Awkward

Serene, and simply stunning! I don't appreciate the dig at Dylan in the tagline! SO over people attacking him over something he never asked for!

How wodnerful though that someone who had such an epic year, never felt to be on all the covers, she did few this year, but it never felt like i was seeing her face too much on the newsstands! She must have turned down many offers!

So this feels like a nice surprsie actually, to close her amazing year.

^ right? people are so clueless and so stupid about his value as a writer it's a bit depressing and of course insulting.. Adele is up there with Taylor Swift with the most trite, lazy, socially irrelevant and empty form of lyricism, and of course hitting every note like you're competing at a singing reality-show is the opposite of Dylan and it does not say anything other than 'great voice'. Ugh... ridiculous. I hate Vanity Fair..

I don´t like it... the makeup (and layout) looks sloppy and the styling is super boring imo.

She looks like a diva on the cover.

I like this. It's soft and dreamy, yet still very her at the same time.

I do like seeing her on covers, because her beauty styling is always superb, even if it's a one-note look.

Not what I expected, but it's really beautiful. Love her hair, it's not too composed as usual. It will always be about her face, nothing more. Probably she may even be perpetuating this. The lightness of it is perfect for VF December.

Re the Dylan jab, it's completely unnecessary! Doesnt VF have other more important things to focus on? Like their feud with Trump, or how Marilyn/Jackie O/Audrey was the most gracious woman alive? :eyeroll: Why even pit him against Adele, of all people??? This for me is the ultimate insult. I don't have ONE Adele song on any of my music devices. She's essentially a corny ballad singer, so even musically, I'd reckon her contribution counts for naught as she's far too young! Dylan's lyrics alone, which he wrote, is a piece of art which stood the test of time. This coverline is beyond preposterous.

Zzzzzzz

Living for that Bob Dylan shade. She looks good too.

The Nobel bit is in good humor, I think, and not meant as a cruel jab at Dylan.

The image is very simple but elegant and Adele looks good. I'm interested in a few of the articles mentioned on the cover, as well. My only (slight) complaint is that they called Adele "real" on the cover. I'm not saying that she isn't seemingly more grounded and less changed-by-fame than her contemporaries, but it seems like only certain kinds of people get called "real" by magazines, and they're usually women who don't fit into a sample size.
