It’s going to take a lot for Vogue to recover from the misstep that is their March Hailey and Justin Bieber cover. Unfortunately, there isn’t all that much to redeem that major flop on covers elsewhere. Even top model covers — with a few exceptions (Naomi Campbell finally on British Vogue again!) — underwhelmed this month.
Surprisingly, one of this month’s standouts comes from Cosmopolitan by way of Lana Condor. For the first time in seemingly forever, the glossy manages to pull off a delightfully cute and totally tasteful cover shot. There were a few memorable princess dress shots this month as well, which are always fun. Beauty-wise, it’s pretty hard to forget blue eyebrows, which came our way via Kendall Jenner.

Vogue Japan
How could 80s-inspired glam go so wrong? The styling here, which veered into juvenile territory, was a real missed opportunity given the talented models on the cover: Mariacarla Boscono, Chiharu Okunugi, Irina Shayk, Natasha Poly and Imaan Hammam.
