I love Keira but this profile pic is tremendously unflattering!!

 

[gazebo]

Usually I find her beauty 'annoying', but this profile and this angle make her more tolerable for my liking.

 

[Creative]

OMG, what a horrible profile!

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

Nothing cool or pretentious

 

[gossiping]

this is really amateur. doesn't look good at all

 

[justaguy]

Hmmmm, not the best angle for Keira.

I love Keira but it's not her best cover. All editorial is much better than this picture of her profile.

yikes, probably her worst photo of her taken. what where they thinking with that cover? she looks great in the rest of the photos though

I guess I'm the only one to absolutely like this. I usually don't find her that pretty, but this is such a lovely shot. I don't think I'll care much about the content, and yet I want to buy it solely for the cover.

^ I like it too. I think it's a nice cover and to me she looks pretty.

Two words: Sophie Delaporte.

I think the cover is pretty decent... I like that it lacks that glossiness and ultra polished finish of most covers out there. That said, the styling, the entire art direction actually.... I almost got hot looking at it, like wearing a tight bow tie for a whole day, I used to get this when looking at Hannah MacGibbon's collections for Chloé, such a tedious and corny take on femininity and I know it's all Leith here and she's "not afraid" (clearly) of this aesthetic being taken to radical heights (or bottoms- e.g. Lula) but when it's so repetitive, predictable and going around in circles, I feel hungover.

Sophie's work is pure oxygen so that should get this somewhere..

Second shot wouldve made a much better cover. One cannot deny Keira's beauty, but that profile cover doesnt do her any judtice. And it looks like that Dior dress wasnt that hard to style after all. I've been seeing a lot of good takes on it, this one's no exception.

I love Kiera and think she is so beautiful but this angle certainly does no favors for her. The angle is so weird that I honestly had trouble telling who it was....

Stunning cover, but she looks so bored on the editorial.
