US Vogue January 2009 : Anne Hathaway by Mario Testino

[iriswills]

I mean, who's featured with an article in Vogue just because they change their haircolour? Only Coco darling.

Well, Vogue does like to feature models that make dramatic changes (ie Kirsty Hume and Carmen Kass chopping their long locks). And they did have a feature about how blonde models were all the rage a few years ago. So this Coco feature is pretty standard.

As for the rest of the issue, I was heartbroken to see such a hideous cover image. I saw Anne's name in the thread title and was beside myself with excitement (someone new!), but no matter how many times I look at the picture I can't seem to like it. I tried Anne, I really tried, lol.

The first picture out of her editorial is drop dead gorgeous. I'm shocked that it wasn't used for the cover. It would have been perfectly 'Vogue', so I'm a bit confused with their choice. Meanwhile, Testino's work surprises me. I love his usual work but these images feel different... in a very good way.

Anyway, regardless of my disappointment with the cover, I am very excited about the contents!

Fashion Editor: Grace Coddington
Models: Chanel Iman & Jourdan Dunn
Hair: Guido
Makeup: Diane Kendall

Sims studio edit but Chanel and Jourdan set the pages on fire. Love it.

From the title of the ed I was expecting some Salman Rushdie or Deepa Mehta references. Vogue, you tease.

Sorry for the double post, but I totally understand the cover choice. Anne is looking directly at the camera while the others aren't. Just too bad it wasn't the perfect shot.

I know someone wanted to know who was on the best dressed list:

Blake Lively
Elettra Wiedemann
Alexa Chung
Anne Hathaway
Laura Jarrett
M.I.A.
Bianca Brandolini
Sonja Van Bebber
Dasha Zhukova
Raquel Zimmermann

blake and anne hathaway have damn good stylists and that's about all...

Blake has a terrible stylist, everything she wears is so bland.
The clothes wear her.

Press she shouldnt be getting.

This is the Coco Rocha editorial for which she has died her hair! I love the red on Coco but for 99.999999% of the population redhair is just not going to work in any way shape or form!

I figured after I saw a few candids of a redheaded Coco! Thank you for the scans, Luxx She looks gorgeous in her ed!

Sorry for the double post, but I totally understand the cover choice. Anne is looking directly at the camera while the others aren't. Just too bad it wasn't the perfect shot.

I wish they just shot her from a distance. All I see in the cover is a closeup of her huge lips, teeth, eyes, nose in a narrow face. She should avoid closeups, everything else would've worked.

Love Coco. Red works for her although not for everybody. And I have high hopes for Jourdan and Chanel.

I don't understand how Blake is considered "well-dressed". Really? And I am not even a crazy Leighton fangirl who pitches a hissy fit every time Blake gets a magazine cover.

I don't like these best-dressed lists from Vogue, because they're always wrong. I don't know exactly how they judge but it is not always the best choice. Once they said that Natalia Vodianova was the the best dressed, but there were another people from the list that were so much better dressed that her.

When has she had a hissy fit?

^ I think that she was trying to say that she (yalil) doesn't have hissy fits when Blake gets a cover.
