It’s not a bad image at all. I presume it’s by M&M.

But why Kim? Why???????

 

[Benn98]

Yes to everything from the neck down, but why her???? Jesus, Anna! 'The Awakening'?? Her hype is as old as yesterday's toast.

Yes to everything from the neck down, but why her????

Let’s rephrase it to “Yes to everything from the face outward.”

Maybe I need to see a doctor, but I actually like this? And a coverline about RuPaul!

Anna has clearly los her credibility YEARS AGO so she was just thinking perhaps: ``What the hell I do what I want, it´s my magazine: so here´s another cover of Kim!´´ ahahah pfff I can´t say more it´s just VERY sad to have lived and seen the golden era of US Vogue in the 90´s with sooooo many supermodels and great editorials and these days: instabrats and w***** on the cover of what was once known at the bible of the fashion industry.

It's not bad at all if you ignore the lips and ridiculous photoshopping. I actually find it to be a classic, timeless US Vogue cover. It's just the subject, so revolting!

I guess this must mean M&M is back at US Vogue. Sigh.

The colour palette and her wet hair reminded me of Beyonce's September 2015 cover. It's an okay cover in general, but with Kim K who's the symbol of everything superficial and idiotic in today's society, one has to look beyond the cover itself.

 

[mikel]

I’m excited by the RuPaul feature and I wonder which RPDR queens are featured.

I'm unashamed to admit that I like the look of this, and at the very least Kim Kardashian makes for a refreshing subject over Lady Gaga or Serena Williams for the umpteenth time (who I might've thought would've been on the cover with the Met Gala upcoming).

It's a fairly straightforward portrait cover shot, but the wet hair and dripping water gives it an edge for an American Vogue cover (yet still maintaining their quintessential cover aesthetic). Almost positive this was photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott!

 

[Blayne266]

I love this, clean simple minimal. The wet look and styling works really well and I really like Kim on covers.

Whatever you say there’s no denying that she would be considered a style influencer these days, everything she wears instantly becomes a trend, so it makes sense to have her on the cover imo.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Didn't even have a shock seeing her name this is what Anna's Vogue is now!! Horrible cover, and it will be a cold day in hell when I buy a magazine with her on it. And i don't even go out of my way to hate Kim, but nope thank you!

 

[JPineapple]

Give me Kim and RuPaul -my guilty pleasures- in the same magazine and take all my money!

 

[jal718]

Simply awful

 

[MON]

I love this! Credit where credit is due, regardless the subject. Really reminiscent with Beyonce’s cover I must admit.

What I really love about this is the fact that Kim FINALLY got a cover of her own. Not because of that disgrace of a husband she has. No man. Just Kim.

AND. RUPAUL. IN. VOGUE. Sold.

 

[guimon]

Shocked. I really wasn't expecting this, but I'm happy for Kim. Say what you wanna say about her, but I like her personality and style.

Talking about the cover, I don't like it... The boring ''pose'', the facial expression, the styling, the water/wet hair is just a big no.

 

[honeycombchild]

I tuned out of American Vogue the first time she landed on the cover, I haven’t bought an issue since actually.

The quality of the image isn’t relevant for me, the fact it’s Kim on the cover is evidence enough that Vogue and Anna stopped having an opinion long ago. They go with what they think everyone wants.
Remember when magazines used to lead the way with fashion? It’s such a distant memory now sadly. Vogue is the Madonna of the publishing world. Gone from blazing the trail and setting the trends to shamelessly trying to keep up with what they think the people want.

 

[chanelh]

no attribute to Karl in this issue??

 

[magsaddict]

I think April had a tribute to Karl? Wish they'd do a proper tribute ala Vogue China.

That was only a letter. Surely they will do a proper Chanel editorial or feature? Haven't seen anything in British Vogue either.
