Favourite Magazine Shoots Of 2011

This is mytop 10 list of magazine shoots of 2011. 

 

10. Elle -Keira Knightley March 2011

I was really captivated by the extreme chop they had done with Keiras hair in the other pictures. Plus what she was wearing showed a brand new unperfect Kiera that all the other magazines seemed to shoot her as.

 

9. Elle - Cheryl Cole Febuary 2011

 

Again with Elle but they have a way of photographing people in new ways. They brought out a different side to Cheryl and I feel the shoot was a push away from her normal way of shooting again appealing to another audience!

8. Emma Watson Elle Novenber 2011 

Hit the wintery feel perfectly and the clothes along with the amazing photographer Rankin worked perfectly and they produced a brilliant shoot that I wish there was just more of.

7. Vogue - Rihanna November 2011 

 

Vogue took an odd approach to their shoot with Rihanna but again I fell in love with the wig she was wearing and although the images were sparse and not as good in the cover inside. The cover was still worth the buy.  

6. Harpers Bazaar - Beyonce September 2011 

Beyonce looking stunning on the Sept cover showing a fun side to her shoot in the hotel room which worked perfectly with her. I disliked the cover a bit but only a little bit because you can’t help but love her.

5. Vanity Fair - Emma Stone August 2011 

 

I am a massive fan of Emma Stone and thinks she isn’t given enough recognition for her talent. Thankfully Hollywood have realised her potential and snapped her up for many block buster films and I'm sure she’s going to very far.

4. Interview Magazine - Amanda Seyfried March 2011 

 Interview magazine itself does brilliant shoots however this shoot that they did with Amanda was so sinister and creepy and I was just captivated by the whole shoot.

3.Dazed & Confused - Beyonce July 2011 

Oh my. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they decided to shoot one of the biggest stars in the world this way but it sure did work. It is one of my favourite shoots for ideas this year and I can’t believe how great she looks and how diverse she can be when comparing it to the other Beyonce cover above.

2. Elle - Rosie Huntington Whiteley July 2011 

 

Just missing out from my top spot is back to Elle with the amazing Rosie on the cover. Rosie is such a beauty and I'm glad people are finally beginning to notice her. This shoot in Elle was absolutely brilliant and they made Rosie look stunning and by keeping her clothes on! I'm sure whatever anyone gives Rose she will look stunning but well done Elle for doing a cracking job!

 AND THE WINNER IS

Marie Claire - Miley Cyrus March 2011

If it wasn’t for this Marie Claire Cover with Miley Cyrus on Elle would have won but they captured Miley in a new light and allowed her more grown up image come through the photographs without them looking awkward like so many other magazines do. Miley looks stunning in each of these and this is why this cover is my favourite.

So that’s my top 10 magazines covers of 2011. There were so many amazing cover stars this year and some brilliant photo shoots from all the magazines.  However overall I think the award goes to Elle for being the best magazine and having consistent brilliant shoots time and time again. Nearly all of their covers were in my top 10 but to mix it up I thought I would add in a few others.
