covered stardom
The cover of US Vogue's June issue was made public yesterday and revealed that Blake Lively is once again made its cover. I didn't know if it was me or Blake had actually been in a lot of big magazine covers in the last months so I did some cover digging last night. She started appearing on W magazine in 2008 after being in Gossip Girl for just over a year. From then on, she was literally all over the place, starting with her not-so-age-appropriate Vogue cover in February 2009 and rounding it up to be the front of the American bible again next month. I can't really complain about this, as Blake is anything but unpleasant to the eye but reading Fashionista yesterday a very fair point was made by pointing out she is "not exactly modern American woman material".
I suppose Anna Wintour very much adores Blake's perfect body, which is why it kind of makes sense to choose Lively as the most suitable celebrity to sport swimwear. But still, American Vogue seems to be missing the point more often than not lately. We want to see something new, don't we?

I've really warmed to Blake. I used to be much more into Leighton but slowly Blake's stolen my heart lol. She seems so lovely and down to earth.
But I really don't think US Vogue is 'missing the point'. Their covers have all been so fresh this year. And it's important to note it's US Vogue not Paris - it's dealing with a much larger and more mainstream audience so it still has to look 'pretty' and most importantly it has to sell. I've been very happy with their covers this year.
And on another note I can't wait for the GG special. I hope there's a yummy pic of Nate!
I love both nylon and marie-claire covers
Blake is so perfect (i mean physically i understand why wintour got her eye on her)
