Ooh so pretty and delicate..i absolutely love this one! Stunning

 

[Thefrenchy]

Damn, that's flat.

I would have looked better with a different background an WITHOUT that ugly sleeve.

 

[Psylocke]

What an awful cover That hair is all wrong. The angle and pose are weird and that silver sleeve is so random. And how boring does the content sound? Not a fan of this at all.

Creative and eye-catching. A great cover. I don't love her facial expression, but what can you do. It's an image that works both commercially and artistically. And, what's more, the dress and the sleeve are what make this image so stunning...and that's what a fashion image is supposed to convey above all else.

EDIT: Have to agree with Psylocke on the hair - it looks weird. I think the image is cropped in a way that makes it look like her skull goes on and on.

what's that on her forearm? it totally ruins the pic

 

[Miss Dalloway]

It's all about that epic face, the hairstyle bothers me a bit, but its still fresh with that background. I never like when masthead is that obscured, but here i don't mind, the glove was not necessary though. We get it she does a lot of costume movies.

 

[thiago:)]

Easily forgettable. She looks great, though. And I love the styling

 

[lucy92]

love this! this is probably the least amount of photoshopping i've seen on a vogue cover in a while.

i like the glove.

 

[Kite]

She looks good. I like it. I do however wish they would stop with the the Blue Background/Pink Writing........again and again and again.....

 

[justaguy]

I don't like the styling at all. Other than that, she looks ok.

 

[mikel]

I love it! Even with all thext it's a very striking image.

 

[Srdjan]

I love it so much. Love the outfit and the hair as well.

 

[honeycombchild]

The colours remind me of that SJP cover from too long ago actually. I like it though, outfit's nice.

 

[Breathless]

Why does she keep getting Vogue covers in the US? Is she really that popular?

 

[Srdjan]

^ Well, Anna Karenina's newest adaption.

Anna Wintour likes her. Sometimes that's the only thing a girl needs to get a US Vogue cover.

I love it! Despite the odd arm piece, I really love it! What a beautiful portrait of Keira. Although, I was expecting for an outdoor shoot since the September cover was a studio shoot. This is as simple as it could get. I would`ve seriously and 100% fall in love with this one if it weren`t for those hideous gloves.

 

[Starry]

The colours remind me of that SJP cover from too long ago actually. I like it though, outfit's nice.

Also reminds me of Angelina Jolie's cover (December 2010 I guess).

 

[Flashbang]

Her head is so huge on the cover. They could've shot her Leibovitz-style.. she's promoting Anna Karenina after all which is suitable although it can be a little cliche.
