MulletProof wasn’t crazy about the ‘Selena’ font either, but overall she sang a different tune. “I love it!” she posted. “It would’ve been perfect if they hadn’t chosen to put her name like that; it cheapens it. Other than that this reminds me of V/Pop stuff from the mid 00s. I find the yellow font and the gaudy shirt pretty refreshing amongst the perfectly ‘ethereal’/natural/outdoorsy aesthetic we’ve been seeing over and over in the past two years.”
“Finally! I love this, too!’ La bordélique agreed. “I was so sick of the white background and over-photoshopped cover stars shot with harsh flash… I’m glad she’s not pulling a cheesy smile or trying hard to look sophisticated,” she added.
The excessive text on the cover doesn’t really help the situation on the cover, but if Elle is looking for a way to stand out on the newsstand then it looks like they’ve found it.
