First: Natalia looks frozen and lifeless. More on that later.
Second: This is a DECEMBER cover. Does this color scheme and Valentino Resort 2013 jacket make you think of cuddling up by a fire, trimming a Christmas tree, and getting tipsy at a holiday party? I thought not.
Third: What is with that “POP” font in the lower left corner?! Not chic. C’mon Vogue!
Back to Natalia though. Sure forum members can be nitpicky, but they had a lot to say about Natalia on this cover. “She’s honestly looking like one of those wax figures,” Flashbang wrote: “There’s no life whatsoever. The more I see the cover, the more terrified I get.”
Iluvjeisa commented: “If she didn’t look so anxious and eager to please, this would have been a good cover. But she really has the look of someone who has tried really hard but is unsure they made the cut and is concerned that, if she smiles a little wider, some wrinkles might show.”
At least VogueDisciple93 kind of came to Natalia’s defense. “If I had to wear that awful jacket I would have the same expression,” he quipped.
So, maybe Natalia has lost her mojo a little bit, but what’s Vogue UK’s excuse with the fonts and the styling?
