My issue with InStyle’s attempt at going vintage is how on the nose their approach is. It makes the whole thing look dated. Regina’s hair and makeup are so much better in the picture where she wears green dress. They should’ve applied the same hair and make-up to the cover.
Why am I seeing orange everywhere all of a sudden?!? UK Elle, InStyle, Trump, Mulletproof's nails??? Make it stop! I want to like the cover but the gaudy jewels are distracting. And InStyle's styling always looks so pedestrian to me even though they've got the same luxury brands we see in top magazines.
She is such a beautiful woman, she does not need that. All those sugary things are a bit too much. Her beauty saves everything but from her Redcarpets appearances and the magazines, nobody is doing her justice.
The one thing I dislike about this is how Regina isn't looking direct out toward us viewers, which is always a total bugbear of mine. Everything else, however, is a win. I love the orange, the gold jewelry, the beauty styling and just the overall look. Always nice to see Regina King!
And I was like...countdown to Laura Brown's badass issue for 2021 in 3 2 1...voila! I love Regina King so so much I that I will just give this a pass.
