Of course the one photographer who had to take a bad shot of Janelle had to be Collier Schorr. And then the audacity of Radhika to print her thumbnail on the cover (yes, I get the point).

Congratulations to Kat Graham for scoring a major cover!




Maybe the worst photo of Janelle I’ve seen, primarily because it looks nothing like her. I’m certain she could have taken a better cover photo herself, with an iPhone.

Oh my god, please remove Collier from that cover immediately. It's bad enough as it is... Janelle sweetie I'm so sorry

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Obviously Collier needed to have her face on the cover...

 

[MON]

Why on earth did they include that screen over there? The shot itself is okay, Collier's ego.. not so much.

I'm seeing that this is the new normal for magazines moving forward

Janelle Monae is beautiful, and usually photographs like a dream, but I can't think of a single interesting thing about her, that would justify this cover. That could be said of most VF cover choices under this new Editor tho. The golden days of Vanity Fair are long gone.

I find Collier Schorr pretentious, and mediocre. Her face is the last thing I ever want to see on the cover of a magazine.

.... but I can't think of a single interesting thing about her.

Really? Not even that one time Erykah Badu wished her happy Pride?

Oh my God? What has Queen Janelle done to deserve this?? I'll just pretend that this cover never happened.

 

[tigerrouge]

She looks like she's sitting on the floor, putting her boots on, because she's about to walk the dog.

I wonder if anyone appearing in Vanity Fair these days feels cheated that they missed the era where their cover shoot would look like they stepped out of Old Hollywood.

 

[caioherrero]

Omg this is so bad!!

 

[Zorka]

OMG, what a BLASPHEMY! Fashion magazines should be immediately prohibited from using/publishing these rubbish images made by "renowned fashion photographers" via Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, etc.

A simple screenshot would be a much better quality than the camera Collier used for this but sure whatever

 

[Urban Stylin]

They should have used something from the editorial

Janelle for sure would've done a better job by taking simple selfies. Thanks to Collier, but no.
