Alex didn’t style this?

 

[JPineapple]

I like it! Even with the black backdrop

 

[ThickGlossies]

Sexy, hopefully that issue is fat like a brick

 

[Summer Day]

Cool to see Kollin styling the cover. Hate to be that guy, but wonder what Nicki thinks about one of her fave photographs working with Cardi.

 

[DK92]

Nice cover... I didn't love it, but it's nice to know that Elle is using photographers like Klein!

 

[aracic]

She really isn't photogenic at all, but it's a strong cover! I like it.

 

[Srdjan]

ELLE’s September cover is graced by the unique and incredible force that is Cardi B. Talented, bold and as outspoken as they come.

 

[Lucien112]

This is giving me Grace Jones. I'm into it.

Steven Klein for US Elle? That’s a big get.


Too bad the result of rather lacklustre. Her eyes are not strong enough and it reminds me too much of Adriana Lima’s Vogue Paris cover.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Hahaha what an awful cover!!

 

[MON]

Nina, no. This is painful to look at.

The styling is insanely terrible.

This could've have been a good cover, but instead they shot Cardi B.

 

[Lola701]

It’s an impactful cover but I think that once again, they have failed to do justice to Cardi.
She is not a classical beauty and I feel like instead of adding more (more make up, more effects, more photoshop), it always kinda looks comical.

They should try to move on from the Sexually-agressive Image of her for once.

 

[Benn98]

Lol, I doubt it's a coincidence that she's working with the photographer who basically delivered Nicki's best visuals for her last album and her Fendi collab. But unfortunately for the streetfighter, this cover is a massive flop. Everything about it. In fact, it looks like a Nicki rip-off of sorts.

The awfulness of this cover once again proves how important teamwork is. That's the difference between Meisel/Sims/I&V and the rest. They stick with a set team of hair and makeup artists in order for the result to be relatively standard, even when they work with a wild card stylist.

A beautiful woman with some Grace Jones styling would have made this a fantastic cover... instead, it's like something from one of those series of Drag Race where RuPaul is too busy to be a judge.

 

[Urban Stylin]

I love it! Can't wait for the editorial. Finally a magazine unafraid to embrace glamour 100%! I only wish they had cropped it a little closer the bust area throws off the balance needed for that headpiece.

 

[avonlea002]

I hate her but the cover is good. She is a perfect subject for a photographer like Klein. I am actually surprised he is working for Elle.

 

[JPineapple]

I love it! Can't wait for the editorial.

unfortunatelly the editorial is meh, 2 photos of her with the black backdrop and two more close ups of her lips. 100% sure they did it during quarantine and using the less they could use.
