February brought us some stunning covers featuring both models and celebs. Unfortunately, it was also full of massive flops and major misses — not to mention some very odd fashion choices. Glossies are supposed to be where we turn for fashion and beauty inspo so it’s a shame when covers offer nothing but trite looks and poses.
It’s also worth noting that after all of last month’s shapely (and pregnant!) women featured on covers, including Ashley Graham’s stunning solo cover, there was next to nothing in the way of size diversity this month. And there wasn’t much in the way of racial diversity, either.
Check out the slideshow above for a look at the best and worst February 2020 covers.
