I don`t like it at all. The styling looks sloppy. And the colors look off

 

[nightclubbing]

I'd really love to see her without that slicked back hair.

 

[Mat Cyruss]

somehow it looks like an editorial reprint/outtake

I dont like this cover. Mainly because of her face, really weird look.

Don't like it ... however I'm just completely amazed at how colour blind the industry is to this girl. Its like the "black girl" rules don't apply to her ... Kudos to her and her management ... !!!

 

[TeeVanity]

Very happy she's on the cover, she is styled as if she's part of the Burberry campaign or catalog. It's not bad, agree wish her hair was style different.

Even I'm not loving this cover , but it's still a big thing for Joan. IDK what other black girls besides Liya & Naomi have solo covers in Asia. She's really become the next girl in line. Good for her!!

True ... although Chanel Iman did get her Vogue Korea back in the day

I actually like the styling and the colors but unfortunately, this is just a bad photo of Joan.

Chanel Iman had a Vogue Korea cover

Joan has in fact a real good management from 'what i''ve heard.
Other then that; this is not a good cover, her expression is really weird. But good for her for grabbing another cover.

To me the most off thing is the shadow on the side of Joan's face, she needed to be lit differently or something. Also Joan is normally very good at looking "naturally" fierce or model POed, but here she looks like she is "playing" fierce, or alternatively she looks like she is having an off day, like she wasn't feeling too well and Jayla from ANTM slipped her a Benadryl or something, however it looks like they could have worked around that, I am still more bugged by the lighting, and that there should have been a sexier vibe by simply opening up the trench a bit to expose the brief / bodysuit. The cover is not horrible, but it seems rife with amateur mistakes.

You're right, but Chanel Iman is part Asian. IDK if that helps my argument....?

 

[Mchunu]

I'm not sure if I share the opinion of the majority...I think Joan looks good. Her face looks very bare/make-up less (but gorgeous)...there's more of a roll out of bed beauty to her and I think that's what most people are responding to as far as the 'expression' goes. If I can be very picky, I'd say I would like it more if they would have buttoned up the jacket all the way.

 

[Gabilan6]

She looks tired in the cover but for me it's because of the makeup,like someone says on her thread they want to appeal the asian market!

I agree but yet this cover doesn't work for me, she looks odd with that forced fierce face and the styling is plain aweful.

in that case, joan is half latino though

I don't like the cover but i like joan. i just kind of wish the make up and style was more glamourish...i know she may come across a bit boyish but i hate styling/makeup/hair like this.

I dont like the positioning of the W after that the cover cant really work
