Madonna Gets Five Different Covers for Cosmopolitan’s 50th Anniversary Issue (Forum Buzz)

Madonna failed to hide the fact she was about to star on an upcoming issue of Cosmopolitan , after she shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the shoot with her 3.5 million Instagram followers back in January. The info was immediately brought over to our forums for discussion and we’ve been waiting for the cover to drop ever since. Cosmo finally released its 50th anniversary issue and understandably, produced five covers for the celebratory occasion. Madonna was photographed by Ellen von Unwerth and insisted in participating in the same old and tiresome concept.

Make no mistake, the majority of our forum members are yearning for change. “Zzzzzz …. NEXT!” proclaimed DutchHomme right away.


“Sex and Madonna are two things I would never want to associate with one another,” noted a disgusted GivenchyHomme.


GlamorousBoy echoed similar uninterested thoughts, writing, “Awful and boring… everything.” Nail on the head, we say.


Additionally projecting the same idea was Nymphaea: “Can’t she do anything else? For years she hasn’t had any interesting pics. Move on!”


“The plain backgrounds are their signature so to go away with it, for me, loses the identity of the magazine. This is a step toward the wrong direction. It looks like a fan wanted a cover for her but couldn’t find the exact Cosmo fonts and a shot of her on a plain background, thus the result,” MON discredited.


But not everyone was left wanting something different. “It’s a well tested formula for Madonna to be presented like this, at this point in her career. It’s so very interesting that not even Cosmo could break away with that. Shows how much power she has. On the other hand, I do like that 25 years later, she is back on the cover, true Icon!” admired Miss Dalloway.


“All great shots, nothing too original, but still great,” enthused justaguy.

Our forum members raced to the thread to sing Glamour‘s praises with Nepenthes using the word “beautiful” to describe the cover, hitting us off on a positive note.


“I LOVE this cover!! Plus, Kerry has been racking up the fashion magazines back to back! Bravo to her,” hailed RanThe.


MON shared the same attitude, writing, “What a powerful cover. I love this so much! Michelle looks stunning! She looks very regal even though it’s a simple cover. Her aura shines through as well and I’m so happy that they styled her hair beautifully! She leads this cover. Kerry looks beautiful too! She looks herself and I’m so happy that she’s getting covers after covers!”


As did GIVENCHYlover, who stated, “Not bad for Glamour.”


Also full of love was tigerrouge, who echoed, “There’s been so many supermodel group shots recently, I’m happy to see a cover that goes one step bigger, because that’s certainly some combination of high-achieving women.”


“I bet this will sell like crazy, women love these ‘feminist’ covers. I guess all of them look nice, but I dislike seeing politicians on fashion magazines, no matter if I like them or not, they should stick to Time and Forbes,” noted Srdjan.


“I really resent the positioning of Kerry here, would have switched her, and SJP, it looks like Washington is just barely squeezing to make it in the shot. But all three such fantastic women,” Miss Dalloway suggested.
