Exceedingly dull, in my opinion.

 

[Melancholybaby]

The Dior dress is used so much better in i-D with Julia.

 

[GlamVal]

The cover is nice, but nothing new I'm so tired of the same work of Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

So boringg

 

[Miss Dalloway]

LOVE her, but this is such a snooze fest, my god! She can photograph so much better! At least the text layout is well placed & "minimal". HandbagQueen thanks a million for your snaps, you rock!

 

[Tinsley V]

Honestly I try to hold my opinion of the cover until I see the layout inside but this just looks like an issue of Good Housekeeping. What does Testino do exactly?

 

[visualoptimism]

charlize is so amazingly beautiful and this does not show it ...how is that possible though

 

[Nymphaea]

How plain, there is really nothing that excites.

 

[[Piece Of Me]]

Very boring indeed. Frustrating because Charlize can photograph so much better.

 

[catherine88]

It's quite simple cover, but Charlize looks really cool.
Not bad, but also nothing spectacular

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Also they really into red masthead this year, this is like fifth cover with it so far!

 

[jeffandtheworld]

LOL, the layout looks like Lucky magazine. Same art director? lol. so cheap.

 

[Psylocke]

Nice to see her on the cover. But it's a very flat cover indeed. There is too much black, her stare is vacant and the background and layout seem to be the same for every US Vogue summer cover, year after year. Testino's work with celebrities is pretty much always yawn-inducing anyway.

 

[Marc10]

They had all the good elements but the composition is so off.

 

[Raymond Kim]

Again, too fast choice about dress like last month. I can't feel element of summer except her hair and background.

 

[Cosmic Voices]

The dress just doesn't correlate with the location.
I love Charlize but she has had MUCH better Vogue covers imo

 

[HeatherAnne]

Seriously Wintour, it's time to go. Dullsville.

I love Charlize but she has had MUCH better Vogue covers imo

Yeah this is exactly my problem with the cover. I don't see how this modern sporty dress has to do with a tropical background? and I guess this means we're officially on F/W 14?
