The best thing is the Juan’s edit

Never rated Emilia Clarke on the covers of fashion magazines and it’s obvious that not even Vogue Spain or Thomas Whiteside (who has been doing wonderful portraits for American Marie Claire of late) could do Emilia justice.

The colours are nice here and I can appreciate the minimal text but that dress swamps Emilia and the stiff pose along with the vacant expression just make for a lifeless cover overall.

2019... and all these ruffles! Boring... like the girls un the pictures

2019... and all these ruffles!

So true! In their defense, they're only showing what designers (the brands who keep these magazines afloat with advertising) want us to see. It was either this route, or the Gucci-template where the clothes are still inherently saccharine, but it is packaged with grit and irony to cloak it. Even Vogue Paris who don't particularly subscribe to hyper-femininity was forced to capitulate with those three April covers.
