US Vogue April 2009 : Beyoncé by Mario Testino

^ You're right, but I would like to see them use new models IN ADDITION to their signatures. US Vogue is not US Vogue without Caroline Trentini or Raquel Zimmerman.

Yes. Every time one appears in Vogue it unlocks the location of one of the horcruxes needed to destroy Wintour.

I forever love you for the Harry Potter reference.

I agree, i'm a huge Trentini and Zimmermann fan, but there were never complaints about how thin they were, now there is? I think we should be satisfied with what they are dishing out considering the circumstances.

I second these two posts.

Natasha Poly and Karlie Kloss in the Shape issue?
I'm sure they are real women, but curves are nowhere to be found on them.
Skinny girls are all over every Vogue 11 months of the year. How about Lara Stone for once?

I mean, come on! Natasha? Karlie? Shape issue? Laughable.

there are people who have made the vogue cover who have contributed less to any profession they are in and have been rewarded nothing for their work, only the fact that they have pretty faces and are dressed in good clothes that someone else chose for them. Beyonce is a strong woman, talented, pretty, respectable, and great at what she does, she has her moments when she dresses well and not so well heck who hasn't?? If she was so bad then her success would not have lasted as long (same with Madonna who I find so revolting). She's a good role model, entertainers like her should be appreciated when you have the likes of Winehhouse and Lohan about not hated on.

And a great performer. She's very compatible with the Wintour mindset and she deserves that cover, whether we like it or not.

Adele looks great and Doutzen is divine.

I'll be satisfied when they stop using pictures of models with silly expressions.

I hate coming to this thread. "Bring back Daria" "Omg why is Daria in the Shape Issue".

Seriously, would it have killed them to get a plus sized model?

Seriously, that's the only thing that REALLY pisses me off. They used to have an editorial in every shape issue that featured models of various build- a thin model, a short model, a curvy model, a tall model and a pregnant model. Now, all of these girls were tall... and thin, short... and thin, pregnant... and thin, you get the picture, but still- they had visably different shapes. What happened?


As for Beyonce claiming to be a size two, I believe it. She has a super duper tiny waist that makes her hips look bigger than they actually are. Not to mention, the camera always adds weight. I bet she's considerably smaller in real life than she looks to us.

This isn't a shape issue as much as it an issue about fitness and featuring the hottest models of the moment. They could have at least put Isabeli Fontana, who is usually in US Vogue and has a GREAT curvier body for a Shape issue, in an editorial!

 

[JuiceMajor]

not a good cover

 

[Mchunu]

Iron Maiden..snap to athletique chic?

 

[XavierRaphael]

With great bodies, comes fitness, so obviously their will be things on staying fit, thats how they have always done it. But I do miss those editorials with the curvy, short, thin and tall MODELS.

 

[Mchunu]

^I suppose you're right.

 

[scriptgirl]

Hell has frozen over. Two back to back Vogues with black women on the cover and Beyonce's cover actually looks decent.

 

[XavierRaphael]

Not hell has frozen over, Heavens gates have opened.

you have a really interesting point, in the 80's and 90's we had Halston, Perry Ellis,Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Isaac Mizrahi, Todd Oldham, Bill Blass, Giorgio Di Sant Angelo ...

NOW we have The Jonas Brothers Couture, 'Hannah Montana' fashionista clothing line , P.Diddy, J.Lo, Gwen Stefani, 50 Cent, Hillary Duff, Beyonce's Dereon Atelier Line ....

half those designers still exist. and back in the day, there were still celeb lines. Hannah Montana clothing is just the new Kathy Lee for Walmart

Um no excuse for not featuring a plus sized model, but i dont think the rest sounds bad, and yes, so happy for no Caorline or Raquel.

The contents don't excite me at all. This is supposed to be an issue about varying shapes and quite frankly the only person who is any different from the rest is Adele and while I like Adele it would have been nice if Vogue had done something like what they used to do and featured several models each with a different sort of figure - tall, short, athletic, plus and so on so forth. It's disappointing that they didn't even try to do something like that.

Sometimes I think Vogue wants to just fail. Because it really helps people of different shapes to learn how to dress themselves / get style ideas when they've got a bunch of pictures of Daria /Natasha Poly/ Edita and Karlie...

And I love all the models who are in this issue but if you have a whole themed issue howabout utilizing the actual theme? Having the latest models isn't everything - especially when the girls chosen don't reflect was the supposed purpose of the issue is supposed to be.

I couldn't agree more. I wonder where all the outraged people who scoffed at the label "real woman have curves" have gone to? After all, isn't it just as angering to see that on the cover, and then an issue full of stick figures?

I guess irony is lost here.

I miss the days when they had different shapes. Athletic, plus, pregnant even. It wasn't just an opportunity to see how clothes look on different figures, but to see different women, for once, in US Vogue. But now the only women in the issue who aren't model sized are Beyonce and Adele, two singers who made a career despite their weight, and still get taunted for it by the press.

i used to like beyonce's image.. until she started attending awards in those ridiculous dresses.
she's got talent, she's nice.. but... no.
