Eh. She looks like Jennifer Lopez.

I was going to say that she looks like Kate Beckinsale.

Hah you're right Jamie, she does too!

Guess we should call that bad airbrushing..

I think she looks really great, and I am pleased that they have de-wagged her, that would be so wrong for Vogue.

As much as I like the cover though, I find it a bit cynical to kick of a tough year for print media with a cover that is obviously going to sell loads. It screams money-making more than it does upcoming style icon.

I guess the silver lining is even if they are keeping the magazine alive this way, they are at least preserving the platform for up and coming designers to gain exposure.

Shame it isn't as simple as great hair and make-up eh!

Granted I'm no way near her biggest (or tiniest) fan, so I'm probably a little biased. But come on, this is Vogue for goodness sake. I'm not reading it so I get can get 'the story we all (apparently) want to know' about some pop star/WAG. If I did I'd buy 'Ok' or 'Heat' not Vogue.

I agree swwonder - Im not buying a magazine with a footballers wife on the cover, Im upset that its Vogue because I buy it every month. I dont care about Cheryl and her weight, I care about fashion. What is Vogue thinking?? She is not a good role model (fights in clubs!) and will never influence me in any way. Get back up to standard Vogue.

I believe she is a perfect candidate for the cover. Lets not forget statistics here, Girls alound have broken uk records with the most consecutive no 1's for a start, she has also done a lot of modelling including catwalk. She is a great role model too, from a humble background with a strong work ethic. Vogue is a fashion magazine and this lady has been a strong fashion icon of late. I find it refreshing to see her on the cover rather than a drugged up emaciated super model, not mentioning any names of course...ahem
