Interesting to see the 2nd model cover in mere months. It's literally only the Instagirls who get the mainstream covers. No brainer, of course, but hopefully it will lead to less celebs fro InStyle.

I don't think the dress works for such an asymmetrical pose, and her leg looks prosthetic. Other than that it's a perfect cover for InStyle.

weird to see Laura's repositioning of InStyle to include models. Of all magazines, it's concept since inception has been very strictly celebrities, so it's interesting to think they've put more models on the cover this year than Vogue.

Out of all Instagirls, she can be the most appealing cover star. InStyle might be super cheap (that paper is horrible) and commercial, but what they do, they do well.

This is a really big cover for Bella. InStyle's audience is MASSIVE.

I think it's beautiful, as well. Don't kill me, but it kinda gives me Milla Jovovich vibes.

Just cancelled my InStyle subscription. It used to be something different, kind of classic and appealed to an older audience. Now it's just another teenybopper magazine filled with Jenners, Hadids, and Emily Ratajkowski. I get enough of them on the internet for free. The cover itself is well executed here, though.

She looks great! I really like what Laura Brown is doing with InStyle. I wasn't so sure at first, but now I'm definitely enjoying her vision for this mag!

I like the cover image, but those fonts are unforgivable.

What a tragedy. This cover is truly awful.

I actually think this cover is the best print photo I've seen of Bella yet.

She is really beautiful, but I've found that - frustratingly - her beauty just isn't connecting and translating into an editorial context. She shines in candid and Instagram photos, but in magazines, it hasn't been working quite as well. I think she has some room to grow to understand what exactly the purpose is of an editorial model. An editorial model needs to be able to convey a story and transform accordingly. It's much more nuanced than most models working today can comprehend or achieve. It's so much different than looking gorgeous in an Instagram pic.

Unfortunately I'm getting the same problem in the editorial...and it's too bad, since the cover is really such a strong photo of her.

I'm confused..how is US Instyle releasing their August issue when they aren't even out yet in the UK? I thought US covers came out later in the month, maybe I'm missing something

The only thing I like about the cover is the hair.

Am I the only one that actually prefers her sister? I've yet to see an image of Bella that didn't feel cold and lifeless. Kendall Jenner gets flack for her one expression, if she's only got one then Bella only has one and a half

question is will this appeal to their core demographic

...and Bella is boring! So is fashion, in all fairness.

What a weird shot, styling, pose and expression!

The Instyle subscribers covers are really bad! I read a few comments on IG from subscribers demanding they get the newsstand covers.
