The July covers were all about posture. Whether it was seasoned models like Gisele Bündchen or actresses like Priyanka Chopra, July brought curved backs and slouchy shoulders galore. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there were overly posed, total snoozefest shots.
But don’t despair because there are some highlights. Like Gisele decked out in Chanel and a truly stunning shot of Zoë Kravitz.
Check out the slideshow to see July 2019’s standout glossy magazine covers — for better or worse.
