she looks perfect

 

[Nymphaea]

A very luxurious straitjacket.

 

[Avogadro]

Oh wow this is awesome

 

[Nepenthes]

I'm really confused by what she's wearing. Her face looks perfect though!

 

[jeffandtheworld]

She looks amazing!!

but the cover is a little bit cut & paste?

 

[GlamorousBoy]

she looks great but that black thing she is wearing is horrendous

 

[TeeVanity]

Maria looks absolutely gorgeous but I am with most of you not feeling the clothes.

As Grace said: "She looks like she's wearing a plastic bag".

Maria looks gorgeous here, but what's going on with the outfit?

1 of my fav. Vogue Portugal covers!!

One of the best Vogue Portugal cover images in a while, the styling is weird. But nonetheless a powerful image.

 

[Srdjan]

I like the styling. What I don't like is the lack of the eye contact and how red/blue texts ruin the dark concept.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

Not bad

 

[gossiping]

love the image but they could have made the design a bit more exciting...

 

[Bruce7Lee]

I knew this would impress me when I saw the title.

 

[Greenway]

I can't help but think about the May 2013 cover with Sharam Diniz when I see this, it's so similar. A model of colour on a grey background with a black, white, blue and red colour scheme.

GREAT model choice! I LOVE MARIA!
But this Vogue team is so uninspired and uninspiring! Vogue Portugal needs a huge change! There's always something off, they don't get it right, ever! They could shot Maria by Cuneyt walking around Lisbon in great clothes! Or in Sintra, one of the most beautiful places in the world!

We (here in Portugal) have the best places in the world according to Conde Nast and many other highly awarded and known publications, as well as New York Times, so many applaud Portugal for our great and diverse country, and Vogue Portugal always do such borings studio shoots, if you want a great studio shoot hire ... David Sims!

When it's not a studio shoot, it's a reprint, and when it isn't a reprint and also not a studio shoot, it isn't shot in Portugal, it's in Paris instead...this magazine doesn't come across with their vision of the portuguese women, so many years have gone by and they still don't have a distinct image, and still can't differentiate themselves as Vogue Portugal, because when I see any good Vogue I always know from where it's from just by the cover shot...and this is just plane boring

Maria's cover story is nice, very much a star.
