I have mixed feelings on Emma Watson but she looks lovely and so chic on the cover of T magazine. That cat eye is perfection.

Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the Fall Fashion issue of New York magazine. While a lot of people are understandably upset by this choice, I’m always more interested to see Kim on a magazine that will cover her a bit more honestly than an eager-to-please lady mag will. The cover story was interesting and well-written but it covers somewhat familiar territory: a look at the business savvy behind the family’s empire (which The Hollywood Reporter did better a year ago,) existential questions about the Kardashian’s place in our current cultural landscape (which was covered by T magazine two years ago,) a look at Kim’s unabashedly middle-brow fashion branding (again covered by the Times’ Style section in 2010,) even the edgy approach to photographing the pinup bombshell was done with much more fanfare by W magazine. However the piece is genuinely insightful in places.
I appreciate that the magazine tried to make Kim look a little different and not quite so perfectly coiffed and immediately identifiable. But on some level the ambivalence with which they treat Kim (see the cover line: Does Kim Kardashian Belong on the Cover of a Fashion Magazine) seems like a bit of a cop-out. New York magazine is obviously hoping for good sales with this issue but yet they seem a touch embarrassed to be slumming with the reality star. In other words, they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Jessica Chastain is on the cover of T, the New York Times’ Style Magazine. I’m a huge fan and I love this shot of her. I have to say, considering how Jessica shot to stardom last year, I’m surprised she hasn’t booked more major magazine covers, I think she’d be a great fit for Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, and eventually Elle.
