Fashion lovers have been lamenting the lack of models on magazine covers for awhile now. While foreign editions of glossies often feature models, US magazines have been favoring celebrities for the last decade or so. However, these past twelve months we could not help but notice a trend of models landing covers previously reserved exclusively for actresses and singers. While the heyday of the supermodel may never return to its full glory, these girls are leading the pack in mainstream fashion coverage. Check out our roundup of the model cover takeover featuring Lara Stone, Kate Upton, Daria Werbowy and more top faces.


LARA STONE ON BAZAAR – Dutch model Lara Stone landed on the April cover of Harper’s Bazaar US. The magazine called her “Fashion’s Obsession” for one of the headlines. In the issue, Lara opened up about her 2009 rehab stay for alcohol.

  1. I kind of like having celebrities on the covers because then you know who the main article of the magazine is about without having to read it.
