i think this is multi-cover though, we'll see.

 

[Verhangenheit]

it doesn't like her,no love

 

[Breathless]

She looks like Tyra Banks on that cover but still not bad.

 

[Bertrando3]

^ I know right?!! She looks amazing. I love Joan soooooooo cool for her to such a major cover. She totally deserves it.

 

[khyrk]

I'm curious to know as to who are the rest of the girls.

 

[shvsaharsvdawrld]

its supposed to be karlie and joan!

 

[IAmLordZen]

BTW, i'm unsure who shot this but someone at the cover rumor thread hinted this was shot by Meisel so I put it in.

And I'm guessing the likes of Lara / Arizona / Karlie would nab covers as well considering mr. enninful's teaser pic.

i don't really find this an awesome image at all, but it's a refreshing change to see models on the cover of W so for that alone, i LOVE this. hope the other covers surface REAL soon.

^That is Karlie Kloss, I'm almost sure

 

[visualoptimism]

i wish it was shot at a different angle but joan still looks gorgeous and looking forward to seeing the other covers!

 

[KateTheGreatest]

so so excited that a model got a cover, it's totally deserved. I quite like Joan as a model but honestly I'd be happy for any model.
and she looks beautiful, can't wait for a better quality cover.

 

[happycanadian]

YES!

this is absolutely EPIC for Joan! and from what i can see, she is looking breathtaking.

LOVE her! and already know i'm gonna love this cover!

Congrats to Joan for scoring the cover! I like it so far, seems simple but effective enough, and Joan looks gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing it in HQ

I'd love for both Karlie and Arizona to have a cover as well, which the rumours are definitely hinting at. I guess we'll wait and see

 

[Melancholybaby]

Finally, a) we get to see the covers and b) a model who's not Kate is gracing the cover of W! I really love Joan's intense stare and I can't wait for Karlie's (?) cover.

It's so hard for me to judge covers when they're shot through that awful Instagram filter, so I'll wait to see more.

 

[TeeVanity]

Wow Joan does look like Tyra, I am beyond happy for her and that snapshot of the eye looks like Karlie indeed. Excited to see the HQ because I already like what I see.

 

[GlamorousBoy]

She looks like Tyra Banks

That´s exactly what I thought at first

 

[j'adorekapusta]

Ms Smalls is so freakishly beautiful. it's insane.

 

[Mat Cyruss]

very Tyra indeed, but it'll be a beautiful cover

 

[fashionlover2001]

Can't wait for HQ.
How major to see models! So far I'm excited!!
