V Magazine #100 Spring 2016 : Britney Spears by Mario Testino

[Nymphaea]

Unexpected and she looks good, but it's no. 123... with this bombshell look.

Are there more than one cover? I only see one. It's a nice cover but she doesn't look like herself. With that said, I'm glad she's on the cover. She's an icon and a legend. Her HF covers are usually really good. And unlike most pop stars, she's not overexposed.

All three covers

I didn't expected to like something by Testino anymore but this is good. Britney is a good choice!
I'm a bit tired of the "relevant" question...
She is a pop icon.
I'm not a big fan of her but i'm tired of people always bringing the "relevant" thing on mags covers.
When it's someone relevant that is on a cover, people also complain about the fact that that person is overexposed.

I still hope to see her on the cover of Vogue. Just for fun. (And especially the fact that she is so un-fashion.)

One Vogue cover was enough for me! I do like these V covers though. I'm not sure why two of them are so similar but still.

 

[Platinum Blonde]

It's a beautiful cover. She looks great.

 

[Phuel]

V is funny LOL Britney is a musician????

Besides her looking like either 2004-Kylie or 2004-Kate Moss on these covers, the floating head cover(s) look really awkward: She’s being decapitated by the V!

 

[narcyza]

It's hard to recognize her.

 

[Handbag Queen]

Something looks funny with her lips.

^ Well, they're very clearly plumped to the extreme. She changed her whole face a couple years ago and is pretty much completely unrecognizable in these photos -- particular the horizontal ones.

I'm about as far from being a Britney fan as you can be. I actually find her enduring success to be not only a genuine mystery but also perhaps the original catalyst for so much of what is wrong with modern pop culture.

Alas ... I am very clearly in the minority and she IS an Icon, for whatever reason. So she's eternally "relevant", as it were. And, let's be honest, it's been a long time since she's had any covers.

I'm curious to read the interview, if there is one. I feel like I haven't heard her actually say anything of substance in about a decade.

 

[Cosmic Voices]

3rd cover is the best.

 

[Les_Sucettes]

I swear I genuinely thought this was Rosie ( the first cover i've seen was the horizontal one). What a joke!

 

[WeberFanatic]

Loving the second cover the most, I feel like even though Britney was the most left field choice for V for their 100th issue, she symbolizes what V was and what V is essentially now. She's an icon at the end of the day and that's what V wants to showcase up and coming stars that soon mold to become iconic. The photography is actually amazing for Testino's standards and all three covers look good.

Yes, an interview would be great. But really, as a fan I can tell you: don't expect any substance, let alone phrases more complex than "really cool".

The second "phase" of her Vegas show has just recently started, she's been displaying much more spontaneity (which is driving hardcore fans crazy with joy), her Instagram is being talked about and, of course, her new album is on the way, so I suppose V does have good timing.

I also don't understand why they made 3 covers with 2 that look so much alike. I love the third one (in Melancholybaby's post).

 

[MyNameIs]

I ADORE Britney. But honestly, has she ever said anything of substance? Lol. That's why I love her though. She's not pretentious. She's not trying to be someone she's not. And an intellectual she ain't, let's be real.

 

[lukaslohan]

She definitely is one of the greatest pop icons. I love these covers.

 

[VogueDisciple93]

COME THRU BRITNEY! LOOKING SNATCHED AND FLAWFREE ON ALL 3 COVERS! Definitenly will be picking my first V issue in YEARS.

Don't be mistaken Britney IS a pop ICON. She sells more than MOST. Makes more MOST. She influences more than MOST. She is not in the category as Katy, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, etc; these girls would perform in a tribute to her. V is lucky to get her.

 

[CATO]

it isn´t Britney it must be a younger "lookalike double"

 

[Valentine27]

I'm a fan of Britney since forever, so I'm thrilled to see her on these covers! I can't even recall the last time she was a cover star but it's unexpected and it feels good. Her mouth and nose area look so stiff, what did she do to her face?
Covers are nice, it's too bad two of the three look almost the same. I can't really appreciate a single one entirely though, she looks way too unrecognizable for my taste.
