The Glossies: January 2012 Best and Worst Covers
-
Marie Claire South Africa
Marie Claire South Africa put Kate Moss on its cover and, while at 38 years old there may have been better dresses for her than a red flower-accented one, there’s no denying the British model's stunning beauty.
-
British Vogue
It may not be January 1985, as this cover would suggest, but how perfectly fitting is this Florence Welch cover and the singer’s covetable Chloe gown?
-
Playboy
Why one would want to see Lindsay Lohan in the nude is a mystery to many, but her much-buzzed-about Playboy January/February cover is out and she channels Marilyn Monroe in the inside spread.
-
Town & Country
It’s too bad someone stuck Shala Monroque with an oddball pink puffy miniskirt because this month’s Town & Country would otherwise have been perfect for one highlighting the New Year and a "New Face."
-
Allure
Hard to believe this is the same girl from The Social Network. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara shows off her flawless complexion in a close-up shot on this month’s Allure.
-
W
Sexy never looked so sophisticated. Carey Mulligan rocks a Nina Ricci jacket and cotton bra on January’s W cover.
-
InStyle
Beaming mother-to-be Jennifer Garner stays warm and toasty in a Donna Karan sweater coat on this month’s InStyle cover.
-
Shape
Move over Heidi – okay maybe not – but Molly Sims does look fantastic on the cover of this month’s Shape.
-
Marie Claire
Even people who don’t find Angelina Jolie arrestingly beautiful must concede she looks stunning on this month’s issue of Marie Claire.
-
Vogue
Vogue’s oldest cover star to date, few actresses are as deserving of some glossy time as Meryl Streep.
-
Vanity Fair
Lady Gaga may feel omnipresent at this point, but Vanity Fair succeeds in delivering a fresh, exciting cover – even if that hat looks straight out of Chris March/Christian Siriano-era Project Runway.
-
Cosmopolitan
There’s no arguing that Scarlett Johansson is beautiful, but what exactly is going on with her hair here? The color, the cut, the styling…puzzling.
-
Brazilian Harper's Bazaar
Why use a fur stole when you can outfit your cover star – in this case, model Caroline Trentini – with a cat?
