Marion Cotillard steals the August covers

Just as it happened last month with Emma Stone, Marion Cotillard has taken over the August issue cover of some of the most important fashion magazines around the globe. There seems to be a common thread that links them, which is how natural Marion looks. Something similar happened with Emma – these are not women who enjoy (or need) too much photoshop or makeup.
The first to come out was the WSJ magazine with its avant-gard feel. They've been doing such a great job lately – remember this incredible cover? Vogue Paris followed shortly afterwards. I received the issue yesterday morning and it's simply incredible how stunning such a simple idea can be. I was pleased but surprised to also find her on the cover of American Vogue because they always seem to have the exclusive way ahead of everyone. I liked how they kept things simple although I would have appreciated some copy editing on the cover. Glamour Spain went for a more young and sexy take but it's amazing how natural it feels to Cotillard. ELLE South Africa captured her best, in my opinion. She looks effortlessly beautiful, fresh and natural. And I love the contrast of the casual pose and the super chic red dress.

When I said Emma Stone is having a moment I really meant it. It's a bit annoying that she needed a film like Spiderman to get the attention from certain audiences because she was amazing in films like Easy A or The Help. This week, many magazines have unveiled their July issue covers and as it turns out Emma is on many of them.

The first one was obviously the American Vogue cover, which is so far still my favourite. Then it was New York Magazine. I love this cover because I think it really captures the goofy character that made Emma famous in the first place. It's just really cute.

Teen Vogue chose her and on and off-screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield (who incidentally is one of the best dressed guys at the moment). Who wouldn't want to buy this cover? You want to look like them. You want to be them. I want this issue!

Glamour Spain also featured Stone at the front of their latest issue. This cover looks familiar, you might say. And you'd be right because that same Patrick Demarchelier picture covered last year's August issue of Vanity Fair. Another example of this editorial recycling that fascinates me so much.

You know how fascinated I am with magazines recycling previously published covers and editorials. This time Glamour Spain has reused the Lana del Rey cover from Vogue UK's March issue. It's funny because they've barely even touched the image – only cropped it one or two centimetres. They have also kept the colour scheme Vogue used, although they added some yellow that looks quite tacky.

The story inside is almost identical to the original one, if shorter. I am quite disappointed because when magazines do this 'recycling' I expect them to add a different twist like Vogue Korea or Vogue India have done in the past. Why just reuse it if you're not trying out something new or interesting?

How do you feel about 'editorial recycling'? Do you like Glamour Spain's cover?
