Cover Wars: September Issues UK vs. US

September is the biggest month in terms of fashion magazine covers and, although, we are barely through half of August, all the major magazines state-side, and across the pond, have revealed their September covers. So for this Cover Wars I have paired some of my favorite September covers US vs. UK editions.

First up is Marie Claire:

SJP and Anne are two of my favorite leading ladies, so I was happy to see them in MC's front cover. While I love Anne's flowy locks and fresh face, I find the starry-night-like top to be too distracting. On the other hand, SJP's cover is a welcomed change from the usual couture looks that magazine editors love to put her in. Her simple and sweet, orange and pink, dress is really working for me!

Next up is Elle magazine:

Two blond stars graze the covers of Elle and Elle U.K. Although I like Gwen's outfit, I feel the pose and expression are lacking a little something. Meanwhile, Kristen's U.K cover is kind of romantic and haunting at the same time. I am really loving it!

And last, but certainly not least, Vogue:

This is the hardest pick for me! I simply love Kate Moss (despite all the scandals and bad press), I think she is such a talented model and I love her in this beautiful purple gown. The  whole look reminds me of Marie Antoinette. However, Vogue U.K has a more fashion forward cover, Freja looks gorgeous in the shiny, sequined number and the sense of movement ads an extra edge to the image. Hard to pick a favorite!

Which September covers do you like most? Are the U.S or U.K glossies impressing you?
