You can always rely on WSJ Magazine for a solid cover image and the magazine’s December/January offering is no different. After a beautiful Reese Witherspoon cover for November, Dutch photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin took model Rianne van Rompaey and stylist George Cortina to Greece for this month’s cinematic cover shoot. In the sepia-toned image (below), Rianne stands before the ancient Greek Temple of Poseidon, striking a pose wearing a Ralph Lauren trench.

Forum members also praised the accompanying cover story. “I didn’t like the cover, but now that I’ve seen the edit I can appreciate it more! It looks like stills from an indie thriller. Rianne is truly spellbinding here,” commented Benn98.
