Members of our forums fell head over heels for the cover. “Really love this cover. Strong colors, Rooney looks like herself, not dolled up and Photoshopped into oblivion,” applauded KINGofVERSAILLES.
“I’m loving this cover. It looks like one of their covers from the early 00s where they would have a slightly boho but sophisticated look to them. I remember some great ones with Erin Wasson, Kidman, and Blanchett,” pointed out A.D.C. Sharing the same attitude toward the cover was Nepenthes: “Powerful cover! Rooney is such a great actress and photographs stunningly!”
MON agreed, writing, “Wow that was fast. Anyway, what a stunning cover! Now this is how you do it ELLE! I love everything about it. They even got the layout right! They should seriously stick in this direction.”
“WOWZA!! This is easily the best Rooney Mara cover I’ve seen, ever! Even better than Vogue, Dazed etc. What a way to start the year. Kudos to ELLE. I cannot fault anything. Love the styling, love the photography with that sunlight coming through, and more importantly, love the art direction – it’s so neat,” noted an amazed Benn98.
“Love this cover! Great colors!” Handbag Queen added, feeling the exact same way.
