Honestly f**k them for featuring an incredibly talented and elegant girl like Gugu on the cover with girls like Kylie Jenner and that obnoxious pouty Baldwin girl. But at least she looks the best and slays them all.

F**k them too for that hair and light skin on Zendaya.

I like Ellie's music but unfortunately she really can't take a good shot with that face.

Agree.

Disagree. What a horrible thing to say.

I like all five. Kylie is perfect for them. Love Zendaya's cover too!

So I guess their is a 6th cover with Nicola Peltz on the cover. She just posted it on Instagram.

I think it was a last minute edition. She has the best cover out of all the girls.

The Next Big Thing: Nicola Peltz

by MEHERA BONNER
Apr 12, 2016

Take a look at the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest families in America and you'll see the last name Peltz, but 21-year-old Nicola—daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz—is as down-to-earth as they come. The Transformers: Age of Extinction actress (who just nabbed a recurring role in Hulu's When the Street Lights Go On) grew up 3,000 miles from Hollywood, and is the second Peltz to take on the spotlight thanks to her older brother, Will, forging the path. Their East Coast family's thoughts on the matter? Not exactly two thumbs up.

"They didn't want us to be actors. They're totally against Hollywood," Nicola says. "I don't know what I would do if I didn't live out here with my brother. He's my best friend."

With famous pals like Olivia Culpo and Gigi Hadid (who, by the way, was totally chill about Nicola playing Zayn Malik's music video love interest), it's easy to assume that Nicola lives a life of celebrity #SquadGoals. But her inner circle is her huge family, whom she readily gushes about: "My squad's my fam. No celebrities in my squad," she says before rattling off the number of dogs they have. "Eleven dogs. Maybe twelve. Two years ago, my brother ordered a miniature pig online and tried to keep it in his bedroom. It ended up being a boar."

So, what can we learn from a girl who prioritizes her family (boar included)? She plays by her own rules—especially on social media. Instead of using her Instagram as a carefully curated branding tool, Nicola wings it. If fans like her photos, great. If they're mean, she blocks them. "I think my block list is 5,000 people. If someone says something mean, I'm like 'no I don't want your negative energy around me. My Instagram is through my eyes and I just post what I think is beautiful."

Part of Nicola's image is proudly showing off her femininity—and yes, her body. Because as Nicola reminds us, girl power is all about being confident in your own skin. Period. "Every woman should be able to do what they want with their own body," she says matter-of-factly. "It's their body. I don't think women should tell other women not to show their bodies on social media. Do whatever you want. You should be proud."

Nicola's refreshingly body-positive attitude plays right into her feelings about girl power. She's all about surrounding herself with strong women: "My whole team is made up of women. I'm so for empowering other women, that's just how I've been raised."

Nicola has also been raised to give back. Sure, she found fame and grew up with fortune, but she's also given all her money away to fight canine euthanasia—a cause so close to her heart that her voice wavers while talking about it. "I have my own bank account. I have no money in it, because I've given all my money to this dog charity. I cry every day about it."

Nicola funnels this emotion into her acting, which will be seamless in her upcoming role in When the Street Lights Go On. "I loved the darkness," she says of the show. "I'm really into dark characters and broken people. I read the script and I was like, 'This is cool.'"

And if there's anyone who knows the definition of cool, it's Nicola.

I don't even like Nicola Peltz, but you're right! Hers is the best one of the lot.

Last minute edition? Did her billionaire daddy bribe someone?

Kylie´s cover is the best

TheoG · Apr 13, 2016

On her ability to influence others and have fun with it: "I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night...I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow."

She kills me.

^maybe she´s talking within her own family

I always thought Kylie was the least annoying of the family, but I might wanna overthink that. :rolleye:

Also, the art direction / layout is wrong on SO. MANY. LEVELS. I'm surprised so few people have pointed that out so far, it's like I can barely see the pictures buried under this red nightmare out of fonts 101 hell.

[Piece Of Me] · Apr 16, 2016

It should have been just Gugu :heart:

Who is one of the most talented up-and-coming actresses around and deserves to be HUGE. Always glad to see her covering something.

I do like Ellie as well, but a fresh face? She has been around since 2009. Not exactly a fresh or new talent.

kokobombon · Apr 16, 2016

I browsed the digital issue and don´t remember seeing Nicola Peltz, could it be that her cover and editorial is just online content?
