This is the current issue of W Magazine, and I really love the cover featuring actress Jessica Chastain. Most publications now feature celebrities on their covers instead of models, and therefore don't take many risks in order to make these starlets look glamorous instead of interesting. W didn't go that route, and instead features Chastain divided into two parts: one beautiful, one off-kilter. The headline is "Art Meets Fashion," and I definitely think this photo embodies the statement. The painted eye is the focal point of the entire image, but that's just the start. The dress appears like a painting itself, and the hair and makeup is great. The little details like her different colored nails and lips add to the overall art quality of the cover. If I saw this on a newsstand I would grab it instantly. It's eye catching and different, two qualities any magazine cover should always have.
