April 2020 Magazine Covers We Loved and Hated

While it’s always refreshing to see models get glossy covers, the April 2020 covers brought a shocking number of flops. In the models’ defense, most weren’t disappointing due to any fault of their own, but rather because of awful styling choices, snooze-worthy backdrops and cheap tricks (like an upside down cover). And no, celebrity covers didn’t fare any better this month. Not by a long shot. But it wasn’t all bad. On the beauty front, it was great to see lots of natural looks, even though at times they appeared a bit too natural. (Looking like you haven’t washed your hair in a month isn’t something most people find inspiring.) Check out the slideshow above for a look at the best and worst April 2020 covers.
