“I’m very surprised they reprinted to be honest. I wonder if it could be a limited cover? And someone else has the main cover? I even questioned if it was the U.K. edition, but it’s definitely all in English and the July issue, so I presume it must be? They haven’t reprinted in a long time have they? Excluding the Beyoncé issue,” informed honeycombchild the moment the cover surfaced.
“They haven’t reprinted in a while actually. It’s not a bad shot, but she’s a model, not a celebrity. Surely they could’ve booked her for the edit,” questioned a stunned Benn98.
Sharing the same attitude was TeeVanity: “That’s crazy that they use a reprint.”
“They should’ve gone with their original [above left]. But still, Bella’s gorgeous so it works,” approved MON.
Also a fan of the outcome was guimon: “I actually like the cover. Her eyes are so beautiful, wow.”
“Surely she would have gladly sat for a cover for them? It must just be a cost saving exercise for an issue that generally never sells that well. Strange,” said honeycombchild, returning to the thread.
Miss Dalloway agreed, replying, “Exactly, I bet she would be more than happy to do their cover, this is such a letdown they would use a reprint!”
