the editorial looks good, and charlize is so beautiful, i dont think she could ever go wrong having said that, i dont like what she's wearing on the cover and i find her pose/expression a bit boring. her face looks amazing though...if i didnt know she was an actress i'd swear she was a model. and i like that, to me at least, her face is kind of anonymous...i mean, of course when i see her i instantly recognise her, but there's something about her that is adaptable more so than another famous face like julia roberts, for example {even though i adore julia too }....hope that made sense.!

The cover is beautiful. The sad thing is I haven't been moved to buy a W magazine since the one where they paid tribute to Ralph Lauren? (Liya was in that ed). The magazines don't seem to have the eds like they used to anymore. It's like its turning into a Vanity Fair type magazine. I don't know, that's just my opinion.

Ugh. It seems as if ever since I started subscribing a couple years ago, this magazine has gone downhill What happened to all the great, creative editorials?? I miss the models on the covers the most though.

Is there no ed with charlize inside?

Lovely cover, Theron is incredibly beautiful. Nothing that spectacular though. Reminds me a bit of Hilary Rhoda's Donna Karan ad campaign.

The ed is OK. They've used the F/W 08 pieces already! But one ed is not enough!

^^Ooh that is VERY Herb Ritts, and she sure is the right type of woman for this style, LOVE IT!

 

[greyeyes]

[Diamond Star]

Charlize is so elegant...love her

 

[Miss Dalloway]

So the cover was shot by McDean or White?

Charlize looks stunning, I mean, she is stunning. And I guess this is the only good thing in June's W. The only fashion ed is quite poorly executed. I can only hope for better days!

it was styled by White

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^LOL i totally misread that, thanks for pointing out.

Dry Season is really stunning. Nothing groundbreaking, but I love the contrast and the styling is really cool.

Charlize looks really fierce. Her expressions are great. She can actually bring her acting skills into a still shot.

Charlize looks stunning, as do her ed and the Dry Season one!
