Terrible cover.

 

[vmob84]

Horrible cover!

 

[Marnii]

The background is awful!!!!!!!!!! I was hoping they would go for something like Daria Werbowy did with Ronaldo last year (?). An outside, fresh, eye popping editorial.

This looks terrible!!!

And how classy of them to put words like "diet" on there! I mean, its not like its VOGUE or anything

 

[silk skin paws]

They look like two separate entities and not in a good way. It looks like Lebron was photoshopped in.

Wow this cover is so bad. The background color is disgusting. This image would have been fine, even fun for an editorial, but for a cover with all the text around? Ugh.

And why would they do this to LeBron? Gisele looks like she was about to fall but thankfully he caught her.

omg anna

 

[AnaBGD]

This is the cover of fashion magazine??? (Not to mention Vogue)
My only guess is that Anna wanted people to stop complaining about celebs on the cover, so she ruined the one with sportsman an a model on purpose

The worst of it is that LeBron is actually good looking, but look how does he look in the cover. Awful.

agreed!

 

[chanels]

Why, Anna, why?!

Then again, I ask myself this every time I see a US Vogue cover.

The one rare time she uses a model and it looks like this. How disappointing

 

[Fabulyss]

^^I just think its in everyones best interest, So no one get offended or people don't clash. I like TFS because its very conservative and everything tends to run smoothly without people constantly fighting on here!.

God forbid

Oops, was it too controversial to mention God?

i agree...he looks like hes twice her size and height....in which case shes a glamazon which makes it impossible!

 

[kevinnn]

well Gisele looks... fun

 

[sepia]

This is just awful.

Lebron looks like he's imitating Jennifer Hudson's open mouth expression on the March cover last year

If you didn't say it, I would have...

We already know one editorial of the content:

Doutzen Kroes in an ice-skating ring wearing Miu Miu Spring 08, shot by ____?

Thats in this issue, right? With the whole athletic theme?

Hardbodies Unite in New Issue of Vogue

By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL

Posted: Today at 5:35 p.m.
NEW YORK — LeBron James is striking a pose in April's Vogue, which features the NBA star and supermodel Gisele Bundchen on the cover.
Bundchen, who stands 5-foot-11, wasn't intimated by James' 6-foot-8, 350-pound frame. "He doesn't really make you feel small, even though he is big," she says in the magazine.
"I think my leg is like the size of his shoe," she adds.
The duo is one of several athlete-model pairings in the magazine's annual shape issue. It's only the third time a man has appeared on a Vogue cover, with James following in the footsteps of Richard Gere, who appeared with Cindy Crawford in 1992, and George Clooney, who also appeared with Bundchen in 2000.
The pairing of the All-Star forward and the runway icon was shot in January by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz in James' hometown of Akron, Ohio. Others inside the new issue include swimmer Michael Phelps with Caroline Trentini, snowboarder Shaun White with Daria Werbowy; and speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno with Doutzen Kroes.
They all talk about their bodies - and each other's.
Model Raquel Zimmermann (5-foot-10) told discus thrower Jared Rome that he wasn't as super-sized as she was expecting.
"You're not as tall as I thought you'd be," responds the 6-foot-tall Rome, who weighs 310 pounds and was appears to lift Zimmermann with one arm in a photo.

It's not a great cover.
But it is different and eye-catching!

I don't mind the concept, it is definitely a lot more interesting than the usual bland celeb cover everybody is complaining about. But Gisele looks like she slipped, twisted an ankle and about to fall down.
