Members of our forums aren’t so satisfied with the outcome. “Another red cover for US; Bazaar, InStyle and now this. Cameron looks hot here, but when hasn’t she? This image could’ve been shot a decade ago and we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Love that it’s a full body shot, and the minimal text works well with it,” shared Benn98.
“Actresses like her, and Paltrow, etc. they simply don’t understand the power of turning down magazines. Just look at Angelina, and [a] few other famous women. I am so sick of seeing her everywhere for well over a decade now, give us a break! And I like Cameron, but yeah overexposure is never good! This cover doesn’t work, the angle, the dress….at least they did try something different,” replied Miss Dalloway.
They weren’t the only ones to acknowledge the slight retro vibe of the cover. Urban Stylin simply stated that the cover “looks dated.”
Lavieenrose soon responded: “There is a fine line between retro and dated. If the reference is too recent, you risk falling in the latter. The fact that she looks pretty much the same on this cover as she did in the early naughties amplifies that effect.”
Also not an admirer of the cover was justaguy: “Awkward pose and not one of Cameron’s best covers.”
“Oh God, another boring and ordinary cover of this boring and ordinary woman,” proclaimed an unimpressed GlamorousBoy.
