January is often an off month for magazines since they usually don’t go all out when it comes to their covers. But there were some covers that managed to impress. We were treated to several pregnant cover stars, including Ashley Graham and Petra Nemcova, and lots of kids. But the fashion was a bit more hit and miss. There were truly atrocious accessories (we’re talking iridescent beetles), pajamas and bows everywhere you looked.
Check out the slideshow above for a look at the best and worst January 2020 covers.
