Ugh.

I love Charlize and it isn't completely awful (we've seen worse), yet this simply doesn't sit right with me. Not sure what she's doing with her right arm, but I don't like it. The photograph is very sterile. And the font. I don't love it. Overall it looks like a cover scraped up from someone's leftovers, not like something they specifically commissioned and that's what bothers me the most. I couldn't find the full editorial on their website, but you can't tell me that this was the most cover-worthy image they took.

Like she’s sitting on a chair at waiting room while the crew changing the studio background and then The photographer passes by and takes her photo and call it a day.

So lazy.

Isn't there a British Vogue cover of her sitting on a chair in the same pose, but angled the other direction? I swear she even has the same shoes and a Grecian dress on too.

Either way, this is very dreary and oddly framed for a cover.

The May 2012 cover of UK Vogue.... (vogue.co.uk)

Almost every cover of Bazaar is an actress sitting in awkward pose

That’s the one I was thinking of. A far superior version for sure. One looks like the behind the scenes / before of the other.

Looks she's sitting on a patient chair.

I miss glamour.

I miss Glenda. I miss Laura Brown. I want some memorable images.

The last photo of her, in the Tom Ford/Loewe/Prada outfit would have made a better cover, especially for October.

 

[tigerrouge]

I imagine we'll be seeing this story again in UK Harper's Bazaar, so I wonder if they'll choose a different shot for any cover that might come from this.

HATE the hair and that frumpy dress. Her face is gorgeous though but that's about it.
Samira's Bazaar is sooooooo WEAK OMG so bad !

This is not minimalist; it's bland and depressing.

 

[Deleted member 141523]

I love her hair. Always supporting Orlando's job.

The layout of the cover is visually awful. Does this magazine even have an art director? Dreadful. It looks like a bad bad bad fan-made magazine cover.

she’s making some sort of statement apparently and to be taken seriously she looks boringly p*ssed off in every picture. got it.

WHAT A WASTE OF CHARLIZE!

The whole shoot looks so amateur. Also bad retouching looking more like Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan
