US Vogue August 2013 : Claire Danes by Annie Leibovitz

[Miss Dalloway]

^ It goes way back to Farrah Fawcett and other Charlie's Angels as well, even Linda Evans of Dynasty graced the cover once i believe.

 

[gossiping]

i like this cover actually a lot

 

[Royal-Galliano]

so happy for her even though i'm not particularly in love with the outcome. the cover looks almost like a romantic painting or something.

Gotta love the photo of them posing in an interrogation room Only in US Vogue

 

[fantastical]

I like the fact that she isn't smiling all big and wide like most cover stars, but I wish she didn't look so discontent - maybe if there was more beyond the eyes than the "I wish this was over already" look she has. With that said, I do like that she has this not playing around kind of mood to the setting of the editorial.

I'm amazed at how tedious this looks - how lifeless and uninterested Claire seems to be and how horrendous the fake background looks. This all looks so rushed, as though the feature was shot last minute to replace something which was discarded.

I do anticipate the contents of this issue, though. There had better be at least one stimulating fashion editorial which injects some enthusiasm into the issue.

I asked my boyfriend: "Guess who's on the cover of next month's US Vogue? I'll give you a clue: she's the epitome of a basic actress" and BINGO, he got it right

Let's say this cover is a good reflection of her personnality

 

[*Bianca*]

This would have to be the first time I have ever heard Claire Danes described as a "basic actress".

 

[Thefrenchy]

^Eh, to each their own

 

[VogueDisciple93]

I am now convinced Annie detests happiness, joy, and life. All of her recent covers leave the subjects dead-eyed and expressionless, most of them aged beyond their years. This cover is no exception; plasticized setting, uninterested subject, and boring colors.

That coat does not belong on a cover, or anywhere for that matter.

 

[tigerrouge]

I respect her as an actress, but without having watched Homeland, most of this feels meaningless to me. Obviously millions of people do enjoy the show, but purely on my own personal level, buying a fashion magazine to see a recreation of a TV show that I haven't got into... I'd rather see her do something visually different from any of her roles. I'd rather see Claire than Carrie.

They've always been open to putting the very biggest tv stars on the cover of Vogue, especially if they also do movies or have some crossover appeal. Debra Messing, Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively, Oprah Winfrey have all had covers. Jennifer Aniston's first cover was during the height of Friend's popularity as well.

Not to mention that tv stars are usually equally, if not more popular than movie stars, since they are on television much more often so people can relate to them better. I'm actually surprised not more tv stars have graced the cover.

Sorry if this has already been said, but what is she wearing on the cover?

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

^Eh, to each their own

im with you, im not a fan and she always comes off as a know it all.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

I am sure that trenchcoat looks much more better in reality but of course they photoshopped it too much and it looks like neopren

 

[lucy92]

TV programs are the new movies. I would expect to see a lot of TV stars on magazine covers now and in the future.

I like the image inside the surveillance vehicle. the others - not so much.

The interview itself was a bit obnoxious. what's the use complaining about movie choices she has made if she walked away from a critically acclaimed show gambling on the chance that movie work would pay more and would take less effort?

the first vogue cover she did was beautiful.

 

[Creative]

The cover is terrible. Vogue US should get rid of Annie Leibovitz.

Sorry if this has already been said, but what is she wearing on the cover?

Burberry F/W 13.14.

There was an article posted in the Business of Magazines thread about the very fact TV stars are, on the whole, selling magazines better than the movie stars. Them, along with musicians, are the people who are going to be taking over the covers I imagine.

I like Claire, I think she's a terrific actress, and I enjoy Homeland. I like the shot of her on the cover, I think she's look great, I am however now too enthralled with the clearly fake backdrop they've given her, otherwise I think she looks great. The editorial based on the show is a little too literal for my tastes and it feels like it's a bit of waste, although when you remove Claire from the settings, I like her. I think she looks great in that blue Calvin Klein dress... it's just a shame she's standing in an interrogation room in it!

 

[justaguy]

I like the cover but I don't care for Claire's look. She looks kind of put off to me.

 

[get fashion]

"With a little help from Daft Punk"
Wtf that means?

 

[mm6789]

Looks like Karlie Kloss is in this issue (surprise) with Daft Punk photographed by Craig McDean! I'm liking this.
