Beyonce covers November’s Harper’s Bazaar

It’s not often we say we prefer a subscriber’s cover to a newsstand one, but Beyonce’s November cover of Harper’s Bazaar is one of the rare exceptions. Maybe it’s because it’s a full-body shot and she is arguably the sexiest woman alive, we’re not entirely sure but there’s something captivating about it. 

Queen Bey flaunts her figure (obviously taken before she was visibly pregnant and not because she is wearing a fake baby bump as reports today have strangely speculated) and makes women worldwide jealous. In the interview, she talks about why she and her hubby waited so long to have a mini-Bey and Jay-Z , as well as who her style inspirations are. Hint: lots of them are British and we couldn’t be prouder!

Head to Harper's Bazaar.com for more pics, a behind-the-scenes video and more snippets from the interview. 

Jennifer Aniston Covers American Elle November

LOVE this picture of Jennifer Aniston on the cover of Elle US. The styling, the pose, the angle, the clothes…everything about it! Yes it's a tad over-Photoshopped, but what isn't these days? The main things that caught our eye were the stunning shorts from Balenciaga that we are honestly quite obsessed with and some bracelets from David Yurman that are also particularly beautiful to look at.

Johnny Depp Covers Vanity Fair November

Swoooon! Who says a cover star has to be a female? Johnny Depp is arguably still one of the hottest men in Hollywood - a heartthrob if you will. We applaud Vanity Fair's decision to put him on yet another one of their covers and think other mags should follow suit. We know there's plenty of Johnny to go around!

Amanda Seyfried Covers Glamour UK November

The November covers are rolling in and quite frankly we are loving it. Another blonde bombshell covers a British November mag and this time it's none other than Amanda Seyfried. She's looking a whole lot more like her youthful, girly and modern self in this cover as opposed to the W one she shared with the sexy Justin Timberlake in presidential gear. You wouldn't think this was a November cover, but then again, English weather is very unpredictable (we say as we recently had to dig out the summer gear) so who are we to judge?

Kristen Stewart Finally Feels Like A Woman

Looking at this sultry, young woman on the front of what is essentially a lad's mag, you wouldn't guess that Kristen Stewart didn't feel feminine for a long time. The Twilight leading lady was quoted in November's UK GQ magazine as saying: “I looked like a boy for a long time…Now I feel like a woman.” Good for her; we're pretty certain this shot will send any red blooded man's pulse racing!

Kate Winslet Covers Harper's Bazaar November

English mag, English rose - it all makes perfect sense. Although we don't usually see Kate with the feline eye flick favoured by the classic Hollywood greats like Brigitte Bardot and even Cleopatra, she manages to look both classic and contemporary all at the same time. And despite the heavy make-up and inevitable airbrushing, she still looks herself. Kudos to photographer Tom Munro, he's done a gorgeous job

Emma Watson covers Elle November

Another English rose cover star for you  - spoiling you, we know.

We won't lie, this cover looks like it was accidentally hacked off by an intern with a grudge..why oh why you would purposely choose to cut someone's jaw off is beyond us! Nevertheless, it strangely enough still works.




This is only the subscriber's edition though (i.e. you've already subscribed; you're lumped with whatever they give you) so we'll just have to wait and see what the newsstand version looks like. We do like the feathers, we really do…but why choose to hide Emma's cute and youthful face? Questions, questions!

Kristen Stewart Covers November's Glamour

She may not be as glamorous as she was on the September cover of W magazine, but this is by far our favourite K-Stew magazine cover since…well, ever! Why? Because she looks comfortable and more like herself than we've ever seen on a magazine cover before and that earns lots of Fashion Compendium points. Plus, Kristen's magazine cover appearance only reminds us that Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 is almost upon us and we could not be more excited!

Rihanna covers British Vogue November

What's this? Rihanna covered up?! Well we never! In all seriousness, Rihanna looks just as sexy in clothes as she does without them. She oozes class and sophistication on this front cover (it's a totally different story in the editorial pictures, mind - more on those later) and officially says goodbye to her signature bright red locks. Is anyone else in complete and utter love with the Armani Prive dress Rihanna is rocking? Well done, Vogue. After only Adele's face made it onto their October cover, it's nice to have an almost full-body shot!

Miranda Kerr Covers Harper's Bazaar Australia November

Looks like Alexa Chung isn't the only celeb to fly the flag for Britain with her outfit choices. Flawless beauty Miranda Kerr, i.e. Mrs Orlando Bloom, poses up a storm on the front cover of Australia's Harper's Bazaar November issue, wearing a cute outfit by designer of the moment, Mary Katrantzou. This collection screams Stella McCartney fruit obsession, but in a totally new and refreshing way; Miranda totally does the outfit justice and we can't wait to see the editorial!

Kim Kardashian Covers Harper's Bazaar Arabia

Flawlessness personified, wouldn't you agree? According to Kim Kardashian herself (or her blog, at least) this is her first ever magazine cover in the Middle East and this is definitely a great way to make her debut. There are lots of behind the scenes pictures on Kim's Celebuzz site showing her covered head to toe in awe-inspiring Dolce and Gabbana…cannot wait to see the end results! There's THAT yellow star print dress to look forward to; the Dolce and Gabbana star collection from their Autumn/Winter catwalk was one of our favourites of that season and we're glad to see it dominate yet another magazine editorial.

Kate Moss Covers Elle France September In Denim Shorts

We think it's been a while since Kate Moss just stood and posed for a magazine cover in something so simple. We really love this picture of Mossy on the September cover of Elle France; its so minimalistic and youthful. No fluffs, gimmicks or ridiculously overpriced high fashion pieces…just a simple pair of denim shorts. Nothing quite proves the extent of a model's presence in a shot than limited wardrobe and styling. Nice work, Sonia Sieff.

Kirsten Dunst Covers Flare November

We're beginning to love this magazine and resent that we don't get it in the UK more and more each issue. Kirsten Dunst sports a refreshing blonde choppy hairstyle with a fabulous fringe (we've had fringe/bang envy for years so always appreciate a good one when we see it) on the front cover and we love her youthful on-trend look. And where have we seen that gorgeous outfit before? Only on the wonderful Emma Stone at the premiere of Friends With Benefits - and both ladies look divine so don't ask us to do a 'who wore it better' because we're stumped for a winner. We feel we haven't seen a lot of K-Dunst lately so let's hope this is the first of many appearances to come; welcome back babe!

Elizabeth Olsen Covers Nylon October 2011

My, that female Olsen gene is one hell of a potent one - forget twins, Olsen triplets, anyone? Congratulations to Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister to the one and only fab duo that is Mary-Kate and Ashley, as she has just landed her first ever magazine cover! And unlike her older sisters who have shared the spotlight for the majority of their lives, she's doing it solo; and we have to say, she looks like a pro. She must have taken tips from her older sisters because she looks like she's been doing it for years.

We still don't know whether Elizabeth will have anything to do with the new Sex and the City prequel (rumour has it she will step into SJP's Manolos but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet) but either way, she most definitely isn't in her sisters' shadows and we can't wait to see her career blossom.

Lara Stone Covers Vogue Japan November

November covers already? Don't say we don't spoil you! Lara Stone brightens up the cover of Vogue Japan in some gorgeous Givenchy attire. Dress to impress? Lara Stone pretty much has that sorted, then.

Abbey Lee Kershaw and Lara Stone Also Cover i-D

Carine Roitfeld isn't the only fabulous cover star for i-D's 'Dream Big' issue, oh no. We also have the very gorgeous Abbey Lee Kershaw and Lara Stone to glare at. Absolutely love Abbey Lee's eyelashes - wonder where we can get a pair of them…

Katy Perry Covers US InStyle October

You're all probably aware that we have quite a soft spot for Katy Perry, so we always see anything she does through a slightly biased eye. However, we don't think you have to be a huge KP fan to realise that this is one hell of an awesome cover. This is the first time we've properly seen her newly dyed pink hair in a professional photograph and we have to say the end result is just as flawless as we thought it would be.

InStyle have given us yet another gorgeous cover and were love how they didn't take the autumn/winter theme too literately with the colour scheme and injected a splash of colour to it. The contrast of Katy's bright hair and the black Emanuel Ungaro dress, Louis Vuitton belt, nails and plain white background makes the cover all the more perfect and this is one of our favourite October covers we've seen so far. The editorial pics don't look too bad either! 

Carine Roitfeld Covers i-D's Dreams and Aspirations Issue

Lady Gaga isn't the only one getting photographed by Terry Richardson these days; Carine Roitfeld got in front of his lens for the cover of i-D magazine's 'the dreams and aspirations' issue. Carine is the perfect model for such a theme, wouldn't you say?

Blake Lively Covers InStyle Australia October

Are the magazine covers down under getting better and better by the month?! We haven't had a Blake Lively cover for what feels like an eternity and quite frankly we want this rectified! Hopefully Blakey and fellow Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester will individually grace our magazine covers in the next few months as they promote the new series of Gossip Girl. I admit this isn't the greatest and most ground-breaking picture of Blake - we've all seen better; we know she can do better, you just need to look at her work with Karl Lagerfeld for proof. But she looks like herself - no frills and gimmicks and not even too much airbrushing. Just cute little Blake Lively being Blake Lively. Can't hate a Blake cover, even if we try really hard.

Katy Perry Covers Cosmopolitan Australia October

Where's the blonde and/or pink hair then? Was this cover shot months and months in advance or does Australia know something we don't know about Katy Perry and her ever-changing locks? KP looks jut like the KP we know and love - raven hair and of course, daring outfits. And we wouldn't have her any other way. Check out her Cosmo quiz - it's a great read!
