I don't like this.

I liked her last cover better

[JeanAvril]

Thanks for the pic. It's not a very good cover. Too... retouched. Her last cover was shot by Mert & Marcus, the kings of photoshop, and it looked beautiful and natural (well, somewhat). Oh well. Can't wait for the rest of the content.

Here's the link to her interview:

I think Cameron is sexy and she can wear just about anything but this isn't working for me too much - the cover itself is a bit too plain and the pictures inside while stark aren't all that flattering. She's looked better and done more inventive shoots.

W always makes it up with the editorial content though.

she was soooo sexy with that black hair..but this is a nice cover too

 

[kahlilg]

wow ugly. but then again it's cameron diaz. love the rodarte CL's though.

 

[Moofins]

I'm not a fan of her, usually, and this time I am not either. I dislike the cover.

 

[Melly5525]

I love Cameron, not my favorite cover, very pretty but tame for W, the inside pics look good though especially the last one in the sequin mini and high platforms!

 

[ThiagoMello]

Cameron is one of the few celebrities I like seeing on covers, I like this Can't wait to know what's inside

 

[MissMagAddict]

I'm not a big fan of her's either but I think this cover captures her essence...windblown & beachy...more than the glamour type shots.

Arianna Huffington & Show Stopping Jewels interest me the most from the cover info right now

Thank you for the thread maffam

the "Sexy Cameron" text makes it that much more tacky.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I'm not a big fan of her's either but I think this cover captures her essence...windblown & beachy...more than the glamour type shots.

My exact thoughts!

 

[ChicParisienne]

Well I was definitely excited to see Cameron on the cover, I her so much...but this is definitely not a typical W cover, it looks more like Marie Claire/Elle/Glamour...

And the ed isn't interesting at all, what's with the plain background?!! One more thing...Michael Thompson? Since when?

 

[cake_batter]

she looks too barbie on the cover, which is usually a look i really like, but it's just not a good cover. the black and white closeup of her face is so gorgeous though.

 

[Spike413]

I usually think she's really beautiful, but I don't know what they did to retouch her lips and chin on that cover, they made her look awful. The ed is just boring, it's not photographed well enough to work as a simple photoshoot, nor is it dramatic and interesting.

I agree with hufnagel, her last W cover was worlds better.

 

[peacelover142002]

Wow. It's funny - I was picturing a pretty similar cover before I clicked on the thread. It's just the sort of quintessential Cameron Diaz "Oh you just caught me on my way to the beach" cover.

It's rather dull.

 

[Erin]

I really like those two covers - one's of sexy Cameron, the other is of cute surfer Cameron... I actually really like.

 

[izzie stevens]

^^ agreed.

and she always makes the same face for all of her poses. dull, dull, dull.

Michael Thompson? Since when?

michael thompson has shot w covers and edits (although less frequently) for quite awhile (covers with kate bosworth, ellen degeneres, cate blanchett, gisele, george clooney & renee zellweger). has shot also some really great edits for them. here's a link to his portfolio of fashion photography: http://www.jedroot.com/photogr/mt/thompson-fashion.php
