Whether she’s fronting Vogue Turkey, Vogue Mexico, Vogue Italia or posing nude alongside Doutzen Kroes on Vogue Netherlands, Lara Stone slays every single time. W Korea welcomes back the Dutch bombshell, closing out the year and gifting us with a duo of sexy and wonderfully over-the-top covers. Photographed by Matt Easton, the current face of Balmain puts the likes of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid to shame as she gives a master class on how to flawlessly work the lens.

As expected, our forum members were thrilled with the outcome. “I love the second one (below)! And obviously it’s always great to see Lara Stone,” sighed a delighted GinAndTonic upon checking out the two covers.
“Wow Lara looks great here! I’m loving these covers, love the styling and the pose in the second cover – I might prefer this one,” Valentine27 chimed in.
“Well that’s a stunning pair of covers,” applauded forum member dodencebt.
Also loving the covers was magsaddict: “W Korea has far surpassed the original in terms of quality, while American W gets thinner and thinner and increasingly sloppy, W Korea rarely disappoints. Lara’s strongest cover in ages!”
“Flawless! It’s good to finally see something like this again,” admired Lola701.
“That’s the Lara I love,” wrote apple.
Benn98 agreed, commenting, “The second cover looks spectacular, like Vogue Paris under Carine [Roitfeld]. I’m glad to see classic Lara back!”
“Lara Stone is always a good idea,” stated MissMagAddict — and we couldn’t agree more.
