I don't understand why the group cover gets so much hate... I'm not talking about the styling, which is questionnable (I like the hair and make-up but I can understand why someone would find Gap t-shirts on the cover of VP lazy, although I think they'd be missing the point), but about the casting and photography. I think it's different, the composition is cool and that's an intersting mix of characters. You don't see that kind of celeb covers a lot!
Everybody keeps saying that Meryl should be on Vogue, that Julianne deserves more attention... and here they are, both of them, yet people still complain! To me, they're the only two whose faces show signs of shameless photoshopping, but then again most women over 35 will end up looking like this on the cover of a fashion magazine... I'm not saying it's right, I just don't see why it's particularly awful because it's VP...
On that topic, a lot of people make comments such as "people would hate that if it were in Vogue US", basically saying that people have no judgement and hate Vogue US material for the sake of it... But interestingly, I see a new trend emerging: people who will hate VP no matter what they do, and that think that the only reason someone will like their work is because they are SO biased and secretely wish they were Carine...
As for the other four actresses, I think they look amazing. Sure they're photoshopped, but they still manage to shine through and look great, especially Kate as I've mentionned before.
That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing Natasha, Lily, Crystal, Magda and Vanessa!
