The Midas Touch for British Vogue

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Olympics in London than to have a Midas (golden) Touch themed shoot for the September issue of British Vogue. Some of the biggest names in the modeling industry in England teamed together to wear some of the most glamorous bespoke gowns!

Vogue-The September Issue 2012

Every year I can't wait to see who is on the cover of the September issue for Vogue. Last year it was Kate Moss revealing her awaited wedding photos. This September 2012 Lady Gaga graces the cover of Vogue for the second time. What really shocked me the most was the fact this year the September issue will be a whopping 916 pages. The last year I recall it ever being so thick was in 2007 when it was 840 pages, claiming it was the "biggest issue ever". With almost 1,000 pages of fashion I know I cannot wait to get my hands on this issue!

Emma Stone's July Vogue Debut Cover

Considering I just did a post on Emma Stone a couple days ago, I would say her movie, The Amazing Spider-Man, is giving her the transformation her career needed. Now dating co-star, Andrew Garfield (better known as Peter Parker), Emma stone has done a complete 180 since her first big movie, Superbad. Although she is far from losing her spunky, funny attitude, her new style from head to toe is something I could get used to.

In her July Vogue debut she shoots with Will Davidson in Sydney, Australia. She talks about being a Victoria Secret model and what it takes to get the body she has. I would definitely have to say she looks AMAZING post-baby!

Karlie Kloss Joining Team USA?

With the summer Olympics kicking of in London at the end of July, Vogue had some of the hottest male athletes come and pair up with model Karlie Kloss for the June 2012 cover story. Vogue interviewed each one of the athletes about their prospects for the upcoming months. Photographer Annie Leibovitz did such a fantastic job capturing what fashion editor Tone Goodman put together for Karlie Kloss and the athletes. 

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot including the cover:

Soccer player Hope Solo, swimmer Ryan Lochte, and tennis player Serena Williams

Scarlett Johansson Takes on Vogue

With her divorce from Ryan Reynolds I saw Scarlett slowly diminish from the spotlight. Without expecting it, she is back and better than ever, even with a new romance. She is co-staring with Chris Evans in The Avengers, taking after the comic-book. She speaks of how she has grown through her divorce and different steps in her career. She is now dating Nate Naylor, and advertising creative director and is taking things slow. What makes this cover story is not the interview for me, but the pictures. She looks absolutely stunning to say the least. They dressed her in dresses of different shades of champagnes and blushes. She takes on a Marilyn Monroe look for me with the short, waved platinum hair and slight curves. From Dolce & Gabbona to Nina Ricci fashion editor, Tonne Goodman, really did a fabulous job.

Vogue Cover March 2012 With Adele

I was so happy when I saw that the Vogue cover for March was Adele! Not only did she sweep all of the music industry for 2011 but she is absolutely beautiful. I would love to see her become more of a fashion icon with her growing career. In her article she speaks of her path of voice troubles and overcoming that huge bump in the road in her career. What I love most about her is her outgoing personality which she speaks of as well. 

Here are some shoots of her cover story...
