LOVE THE 2ND COVER!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

If she does not want to be predictable, she should then close her mouth for once.

The second cover was more than enough. The first one is tragic.

Love the first cover only. The color scheme is just perfect for December. It is fashion and the image pulls me in. The second cover does not appeal to me at all. I am so glad James Green photographed Cyrus.

After a strong September and then two very lackluster months, this is a welcome return. Appreciate that she isn't just decked out in Gucci and D&G (actually I think she's a good fit for Sabato-era Gucci, but just appreciate that it doesn't feel like spon-con). When did EJG last work with HB?

Wow this is the worst I've maybe seen EJG shoot?
I was so excited when I saw the title. What a duo, too bad it's a big flop.

Girl, please close your mouth!! She delivers with Meisel only, not his wannabe... The attempt of Vogue Italia 1990 fails a lot.

 

[miyawaki]

this is one of your most beautiful photos. i wish she had kept her mouth closed in general

 

[Minerva13]

she's just a traumatized, lonely, tattooed, unhappy child

Did the copy editor have a stroke while capitalising?

Those covers of Harper's Bazaar with Anok Yai and Christy Turlington by Ethan James Green were some of my most favourite covers of the year. These, with Miley Cyrus, pale in comparison IMO. The closeup portrait cover is most definitely the standout of the two. The colours are gorgeous. The first cover feels a little... flat.

I LOVE it!! I really do, I am pleasantly surprised.
I do sometimes wonder why her mouth is constantly hanging open. My guess is her veneers are just a wee bit too big and it makes it very uncomfortable
My other theory has to do with Hee Haw, and it's not very nice 😂

 

[Lola701]

She looks like she needs a shower. I’m sorry…

 

[blueorchid]

Her latest procedures have left her looking so brittle and pained. Pretty depressing, imho.

 

[guimon]

Beautiful! Always nice to see Miley looking gorgeous!

 

[alwaysademo]

I for EJG that he actually had fun and used this gaudy vintage filter. Annie needs less of it; he needs more. I like her face in second to last picture but she's still not ready for her closeup yet apparently.

Meisel got her to close her mouth for Dolce's beauty campaign and she looks so strained... Perhaps it's best to let her natural mouthbreathing pose to take over.

Miley’s one of those people that conceptually, would be a dream to shoot: She seems to be open to play characters and give her all with her body contortions. Unfortunately, she’s also that person who needs to be reigned in, to be strongly directed, otherwise she’s just an even more OTT Anna Cleveland. And that includes telling her to close her mouth (… and the prison tats are so gross. I’d have posed her strategically to hide them since retouching them out would be a tad rude LOL). But like FKA Twiggs, she’s a natural mouthbreather, sadly. This could have been a solid shoot had Miley been directed with a strong photographer; the gold gown alone could have been something to remember. I hugely loath the soft pastel overlay in combination with her mouthbreathing.
