The 5 Fugliest Vogue Covers of 2008

Today we came across Vogue‘s January 2009 cover, and marveled at the atrocity that is Anne Hathaway‘s mug. It’s not that she’s not pretty, but whoever is picking cover shots over at the fashion mag is doing a terrible job. Her face is vacant yet goofy, like someone just placed a plate of steaming hot Pillsbury crescent rolls in front of her and told her to go to town, right after she took a bong hit. That face may sell food, but it sure as hell doesn’t make us want to buy the latest issue of Vogue.

Anne’s awful cover shot reminded us of all the other duds Vogue has put out in 2008. We’ve picked out the five worst covers from this year, moments in which the pioneering publication has lagged way behind its peers in creativity, content and class. Let’s hope the fading rag will figure out a way to actually become en vogue once more.

    So true! The person choosing these cover shots is way off! The Jennifer Aniston cover was terrible! She’s gorgeous and you made her look ‘ok’! Come on!

    Ew, that dude has the hairiest arms. *gag*

  • Gina says:

    Her facial expression, especially in the mouth area, is just off. Why would anyone use this pic for the cover?

    Ditto! Anna Wintour needs to go! The worst is September Issue – the biggest issue – the biggest mistake. These actress are wannabees.Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! I only buy Italian Vogue now. Even UK vogue is rubbish, kate moss – fugly!
