The cover wasn’t exactly fawned over by our forum members, however. “I love her. I love this, even though I think that the styling is a bit heavy (flowers and sequins). The layout is also nice, not crowded with silly tags,” complimented kokobombon.
“The cover is so radiant, I bet it’s gonna look amazing in real life. Pictures from the ed are lovely as well,” added Srdjan.
Also impressed by Bazaar was Miss Dalloway, writing, “Gorgeous and inviting cover, even if a bit tacky, but it works. She had some good covers for them.”
But discussion soon took a turn for the worse. “Please not her again…” begged a frustrated liberty33r1b.
“That fugly automotive museum with that dress and those injected lips, the stuff of nightmares. She seems to be on more tabloids than the freakin’ Kardashians these days…” echoed a horrified MulletProof.
Forum member tigerrouge wasn’t thrilled, either. “This cover isn’t even doing the one thing U.S. Bazaar can do well. It’s cluttered, it’s garish and it makes Gwen look like a slightly demented clown,” she mocked.
“Absolutely awful cover and editorial OMG! Editors at Bazaar don’t even care to try to look smart, I mean come on, it’s super amateur. Where’s the flair in the styling or the photography here?” asked a disapproving Bertrando3.
