US Harper's Bazaar May 2009 : Halle Berry by Alexi Lubomirski

[cottonmouth13]

i find the cover quite nice. though halle's smile on the cover just irritates me. but her editorial looks great! and i love the idea of the bubbles! indeed, it's been a long time since halle graced a fashion magazine cover. i mean, fashion magazines like this.

i cannot wait to see the subscriber's cover. and i agree, i hope less pink on the SC.

she looks like one of bob barker's beauties in the first two pics:
"this refrigerator features double doors and an easy clean ice maker..."

It litterally hurt my eyes within 2 seconds of looking at it.How can that be good for sales?

 

[Moonchild]

wow it's a nice surprise to see halle berry on the cover

 

[leChic]

100% not feeling this a t a l l.
is it just me , or does she look like a cross between herself and Beyonce?!
I swear i had to look at her name twice to make sure it was really Halle after seeing that cover- i don't find she resembles herself there at all.

 

[iriswills]

Um, why has Bazaar turned into Marie Claire (the tacky neon era version)? Poor Halle...

 

[A.D.C.]

They made a beautiful woman look old and haggard, isn't that the ultimate crime a fashion magazine can commit??? They should be doing the exact opposite. As for the edit, It feels like it should of been a nice spring fashion story with a model doesn't really look like a celeb edit.

Never thought it possible, but a magazine has finally been able to make Halle Berry look terrible!
Kudos Bazaar!
Her Vogue cover was SO beautiful, and much better than this. MUCH better.
And that was in 2002!

 

[Fiercification]

Wow the cover is really bad, but I love the concept of the editorial, even though only the last two pictures really work.

This shoot is incredible!!!

 

[Urban Stylin]

just like most i cant stand the cover but the ed is nice. I think the hair and the brightness of her face are whats wrong with the cover.

 

[Tinsley V]

Are they serious? Are they actually serious? This looks like vomit at a circus
They have Halle Barry and they pull this out.

I'm just in shock. I can't register how someone at Harpers Bazaar can think this is a good cover

 

[tigerrouge]

It seems US Bazaar has decided that neon will help sell magazines at the moment - the Gisele cover was way more radioactive in real life than it seemed in the scans I saw, so this one must be off the scale.

^^Haha, the previous two with Scarlett and Sarah were equally jarring. I hope they do stop though, its to much.

Halle's last HB cover when she was promoting Catwoman was terribly bad, and did nothing for her beauty either.

 

[birdyandme]

Um, WOW. I have no words....almost.
When I read the title of this post I was semi-interested, as I don't think i've seen Halle on a cover for quite sometime! But WHAT is with that BUBBLEGUM pink?!
I adore SJP but couldn't bring myself to buy her issue because of that horrible horrible cover.
This is twice as bad, as they've paired it with PEACH text and a PINK DRESS.
WHAT?!
I'm so confused.

 

[honeyisle]

About time they had Halle on a cover. Shame about the styling though.

 

[nyc_art_style]

this cover is so horrible. her hair looks awful.

 

[crosidan]

Halle Berry looks fine, but everything else looks tacky as hell.

 

[AnaBGD]

How can you expect something edgy when it comes to HB covers?

This is so awful Ugly hair, forced smile, painful colors...even one of those thing would be enough to make it bad.

Images from the ed look good though.

 

[KateIsGr8]

I really don't like this. I've never been a Halle Barry fan, so I feel like SHE ruined this cover haha. But that's just my opinion. Thats star in the background is so tacky... Like something from a 14 year old's MySpace.
